Ridiculous night in tents

I have 3 tents in one tent. It's freezing out, and I'm sleeping on a pond, but it's really warm in the 4 tent system.

A few years ago, when I was 70, I decided to spend one winter sleeping outside. I set up a 4-person tent, then put a 2-person one inside. I covered the frame of the smaller tent with a couple of survival blankets, then a quilt over that. I put interlocking plastic mats on the floor. 3 inch foam for my mattress, covered with a heated mattress cover. Topped it with a flannel sheet and sleeping bag. An hour before bedtime, I'd plug in the mattress cover. Kept me warm in -30C weather.

Novel idea. Looks like a LOT of work. Glad you're having fun. Totally enjoyed the video.

[@janiedillingham3190]

OMG, Jay! There were a few times during this video that I literally laughed out loud! Who would set up THREE RBM tents, one inside the other, then a bivvy tent, too? Only you, Jay. And I thank you for doing it. Made me laugh. That steak also made me a little jealous. Listening to all that eclectic mix of jams all night long was the cherry on top. Too fun!!

[@jayolson578]

Jay did you get the other 2 parts for that sleeping system? It is a 3 part military sleeping system…a thing green mummy bag, a black heavy mummy bag, and the Gortex Bivi-bag. Using all 3 will keep you somewhat warm down to -50F. Trick is use a poncho liner down at the bottom to keep your feet warm and it may sound crazy but only wear a pair of shorts to bed. That way your body heat warms the inside of the bag and the dead space in between each bag, just like layering clothes. I spent 20 years in the military and done right you can stay pretty warm.

[@glennpurchase807]

Great job Jay. You have a lot of tents. The smallest tent looks like a great idea. Thanks .

[@ericdethomasis3475]

Thank you Jay for sharing this amazing video take care See you soon on the next video 😊

[@dingo5208]

Remember the fireman who drove on the ice and sunk his week old F350? He ignored the sign that said stay off the ice, the one right outside the firehall. Love Yellowknife. Edit: military grade means made by the cheapest price possible. Don't cover your face, you get moisture in your bivvy bag which gets your sleeping bag wet which means cold.

[@davidsradioroom9678]

What a cool idea! A tent within a tent within a tent.. We had tent liners when I was active duty. They were good insulators. Oh, by the way, you had snow on the ground. Where I live we had the air conditioning on. Thought you would like to know!

[@user-pd3vg3nn3y]

Hi Jay that’s so cool 3 tents ⛺️ in one Awesome Amazing 😊

[@Forgehammer]

That was awesome!

[@samhill3496]

Great stove. I have one on order now. My friends Matti and Stina run a dog sled/canoe tour company above the circle in Sweden. They have used the same stove for many years to cook and boil water for the sled dogs. Lot of snow to melt every day. They hold up to big pots. Crazy camp with that many tents. Pure survival ability. Do the hot tent chimney pipe holes line up? See, easy to make a vid close to home. Just go out and do it. You'll see.

[@JP-lb5bm]

Jay, I think you’re starting to loose it 😂. You are insane, in a good way. Thanks for taking us along on your slow descent into insanity. Seriously, you are the bomb!

[@charlieoglesby3468]

That was awesome ❤

[@callofthewildontario717]

Great video

[@plextoob]

"Gotta duck!" or "Got a duck!" or both! :) Jay, I've been using MSR naptha stoves since the 80a. after you heat the stove, blow it out ompletely and then open the valve and start it. If you turn on the fuel while the heating fire is still going, it will flare up for awhile until it settles down. Sometimes it wont settle down and it has to be turned off and re-started. So best to get into the habit of: heat it up, blow it out, open the value and start. Thanks for the fun video!

[@jaylegere]

Awesome tip. Thanks

[@plextoob]

@@jaylegere A little more detail on the stove starting. The point is to keep the stove hot enough to vapourize the fuel when it travels thtough the pipe, in the usual way.If you blow it out, start it as fast as you can. I usually have the lighter flame going, blow out and light the stove. If its very cold you may not be able to do this and have to put up with the flare up on start. Just be careful if you have anything overhead. Soon you will equate the loudness of the stove with relaxation and enjoyment. :) Also, you may have to clean out the jet from time to time and also the pump. They can get gummed up with carbon - even the pump can pull carbon out of the fuel and get glogged. And make sure you put the jet cleaner pin the right way, its easy to put upside down. Best to do a completely breakdown of it at home so you are aquainted with it and not have to fiddle with all the parts for the first time outside. Enjoy!

[@chrisnoeske8904]

😅😅😅 I've thought of this when I was in 3rd grade. Finally someone has tested it out 😂😂😂

[@soniayoung7531]

Heyy Jay nice tent thanks for sharing this wonderful video, great breakfast stay safe

[@ryimscaith1593]

I have the UP-5 and have camped out in -40 F. Of course I was using the tent stove, but you don't need a lot of heat in these tents. When I first started camping with it, I banked the fire good to keep warm at night. Wound up having to open the door and windows because it got over 90 F inside with -20 F or so outside. Never thought to try it will just body heat. Nice to see that is a survivable option. Even more since my Rottie and Husky are my tent buddies. I will say the only downside to the UP-5 is the weight. Well worth it for a comfortable night's sleep though. Oh, and in case you didn't figure it out: The tent bag for the UP tents feels like there's lots of "extra" space. Compared to most tent bags, that is. However, you can stuff the footprint in the bag so it's all together. This puts that "loose" bag back to a very tight fit as per most tent bags.

[@shawnmahan316]

one of your best videos in my opinion. your confidence level was high. And fun content. although I like to watch you learn how to NOT be a carpenter on the cabin. 🤣😂😂great video Jay.

Impractical, but interesting experiment.

[@23bobjr]

its been done before. Many times. Still interesting to see how each person works with it though

[@AChildofLightHEATHER]

I see some guys used a foldable metal shield to put around the stove and container you are cooking in to help when the wind is blowing.

[@gaddobronx6740]

Hey Jay...Very cool video. Just some advise. When you were unzipping the insulated floor from the tent, I wouldn't pull zippers apart like that. As you run thr risk of damaging the zipper and it won't properly zip up or possibly rip the zipper seam. The best part was you cooking that prime rib. Best cut of steak in my opinion.

[@jaylegere]

Good tip.

[@BartBuzz]

This was a different and novel way to stay protected and warm. But I'm thinking you'd rather have a wood stove than 4 tents 😉 You were definitely having fun. And you can't beat steak and country music! Looking forward to your next adventure!

[@alanlister8810]

If you slept the opposite way with your head facing down the way then you could have had the camouflaged side up. Also if you use a hooped bivy which has one semi circle hoop this keeps the material off your face by about a foot.

[@luluwan5212]

If you used a folding cot as a foundation for your pad [which should be INSIDE the bivy]and bivy, you would be even more comfortable and warmer. Great video. RBM tents are the best!

The ice gets kind of spongy in the spring. Even being thick it's not as solid. You would be just fine close to the edge because it has nowhere to flex to.

[@jaylegere]

Good info. Thanks Jackie

[@stoutkm]

Great video Jay! I would be concerned about condensation in the inner tent. If you did decide to put up a wood stove, did all the stove pipe jacks line up? Just curious. Best regards, Kevin

[@davemccallum8302]

A gorgeous beautiful Blue-Bird Day in the NWT. This tent idea is a great test review @ Jay Legere! @Jay your videos need more of that fast interesting little dog that you had in a KZbin video >a week ago. It was nice with the dog and cottage guest but don't get me wrong this tent testing idea is excellent stuff. I also appreciated the new cooking gear with the liquid fuel stove, kettle and new surroundings stuff. The Mora is a nice device but there are so many much more cool blades out there that you can be modeling. I mentioned the other day after you asked the viewers what we want to see that to have more content with you commuting to and from the locations would make it much more cool and interesting. Then days later I see a missed opportunity for getting personal and first person with the viewers as the view switches to 3rd person and both you and the viewer are seeing as if operating the vehicle. There are production and editing loses occurring in your video shoots and I am simply suggesting try more things and make some stuff more regular.

[@daughterofgodcarolv8411]

Could you lay the bear tent on its side to open it easier? Have no clue. Im horizontally challenged and that's the only way I could do it😂 Also Luke from Outdoor Boys puts a metal ring around his cooking source to keep some of that heat in

[@jaylegere]

That's actually a pretty decent idea. I might give that a go.

[@MA_Patriot]

Hi Jay I have been following you for a few years now but this last 4 months I thought you deserved recognition so I binge watched your entire video channel you up loaded and liked every one however I did think twice about the modeling one 🤣. I Whatched you develop your channel from having a very primitive approach to what you established now. The channel is doing great and occasionally I Will repeat some videos just to help you out which I did recognise your were just happy just making vids but let's face it you need some return for your efforts. Jay you eat so much salt you make feel like Im normal, and meat nothing should stand still for too long around you. Your not afraid to lern or take advise and boy I would love to give you some good advice however there are so many good folks out there giving you fantastic advise and we see some negative too but each to there own. keep up the good work as you approach the 200k mark...thia last 3/4 months i have seen it grow from 174 . look after crystal she is a keeper and very supportive of one's ambitions 😉 Look after your self pal.....from Lloyd UK
