RAIN HAMMERS TENT. LIVING ALONE IN THE WOODS. SQUIRREL PROBLEMS

I've been forced to leave my home. A wildfire nearby threatens my community. I chose to live in my tent during the evacuation. It has been raining a lot and there is a squirrel that's getting into all of my stuff. Here are a few days of life alone.

[@user-fi6el8xn3g]

I'm holding my phone in my tent on our airmattres watching you. We have been homeless for 2 years but living in a tent since April 1'st in maine. We have come a long way and are getting ready to buy a canvas hot tent that we can put a wood stove in. Now that we have been living off grid for so long we have come to love it. I have learned so much from watching youtubers like yourself. I absolutely love the woods and the peace and quiet. My husband always says we're living off grid in the grid. I hope you're home doesn't get affected by the fires. I live in maine and we have had the smoke and smelt it coming this way and we pray for you all!! God bless and keep you safe.

Hi Jay! A suggestion on your squirrel problems with your pan. Store them upside down. It will keep any unwanted guests from making any unwanted deposits. 😊

[@lbowzronpc2653]

Nice thinking!

[@kewljewl3006]

Good to see we think alike.

"I've been in a can flavor."....😅 It was nice seeing the Big Dipper in your view of the sky. I see it on clear nights in my view of the sky from the southern shores of Lake Ontario.

[@frederickmoller]

Yeah, you guys need all the rain that you can get, it's in your best interests to stop all those forest fires and get everyone back home and get on with their lives. As always I'm praying for the people the north who I adore!

[@wolfgangmikeleit4630]

Dear Jay, youl'll never be alone! We all are with you in our minds. I watch every episode of your videos. You made the right decision, to go to this spot in the woods. And it seems to be a great adventure. And I guess, you and the land needed this rain very much! I wish you all the best out there, many greetings from Wuppertal, Germany, take care, yours, Wolfgang. 👍💫🏕👋

[@annemarieandrus3912]

Hi from New Jersey! We’re sitting on our 🛥 watching you cook!

[@dalevandebeek2041]

Jay i watch A LOT of camp videos, Kent Survival, Joe Robinet etc but you are my favourite. I love how you love food and your humility and willingness to learn. Lets not forget your sheer guts to try the untried shall we say. Carry on my friend 🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@nancytipton2640]

Hey Jay, we love that you talk to us on your phone video so we know you are safe. Outdoor showers are the best…so refreshing. Hope all the rain somehow helps with the fire situation. Hang in there…😊

[@lvallejo88]

Yes you are right are talking to me hella there, just to let you know you're video's give me so much peace and relax me. Love them keep up the good work I'm stuck watching you and the outdoors boys on KZbin. Love youre guys videos.

[@lisace1787]

Hi Jay, I live in Toronto but grew up in northern Ontario. Love watching your videos because the wilderness reminds me of home 🌲🌳 and you’re always so positive! Take care & stay safe.

[@jaylegere]

Right on. Thanks for watching

[@frederickmoller]

I'm from Timmins, and lived here my whole life (68 years) and will never live in the southern part of the province.

[@lisace1787]

[@dalevandebeek2041]

I also grew up in Northern Ontario Canada Kirkland Lake, where are you from. We just came back from vacation in KL I miss the bush. I currently live just outside St.Catharines in a small town called Fonthill. Not far from you in TO.❤

Jay, I’ve always liked that you will will go with the comfort foods you grew up with.

HEY! Hello Jay and thumbs UP!!

[@theglamgram]

Nice tag line...made it sound like your tent collapsed. I hope you can go home very soon and be reunited with Crystal and your pup.

[@johnsonlam]

Thanks for sharing your feelings, during the hardtime.

[@r.c.g.811]

9:02 Ahahaha. Is what the body needs. Great upload!! 🫡

[@madamecampsalot6384]

Hey Jay! Great video. Try folding your excess flooring under to them size and shape of your tent. That way it won't collect water that could run inside.

[@plandgren]

I totally agree Jay. Nothing beats Kraft Mac n cheese and hotdogs when your camping. I absolutely love it.

[@rlwings]

I feel like I'm watching one of those movies where the main character goes out to camp and slowly looses his mind on camera Lol. :)

[@karlsteffen7804]

Thanks for the vid Jay. As always. Cant wait for the next one.

[@darkfangnightcrow]

You've been a youtuber I've been watching for a while now and you have always been awesome I always wish the best for you.

[@barryevans6089]

That Bison shot was amazing. Really gives a sense of scale to your location. Here in Malta, there are small lizards lol.

[@Vanhockeymom]

Omg the aurora photos are amazing! Glad you finally got rain, hopefully everyone can go home soon

[@Phiz787]

Jackery is good, and Bluetti! Those are the only 2 we have experience with, but the Jackery is my favorite.

[@brendahogue5487]

Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time they come on. Jay may the lord bless and protect you alone in the wilderness

[@robertlee7585]

Jay you are the Bill Murray of the Woods with your little Squirrel friend. 😂🐿️

[@sammiedpowerlifter7084]

That rain would just make me sleep, I find the rain falling on a tent roof so relaxing!

[@user-pd3vg3nn3y]

Hi Jay Avery time I here fire in the woods I think of all the people and animals and hope they find safe places and I pray for that 😊

[@Derknat]

I love that you just put words on the difference between being by your self an being alone, being by yourself is by choosing and being alone is a situation forced upon you ❤

[@cleocat1763]

I live in Illinois in the United States and we had horrible smoke from the Canadian forest fires last summer. The smoke was so bad down here, there were air quality warnings issued, telling people to stay indoors. I can't imagine what you all were going through up there!

[@user-pd3vg3nn3y]

Hi Jay you make Awesome and amazing good food Awesome chef 😊

[@maggiebockus6618]

You are amazing. Stay safe!!

[@kevinblacksmith7632]

Yayyy let it rain .. we need it in theses dry times 👍🏼

[@optimoprimo132]

"I hear something rubbing steel". I can imagine those Canadian squirrels all sitting around putting on war paint and sharpening their bowie knives to raid the camp. Whatever you do don't let them into any energy drinks. We saw what can happen from the movie, "Over the Hedge".

[@soniayoung7531]

Hi Jay the northern lights are so beautiful, the squirrel wants food, sorry you are still on evacuation notice ,praying everything returns to some form of normalcy soon stay safe

[@juditate111]

I agree that the squirrel wants food, but I do not suggest feeding it. Then it will only get more aggressive, and you will never get rid of it.

[@elteescat]

I got an ad for a 4 Patriots generator immediately after you showed your Jackery! I mean IMMEDIATELY! 😂😂

[@johnmcgee8019]

I just like all the stuff you show

[@irishheart4768]

Great video Jay, God bless stay safe & well. ❤

[@TheGhostlyone182]

Yes you're absolutely right Jay, in my case my phone. I'm so happy that you're all still ok during the awful wildfires! You have the survival skills and your family is safe.

[@savagelexlex1296]

I have the same exact shower pump for 3 years, had use it for 2 thing, showers and emptying my boat after a rainy day. I love it

[@suebrown3465]

I like your set up There's a lot of new items in your equipment this time I like your shower…looks like it really felt good..good job on the blurring I didn’t think they still make Klik and it’s brother Kam! Mr Squirrel is now your official camping buddy Hoping all goes well and you have plenty of movies and shows to watch at night Take care 🇨🇦❤️

[@asifiqbalofficial5329]

As you said, I am laying at my bed bed and watching your video but at the same time I feel that I am with you. Thanks for sharing such moments with us.

[@richardthomas1743]

Vinegar in a spray bottle is really handy to have on hand. Buy a Gallon , it makes for an awesome cleaner. Just spray it on your dishes and wipe off with a hand towel.

[@jaylegere]

Good to know!

[@joanpodmjerski9330]

So glad you can take a shower.😊😅😂🙃🫠😉🙂🙃

[@jaylegere]

Me too

Way cool shower gadget. Wow a Bison? No way. Pesky squirrels. They are cute but stinkers for sure. Where there's a will there's a way. LOL

You’re hanging tough Jay. Prayers and hope for you and everyone affected.

Great channel 👍👍👍👍

[@elwoodtaylor1092]

Right on Jay, its been raining here to but were not complaining at all, its better than forest fires, soon it will be snow, Keep your stick on the ice and stay safe

[@Nobucksolutions]

Jay we've talked a few times before.. I changed my channel name before I put out videos. But my wife thinks Im nuts because I consider Mac n cheese or beans n wieners gourmet. But like u said, it's so delicious I'd still be eating it if I were a billionair lol. Glad to see you're thriving during the evacuations. Most people are wildly stressed out trying to figure out what to do... then there's you, just chilling out in the woods making the best of it. Very admirable. Hope all stays well and ends well for you. Have enjoyed every video since the beginning. Thank you for the good content.

[@spiritawaywithme]

Hi Jay, I stumbled upon your video today while taking a sick day. This is extremely healing and therapeutic for someone who doesn't reside anywhere near the wilderness and is living a hustle-bustling lifestyle. Thank you for sharing this! New subscriber here.

[@bruschi8148]

Jay get some star san! It's a great no rinse sanitizer the is used in restaurants and the home brew community.. Awesome stuff

[@2fast65]

Great video Jay in your situation rain is a good thing.

[@tanyaa6452]

Hey Jay, the Buffalo segment was cool. He walked by you and looked as if to say, "What's up"!

[@jaylegere]

A cool moment for sure

[@davea1771]

See things from the squirrel's perspective. You roll into town, set up a tent, have food and tools all over, just getting in the way and crimping his style. Squirrel thinks (in his best Bugs Bunny voice) "You realize ... this means war." At this point it's either you or the squirrel, and he's not quitting. Best resolution may be to declare a truce and get used to it. :-) Things could be a lot worse. You've got a pretty comfortable setup going there. Hopefully it will be over soon. Hang in there.

[@marktaylor8263]

Stay safe, Jay. Put that mean ole squirrel on the menu.

[@fayepotts3279]

Hi Jay! So sorry you are still on evacuation notice! Praying for rain over the fires. Next time you go to a supply run, pick up a squirrel trap cage. Put some peanut butter and a few nuts as bate. Works every time! Bring it away about 8-10 miles away.

[@nikitaderbenev5811]

and some fruit/vegetables lol

[@philljeffrey8221]

Hey Jay, best to you buddy keeping it upbeat and positive. Your experience with the squirrel reminded me of a book called “my side of the mountain”, and your tormentor should be “the Baron”. If you haven’t read or listen before, I think you would appreciate.

[@deekelley891]

You know, lots of folks really like squirrel. Especially folks down in the US. I bet you could find a good recipe! 😉 I also enjoy our conversations-you’re just my Canadian friend I’ve not met physically. Like my 4th grade pen pal from Japan. Might want to get a metal truck tool chest for storing food and other ‘chewable’s’. Be safe, Jay.

Jay I always leave dishes, pots, and pans upside down just in case, the bucket and big pot can collect rain water stay safe and enjoy

Pretty nice technique for taking a shower and washing dishes you could even use the sprayer to spray the dishes off after cleaning Awesome photos of time lapse of the stars as always stay safe out there, bro

[@DonP_is_lostagain]

Glad you've been safe. I have one of those shower units, and I found they need plumbers tape on the hose to head part. They work great though! Great camp you have there, and all that rain helped alleviate the fires a bit. Stay safe!

[@user-yf6py4db9z]

I liked every minute of this video !! You were well prepared and you are doing well. Hope you get back home soon. Take care from Québec !!

[@gcruishank9663]

Yep, squirrels and mice can be a BIG pain the in rear camping. They can poop all over and chew up stuff. Not a bad idea to bring mice traps and maybe even a small squirrel cage/trap. Have to get one of those shower nozzles. Looks pretty good.

[@jankarel6454]

I hope you are keeping the bear spray handy while you are out and about.

Hi to you to Jay nice to see you doing ok.The meals look good as usual. 🙂🇨🇦👍👍👍👍👍

Thank God it rained despite the problems! Still sending mega thoughts & good wishes from Montana. Surely things will turn for the better soon.

[@nikospapageorgiou57]

Hahaha! Sorry Jay, but I just can't stop laughing... We are used to you making all those "mmm... Oh... Yeah" noises when you are eating something delicious, but making them while taking a hot shower while being naked out in the woods, is just so funny!!!

It's more than just conversing with us. I'm watching, wondering what I'm going to make for supper, and...oh, man, does that look good, sausage slices and Mac & Cheese! Put on pause, run vid back to 6:30, slice 'em up, and hey! I'm having supper with Jay! Pro tip: if that noise outside turns out to be that bison, let him have anything he wants...

Haha. Awesome

Hello Jay, a shower after a few days of roughing it. Is the best feeling ever. Mac & cheese w/dogs or sausage. Even baloney too 😋😋 rodents are nasty. Turn pots & pans upside down. Hopefully you can return home soon. Thoughts and prayers are with you as well as your country men/women. Stay safe be well. Praying 🙏 for more rain for the fire areas
