THE WOOD STOVE MAKER. HIS CABIN AND TENT

This is a tiny cabin community in Labrador. I'm spending 2 nights here hanging out with men of the woods. Jerry owns the cabin I'm staying in. He's been my mother's partner since my father died. He's very skillful in the woods and has more experience than I can ever gain. I love to learn from him and others here. He's also a master stove maker and you will see his stoves in this video. One stove weighs nearly 1000 pounds.
I grew up in Labrador and my love of nature comes from this beautiful land.

Did everyone else go “yaaaaay” when the notification arrived for this video! It’s a paradise on earth. I can see why you’d want to return/revisit ❤

[@mikefoehr235]

Yaaaay for Jaaaay

[@MegaSusanc]

I sure did! I've been trying to wait patiently for it. Lol 😅😂

[@MFJoneser]

The most broken of all will tell you watching a video of this, rather than endeavoring to experience this human birthright joy of sustaining in harmony with nature yourself. Folks mandating tv reality for all are the most harmful entities to the spirit of human life. Within reason and while not harming another, refuse to let watching others live a life possible for you too be your ultimate satisfaction.

[@renatev.7473]

We live in the most beautiful country in the world. Thanks for taking us on your trip home. Amazing!

[@moxywoman]

It was so special to see you hang out with and learn from Jerry. What a legend! Thanks for sharing with us, Jay!

[@Mike-iv3hy]

A lifetime of Chopin wood and holling it ! Mike.

[@TheAlexanderswagner]

From Jay, his friends & loved ones, to the commenters and the community of subscribers, the kindness on this channal is palpable. What a happy, sweet and genuine corner of the internet. A wonderful place to hang your hat for 30 minutes. Thank you all

[@jaylegere]

Love this comment. Thanks so much Alex. Jay

[@richardS730]

Jerry is the type of old-timer you gotta let him keep going. because that's all he knows. Seems very Knowledgeable. I know you've said he isn't your biological dad but he's taking the time to teach you and spend time with you. Never take that for granted. I've learned almost everything I know from my step father

[@rosaolbera8768]

Omg jay your not kidding what a beautiful place there everyone is so amazing I can see why you wanted to go back to visit your home town so much beautiful snow I am so glad you had a wonderful trip and visit can't wait until you post a video of your place goodnight Rosa

[@jaylegere]

Goodnight Rosa!

[@nitafairburn7339]

Jerry is the mantis!!! I'd happily get lost in the wilderness with this man 😃💯

[@richardthomas1743]

Very nice! I am really happy for you that you had a chance to go back home! Thank you for taking us along Jay. 👍

[@ed1968man]

You've talked about Jerry a bunch, so it was really great to see you spend time with him and to see the man. He's every bit of what I expected. Having his friend and him do their usual things, and to include and teach you, was great to see. I'm glad you had that time together.

[@sohovulture87]

I know how excited you were to return to Labrador, Jay, and it seems to be everything you had hoped for! Thank you for my fix. This world is such a mess that I can't do without the oasis of calm and REAL living that you provide for us. As ever, best wishes from the UK

[@firetrain01]

Great seeing this skill set. It must be preserved.

[@solvend]

Turn off the tv. Life gets better. You're signing up for victimization reacting to media so negatively.

Really beautiful country up there so far far away. Air so fresh and clean. 👍👍👍

[@irondaisies1]

When splitting bigger chunks of wood, I find that taking a slab or two off the outer edge makes the rest of it split easier. Aim three to four inches in from the bark and go for it. One or two slabs off the edge and then go down the middle. I was taught that by an old timer who told me that trick would relieve the pressure inside the block of wood and make the job easier on the body. 30 years later, I still use that trick and it works great for me.

[@jaylegere]

Thanks for the tip!

[@corrinasaunders75]

Hey Jay Nfld’er here, it’s great watching your videos. I hope you enjoyed your trip and looking forward to having you back with more videos.

[@lorrainemacleod5953]

Been waiting for this one as I grew up in happy valley from 59 to 69, was awesome, we go back every chance we get! Hope there is more! Dave😀🇨🇦

[@Darioros326]

Great vid Jay. Really enjoyed it...thank you

[@MrsMoon-qs2gf]

I've been hoping you would post this morning and this is epic! In fact, this is one of your best! I love watching those true men of the North woods working their skills as well as your fabulous cooking. And finally, some ice fishing! Gee, that fish looked good!! Thanks so much, Jay!!!! 🐟🐟🐟🌲🌲🌲

[@Andrewoutdooradventures1550]

Amazing video Jay great to see the Land in all her glory.I'm going to see my brother in Canada soon thanks Jay for an amazing video, I'm going to love Canada

[@stoutkm]

Great video Jay! Very nice shots with the drone and on the sleds. Now I know where you picked up some of your experience and got to see Jerry who you talk about. Beautiful place. I'll watch this again later. Thanks for taking us along. Best regards

[@charleswilson577]

This video really does something to the inner soul, which is very rare. The people, landscape and food being prepared affects your soul. Probably more than any one I've ever watched. Thanks and want to see more.

[@KickNine]

You do a really nice job with your videos Jay. Love how nice and chill they all are. I like how you’re not afraid to admit when you don’t know something and aren’t afraid to show you doing something you’re inexperienced at. You’re definitely in touch with who you are. Keep making awesome videos!

[@steddyk]

It’s pretty hard not to look up to older lads that spent a lot of days in the bush. No fancy gear or gimmicks, just years of hard work and experience. Awesome video Jay.

[@jaylegere]

Thanks Johnny!

[@cherylleewilson6625]

Thank you Jay for sharing this time that you are having with the seasoned masters of the far north. Looks amazing and can tell you are having a great time. It's great you took some time out for seeing your mom again and being back in your beautiful old stomping grounds of Labrador. Truly blessed.

[@jaylegere]

Thanks, Cheryl. It was so great to be there.

[@pamelaspurrell8067]

Hi neighbor.... Newfoundlander here!!! So good to see you back!!!!! Absolutely love Newfoundland and Labrador!!!!!!!❤️

[@p.k.carlson6646]

Really good video, Jay! Just seeing how other Canadians live in the outdoors all across Canada is very interesting. Good for you to share this personal visit with us.

[@deanmartin9358]

canada looks so beautiful in winter Jay

[@paulblackwell3148]

It’s great to be humble…it’s how we learn….thank you.

[@jeannemarcinek4575]

This video is awesome and so is Labrador and finally the legend Jerry and the boys. Interesting on the boughs in the tent seeing that is a teachable moment thank you for sharing. Stay safe and Blessings

[@jaylegere]

Thanks Jeanne

[@BigH75]

What a great video Jay! I absolutely loved it. I just love the east coast living. You can't beat it.

[@Bruins8851]

Jay, such a blessing to get out there and experience all of that from cutting tree down to setting up the tent. Such skills they have to live off the land. Thank you for this Jay and so glad you got back home! Just watching and nothing being said was awesome!

[@2010gtoner]

You are a lucky likable man Jay from damp N Ireland

[@marianfrances4959]

We finally meet the legendary Jerry. That stove, with oven, is so awesome! Thanks for sharing Labrador! 👍🇨🇦😎🌲❄🔥 p.s. that tent tea-time remnded me of a Ted Harrison (Yukon) painting titled, "More tea, Hon?"

[@jolawil]

Glad to see you again! I hope everyone in your Family is doing well.

Never fails.....the accent comes back in a flash when you are home.

[@jaylegere]

It definitely do.

[@tomk8819]

Great video Jay ! well worth the wait. i would even pay to be out there experiencing a weekend like that.

[@staceyrenner5418]

The freshest air I have ever, and probably will ever, experienced was the two weeks I spent on our honeymoon in Churchill Falls. Had a headache for damn near three days because of it lol. It saddens me that my in-laws have since moved to Bay Roberts and that I may never experience such quiet and peacefulness again. I would love nothing more than for my wife to watch this video with me, but I also know that it will make her extremely homesick.

[@Huetteman1]

One of your best Jay. Get a little closer to that log and put your back into it!

[@jaylegere]

Those logs are huge! Ha

[@harmonysprogress]

Welcome back Jay! I too learned a lot from the great stove maker and his friends. The fellowship was sweet and went by way too fast. Are we going to be able to meet your mom? That would be great!
