THE RED-HOT SNOW TENT. ALONE AND HAPPY

Winter is finally back in Northern Canada. I am so pumped to set up a hot tent and use it in the cold weather again. Nothing beats camping in the snow and fighting to keep warm. In this video, I am setting up a bear tent and I am making really tiny kindling and I'm eating bannock and bacon and I'm fixing a super old Coleman Stove.

I believe those stoves take a few minutes to warm up before they perform at full pressure. The tube goes over top of the first burner so it can further vaporize the fuel travelling through it, but takes a few minutes of heating up before it can do so.

[@Ammoguy1]

Correct. I used to use these a lot in the late 90's early 00's during my Army days.

[@dropshot1967]

Yep, I used to put some alcohol gell on the burner under the generator and light that, to preheat the generator, then, just before the gell burned out, I would slowly open the gas and it would lite easily.

[@mrseaweed5587]

Flame should be blue...I have the 1960s version with central canister white gas, gas, alcohol, diesel etc.

[@paulllacey1344]

No shit!!😅

[@paulllacey1344]

Obviously.!!

[@chucknorrisbarbie3043]

Look at Jay, in his element already. Figuring stuff out so we can all learn. No one describes things like you do. I appreciate that quality of your personality so much. Well done.

[@carolping9871]

Jay, you are a great teacher. Thanks for the videos. I am an elderly woman so I won't be camping out but I love learning new things. haha.

[@margaretgood580]

I can't believe how quick the snow has come around over there seems like you didn't have much of a summer, I watch Luke and the outdoor boys also he sure knows how to collect fire wood for a fire .. TONS OF IT... stay warm over there 🏕🙏❤

[@famasmaster2000]

Instantly a thumbs up before i even watch the whole video. Stay safe Jay !!! The snow looks awesome 👌

[@jaylegere]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@oldsouthernpine]

Another amazing video, sir! As much as I’ve loved the cabin content, super glad to have you back in a tent! Happy cold weather camping!!!

[@mawmawvee]

Yes, I love your tent.

[@HayzeeHayes]

Great to see you back in the snow Jay, good times are back!

[@lindaweston9456]

I loved watching you fix the stove. So satisfying.

[@pksubs1]

Had a good laught at this video! I'm in the Canadian military and that Coleman stove is what we use to heat our tents in the winter 😂

[@jaylegere]

Yes. This is a trick in Nunavut as well.

[@keithkarlac3473]

Alot of times it's the o ring on the pump goes bad. It happened on mine

[@marcguilbault572]

We used those when I was in the military in the 80s. Awesome stoves if they’re well maintained.

[@galgal2275]

Luke is a great guy. I watched him make the griddle plate his is lightweight and smaller but boy does he cook some stuff on it. He likes his 3 course meal where ever he camps lol. . He comes across very friendly just like you do. You should do a video together it would be fab x

[@theboz1419]

Mostly verry good curry.

[@traceyforsyth8840]

I love his channel too and I always feel starving after watching him cook and eat his meals 😂

[@desireegriffin8473]

This is just what I needed. Thank you Jay! ❤

[@juikke]

Good job Jay. Another great examble that birchbark is the best kindling you will ever have! I have it in my sauna stove(Finn as I am)every time I start the fire. All you need is a little piece of bark and it is guaranteed you will make it.😊

[@Loulou-nj7ji]

Great video love the tent ⛺️ ❤glad you got to fix the stove good job. So happy winter is finally here I’m so excited to see what new adventure you be bringing. Until then stay safe stay warm and god bless 🙏✌🏼

[@melissasmess2773]

Bear Tent is awesome, glad you had a good time in your hot tent!

[@RandyBeers]

Love the video, Jay! When I'm watching you struggle with some of the challenges, I just want to say, "hey, try this..." I wanted to suggest putting a loop of cord on your tent stake loops, so you could use bigger wood stakes without compromising your tent. Also wanted to suggest burying the stakes under snow, but then noticed you only had an inch of snow or less. Here I am making comments, but you're the guy out there braving the elements. LOL Great job, my friend! I learn from you all the time! (I had to look up "bannock")

[@vickigross1514]

Me too, look up bannock

[@VickieSmith-oi4xw]

Yes I love Luke, on the outdoors boys.

[@Bruins8851]

Let the winter camping season begin! Looking good Jay!

[@fayepotts3279]

So glad to see Jay! Thank you for letting us wintering with you. Glad you could fix the old Coleman stove.👏👏👏

[@Kyankrahn1]

I'm hooked also on Outdoor Boys. Luke can do everything.

[@jaylegere]

Very knowledgeable

[@gregnewlin1074]

The flame on the Coleman stove need to be blue. If there is any yellow in the flame it will soot the bottom of the pan. The little lever on the left side, according to Coleman, up is to light, down is for cook. I think the heating of the fuel through the tube is what gives it a cleaner burn? Just my guess on that, but I have owned and used them for over 30 years.

[@jaylegere]

Thanks for the tips

[@toomanydogs2]

I agree with you Greg. I still use this style Coleman stove for cooking at the campground. You leave the lever up for a minute or so after lighting to get to the blue flame. Loved this video Jay!

[@TCA-TheCurrentAffair]

Excellent video Jay, can’t wait to snuggle up and watch your amazing winter content 👍🏻

[@mattseymour154]

what a nice way to switch up aka end a video regardless if u got something to work or not i enjoyed thx for bringing us along

[@rogerquenault7207]

The part of your video that pleased me the most was the very end when you put up you will be back very soon, I have missed the snow and camping videos

[@rickyjessome4359]

Fantastic video Jay! That snowmobile is a Yamaha VMax from sometime in the 90's. It's hard to believe winter is here already. Cheers

[@jaylegere]

Darn! Ha. I thought for sure it was an exciter of phaser.

[@rickyjessome4359]

@@jaylegere you were very close! The vmax is just as good as the phaser or exciter. Yamaha snowmobiles in general are great machines. Very dependable!

[@vdeveau20]

Hello. Hope you had a great summer. I'm looking forward to all your travels!

[@AlexOutdoors23]

Great video, great channel, great tent. Subscribed, man.

[@williammeek7218]

I remember that tent from last year. It is a great tent. With the little wood stove it’s very comfortable. Been waiting for this thanks for sharing. Well that was fun ,stove repairs , wood stakes and all.

[@kyleloew432]

Excited for this winters videos. Been watching a few years, and i look forward to winter, cool to be able to watch a channel of a guy who loves winter camping aswell.

[@angeloserrentino102]

JAY. Good to see you again. I’m looking forward to another winter season. Keep them coming

[@markcrowell2727]

OMG - my Dad had one of those Coleman stoves we used during our camping trips!

[@susanm9824]

Yay! Let the fun begin!🌲❄️⛺️

[@joanpodmjerski9330]

Good to see you again for the winter.😍🥰😉🫠🙃🙂👍👍👍💯💯💢💢💥💫

[@lillypad9960]

Have got to say, he is so incredible to have a floor in his tent. So many men I've watched stay in a tent without floor covering. As they age, that cold will destroy their bodies. I know. Blessings from Michigan.

[@patbeaudoin4237]

Wow can't believe it's that time of year already where did summer go.We don't have snow yet but I know it's coming. Great video Jay 🙂🇨🇦👍👍👍👍❄

[@caroledwards9381]

Great video! Nice to see the snow again.

[@madamecampsalot6384]

Nice job keeping it all going! I like that you don't give up. Been watching Luke for years.

[@laspirit4adventure]

I really enjoyed watching and learning from the repair.

[@jjjvclub]

Love the tent! Great job on the stove, works great now!

[@nathansmith6914]

Your explanation of why it's so cool that you're just inches away from freezing but you're as snug as a bug is exactly my feeling too. Although I haven't experienced that it's the whole idea. Keep on trucking mate, lots of us are living vicariously through you. 👍

[@sandrataylor3723]

Glad you worked things out with the tent and gas stove. Hope you enjoyed your stay.

[@BillU1492]

Was waiting for your first “winter” video. Really enjoy these!

[@sc_308]

Great vid Mr. Jay! Good job on the stove repair man. I remember when I was a kid my parents using a stove like that...good times =) have a great week sir! 😎

[@danjennings6817]

Looking forward to the new winter season Jay

[@jaylegere]

Me too!

[@juditate111]

Great video, Jay. Again, I learned something new, love it. Thanks.

[@jaylegere]

Thanks Judi

[@janiedillingham3190]

Good to see you back again! I miss seeing your videos. Now that it's finally snowing up there, maybe we'll get to see more of you. Lookin' forward to it!

[@JayDubb_]

Ah, yes. Jay in his natural seasonal habitat. Great video and stay safe!

[@jaylegere]

Thanks Jay!

[@theglamgram]

Yes! Back to tent camping in the snow! We also watch Luke Nichols. He shows how to make the griddle in a video from a year ago. As soon as you said you’d forgotten your stakes, I said to hubby, “He will make wooden ones!” And you did. Great job and great video. Thank you!

[@jaylegere]

Ha. I did indeed make em!

[@joanofark7649]

I cooked many a breakfast in that old Coleman stove! Thank you for the memories.

[@scooterhughes9118]

Great to see you back Jay ! Been missing you on here! Glad to see winter rolling around and snow on the ground. Nice tent, I especially like the insulated pad underneath it. I bet it made a big difference. I thought to myself watching you drive those wooden stakes in the ground, " I hope he doesn't miss and hit his hand ", probably wouldn't have felt too good in the cold lol. But glad you didn't. As always I enjoyed watching the adventure and looking forward to the next one!

[@louiscapriotti9697]

Wow, the food you cook always looks great!!

[@jaylegere]

Tastes better!

[@jerryvincent8402]

Always impressed with your videos. Looking forward to see your progress on the cabin project. We are just getting a bit of chilly weather in the Mitten always look forward to the change of seasons.🇺🇸🐻

[@RandyHunt19]

Stove is working absolutely fine Jay it would cook anything you wanted in a tent to eat. Very economical to use as well. Propane is much cleaner and less smelly.

[@searlearnold2867]

omg, I picked up one of those Lodge griddles 12 x 12" second hand at Halloween. Great buy!

[@MrInfinitefinality]

I have the UP-2 and love it ! Thanks Jay

[@randysteeves373]

Hi Jay. Very much enjoyed today's video. If you find any leakage around where you screwed in the generator, try using a single layer of Teflon tape around the threads. Stay frosty!

[@jaylegere]

Thanks for the tips!

[@carolseniours9437]

Love camping with a Coleman Stove. Great seeing you. Awesome video.

[@jaylegere]

Thanks Carol!

[@snowysnobdds7842]

That rotating lever needs to be rotated a few times to clean the needle. Then you turn the gas all the way on and set the flame via the lever. The dial isn't used for flame control.

[@pkharper3525]

I’m glad winter is back, those old Coleman stoves can be a bit tricky, the last commenter was absolutely right, the burner below the tube is to warm up the gas, once it’s warmed up the burners should look like the propane stove. Stay safe till next time

[@wgs8304]

24 hour darkness here now in our area in Northern Canada. On the newer green Coleman I remove the washer on the first burner, seems to burn better now. The second burner does not have one so you're not missing a part. I don't recall that washer on the old ones I have.

[@jaylegere]

Good to know! Thanks for the tip. Jay

[@450rhino1]

On the "pressure" plunger, you will see a place to put a couple drops of oil. Even drip some on the plunger, it will soak the leather o ring and you will build better pressure, quicker. :)

[@user-pd3vg3nn3y]

Hi Jay that’s nice Winter Tent and Awesome Wood Stove and the Food is Awesome what you made ❤ 😊

[@StansWorld]

I have a coleman stove like that my parents bought in the 50s still works like new.

[@jakheemmohammed1347]

Welcome back, Jay! Also love Luke's videos

[@sector5514]

Looks good 👍

[@craigculver1933]

Oh man Jay thanks for the video. Great stuff, I was like give it some time the burners will come around, lol So glad to see it working for you. Stay safe and happy.

[@jaylegere]

Thanks for the comment Craig!

[@jeantaylor824]

My nephew and I watch him every Saturday too. He great

[@gregeliason9625]

Great vid Jay!

[@deebrake]

Your channel is amazing and yes we do watch Luke from Outdoor Boys. He is the reason you came up as recommended in our feed. Still binge watching and liking for you.

[@beacee]

Oh my that made me snicker! 😅 Looks like it’s a two person job to put that tent up! Beautiful setting!

[@suzannesnow7485]

Cool video! Love how you think out loud!

[@jaylegere]

Ha. Thanks. Jay

[@Publikwerks]

I love the outdoor boys!

[@richardthomas1743]

HEY! Hello Jay and thumbs UP!!

[@jaylegere]

Hey Richard!

[@miganhawkins8390]

Split pea is my ultimate favorite. I love it when using a ham hock. Slow cooked, it's amazing. It's a meal on the go. Pour some in a coffee mug lol.

[@keithlarge1151]

Yes the flames are right.....what happened during the early phase was the carbon and grit burned itself out and cleaned up in the burners

[@FLsheepdog1]

Turn priming valve down after lit. Soak rusted parts in White Vinegar.

[@brendahogue5487]

Love your videos and enjoy watching them. May the lord bless and protect you Jay and camping

[@DaiAtlus79]

28:30 eeeee right fancy flummies lol love it!!! they had snow up in ULM the other day and the first thing i thought of was setting up dad's tent and stove and making a scoff

[@richardthomas1743]

Yes , I think that the flames look good !

[@mikeandbeverleygodfrey1907]

Great job on the stove. I've used a stove like that a lot of times. I'd like to see that old snowmobile working. How about a show on that.

[@Andrewoutdooradventures1550]

Fantastic video Jay like your knife and stove, I've got my friend's Russian tent he gave to me , thanks Jay for sharing this great winter video 👍👏

[@jaylegere]

Thanks Andrew!

[@kurtbaker4078]

Absolutely love winter camping. In fact I have everything packed and ready to go at the first snowfall. I agree, Luke is the best. Stay well Jay. Kurt/Northern Mi.

[@samfogleman271]

Love your vids!!!

[@timcurry192]

In early - pure pleasure watching the Views and the Likes roll like a Vegas slot machine. And snow. We've made it through the summer and let the fun begin!

[@lifeofkenny5094]

I catch myself watching your videos and the outdoor boys channel everytime a video comes out

[@nickiclark4066]

Gotta love Luke. The family adventures are epic and I always watch wishing they would adopt me. I know I'm 41 but we can make something work hahaha. I live in southern Arizona so don't see much snow that sticks but would love to do a hot tent camp some day. Looks like it could be a really good time with the right gear. Admittedly I would probably only have two three days in me first time around but could build to at least a week I think.

[@harnold7992]

Yesss Winter ❤

[@jaylegere]

Agreed

[@mikefoehr235]

The difference in weather in Canada is remarkable. Last week in Southwest Ontario we had 20 + C Temps and you have snow.

[@soniayoung7531]

Heyy Jay, nice to see you snow camping again I like your tent nice color, you had to work hard to get that fire started, glad you got the stove to work, thanks for sharing stay safe

[@areguapiri]

He's safer than you.

[@dsudikoff]

Coleman working great. Nothing wrong

[@chassoprano]

Your video has inspired me, I would love to try the hot tent experience while I still think I can. I want to experience that feeling you're talking about. I am going to subscribe based on our mutual love for Luke and his family. Keep up the good work. Thanks

[@frederickhillegas2115]

Great 👍 job. Love your videos

[@mangopog9814]

I love the latest invention for fire, MATCHES…they just seem to work…😂😂😂😂😂

[@lxdesign1]

Yup - that's pretty much how I remember the Coleman stove's operating when I used to camp with my Scout troop.... I'd say you got am working - maybe try a bit of compressed air down the pipes.. to clean out any crud that might have built up inside over the years... but looks good.

[@noyopacific]

I’ve used Coleman white gas stoves for decades. They are great when you want more heat than most propane stoves can deliver. You did a good job with it but I wouldn’t recommend using it inside. The generator turns the liquid fuel into vapor when it gets hot enough. The risk is getting too much liquid fuel to the burner before the generator is hot enough to vaporize it. Thanks for the video Jay !

[@markntexas8265]

Well done thanks for the content

[@suebrown3465]

That was a fun video to watch Will there be a part 2? I used to use that kind of stove for camping and during the ice storm in Quebec way back..came in super handy I was right in there when you were fixing yours! Looking forward to the next video..snow..brrr! Take care 🇨🇦❤️❄️

[@lorifossold1222]

Right in your element 👍

[@craigbutler623]

At least with that stubborn firesteel you can get warm trying to light a darn fire! Your peasoup sups looked awesome!

[@chiapagringa]

Wow! You've got snow already. Darn, if we don't get decent snow this winter just south of Lake Ontario, I'm moving to Canada. Climate change is killing me.

[@mitchguenette8470]

Great video jay mon ami

[@jasongentle6446]

Winter here jay back in is ⛺ sorted 👍👍👍outdoor boys is great to 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇨🇦🇨🇦👍👍

[@adriancox-thesantjordigolf3646]

I had a tent-like this in 1980 too, and it was the first one sold in Spain. And it was a double folding umbrella style. Dual walled, but only about 1.5 m high. You could erect it in 30 seconds. The maker was Igloo.
