I have experienced-37c while sleeping in a tent for a week in northern Sweden during my military service. Its brutal and quite dangerous. You have to constantly move and be aware of face, feet and hands to check for numbness. Once it’s getting numb it’s quite difficult to get it warm again. My toes are still very sensitive to cold due to this exposure 30 years ago.
As a Russian, I'm really proud our products reach US/Canadian markets. You don't see it very often. The tent looks really heavy duty, and it is also pretty pricey. Me personally, I was brought up in hiking camping culture, which means small tent, good sleeping bag and no stove. Seeing someone using fire inside a tent still looks very exotic to me. Ah, what I'd give to camp in a Canadian or Alaskan winter for once...
In the military we put up camp in the middle of the night in -30C. That was an experience. The guy who had the first firewatch got the inside from -30 to +20 in an hour by splitting the wood into splinters and constantly feeding that into the stove. Bits were glowing. 🙂
Man I haven't enjoyed a video this much for a long time! It's so good to see you're happy and enjoying every second of your camping! Keep it up, you're amazing!!
@Wen Rarri - I sometimes wonder if the cold weather is not doing that -> the pure enjoyment to be in such environment! I've been in Finland at -30C (--22F), and I did enjoy it, the cold, the weather, the pretty much normal drive/walk to the local shops, and I could also see the Northern Lights! Suprisingly at some point in my life I was in Warsaw, more than 15+ years back, and it was -25C (-13F), and was on my way to work, using... a public transport. And all was good! In fact it was just another normal day, and everything was working just fine for everybody. And I'm not even talking about Alaska or Canada here. So definitely some countries, and people are much more prepared to that kind of weather or environment, even during normal day to day activities. Granted, once you go beyond -30-40C (-22-31F and lower) - this kind of cold is escalating very rapidly, and is becoming more and more dangerous. I wonder how this tent would do in places such as Oymyakon (I know, this is extreme example).
@@donblevins1181 - In my view, US is completely lacking any proper local infrastructure for walking to local shops, and any kind of sane public transport (in large cities, and small towns), which is quite good across the Europe, Eastern Europe included (with harsh winters included). In Finland even if it was -30C (-22F), I could walk to a local "main road", which took about 10 minutes, and from there another 10 minutes, to local shops, pubs and so on. Everything was functioning without any issues (just using the sidewalk along the main road from that point). And it was a smaller town. Cities, almost no issues in that weather either. If the sidewalk is covered in thin ice, the local councils are usually spreading a layer of sand on it. On the roads it is usually salt, with winter tires and chains in some cases. In the forests, outside of town, yeah - you have to use snow shoes, or snowmobile in some cases, as snow can be quite deep (even to your knees or beyond your waist level). And maybe an additional layer of clothes. My point being: for a lot of people, -25C or -30C (-13F and -22F) is quite normal during winter time, and of course children are learning how to cope with it since the early age. And they are also used to it. Hence, for a lot of people this is nothing that unusual.
I've regularly put up a tent in Canadian winter's on hidden side roads, driving across Canada rather than paying for a motel. When I have had to stay in a hotel I miss that tent so much. The bed in this video is very heavy, but super good. Love it. The alternative is the ultra light weight 6 pounder that is also very comfortable and keeps you that six inches off the ground. The 6 man tent above is really a luxury tent, and is a fantastic family possession.
The Russian Bear tent, really is the best bit of kit you could buy, there is no equivalent tent in the West that comes close to beating it, it is unbeatable! The Russians do build a heavy duty high quality item, you cant go wrong!
we learned our lessons the hard way. during soviet times our civilian camping equipment was... a bit lacking to say the least. and hard to obtain. and russia is a big country, ussr was even bigger. there are a lot of great spots for camping and tourism including siberian wilderness. so when we got access to cheap modern synthetic materials after the collapse of ussr we knew what we gotta do. advanced camping equipment for cold environments.

Just a little tip. Before before you head out next time clarify your butter at home. What burns is the milk solids, so if you remove through clarification, you have a much higher smoke point with just the fats. It also has a much longer shelf life if you're ever camping in hotter weather. It won't spoil. Great video, I really enjoyed it.
or you can buy what indians call ghee. You can get them anywhere nowadays including walmarts. Pack a scoop or two in ziplock bag and you can enjoy your outdoorsy time in cast iron with the food you love.
@@1tortillapls i know that. but if you go to Indian store and ask them clarified butter few will understand but if you ask them ghee they will point you to right place. Its not about category but brand like xerox instead of photocopy. hope you get that.
This is a very impressive tent! Much more tent than I would ever need (I hope), but fascinating to watch how it all goes together and all the features. If I were ever crazy enough to camp in such temperatures, this would definitely be the set up I'd want. That little net at the top of the dome was genius. Hot dogs and kraft dinner is comfort food. You've got all the things you need to keep warm and have energy in that pot!
Just stumbled upon this channel and even thought I have never been that interested in camping equipment, or camping in general for that matter, I still found myself greatly enjoying this. It's a really entertaining format you have going, and it's also really relaxing to watch and/or listen to.
Jay congratulations on the Russian Bear tent. They have been known to keep a few UA-camrs supplied and that is just good business all in all. I myself don't have one but I've seen all the UA-cam videos on them and I could honestly say that is probably one of the best tents on the market. Easy to set up, it does not get any easier than opening an umbrella every aspect of this tent is done for you ahead of time. I can't remember the name of the guy but he actually goes up in the mountains with all his friends overlanding every year and they are all Russian people here in the USA going up in the Colorado mountain side they have some pretty cool videos and definitely put those tents to a workout. Anyway Jay congratulations again I am so happy that you are getting to use that and you will definitely appreciate that tent. Thank you so much for sharing your content.
I usually run it for about 3 hours before I go to bed and build up a good bed of coals. Then throw 2 big logs in and close it to 1 set of holes showing. You can get about 5 hours out of it, (using hard wood). Personally I always keep two windows cracked about 8 inches of zipper along with the small vent located near the floor next to the stove. Great tent. Pretty beefy and they really thought of everything. I also purchased a larger welding mat for under the stove.
Congrats on your new Russian Bear UP5 hot tent👏👏👏 Tent comes with a door for easy access in and out. I have the same setup in the UP2 version with medium stove. Awesome tent. I added the vestibule with inner liner 2x3( 6 feet wide x 9 feet long,zips up to the tent) comes with a stove jack,add a small or medium stove for the vestibule if needed. You can store your Skidoo in the vestibule in extreme conditions. But your gonna have to extend your deck another 10 feet for the vestibule. Build a ramp to drive your Skidoo into the vestibule. Your Skidoo will stay nice and toasty...just a thought. The vestibule comes in handy for storing your wood,gear,Skidoo...ect. I use the small Danchel wood stove for the vestibule, does a great job keeping it warm...mind you, your gonna need alot of wood..haha! I've taken the tent out a few times ice fishing, the screw pegs secure the tent to the ice very well,not a problem. Your gonna have a great time in your new hot tent 👍Stay safe and healthy my friend 👊 💥 Happy New Year 🎊🎉🥳🎆🍻🥂
Its so amazing just a thin layer of fabric and that cute stove could keep you warm out in those harsh weather and temps. Thanks for sharing this video with us !!!
Been In -37c Temps regularly. Worst experience was in 2006. We drove into St. Paul for work. The engine gaskets blew out and the car died. No heating and it was a 92 Ford Tempo. That thing was drafty. The tow would be a 3 hour wait. Ended up walking onto 7th Street from 35E. The hill had a wind tunnel effect and that felt like -70 (felt like). We got to 7th and ducked into a business to warm up. That was 30 minutes I wont forget. Wouldn't camp in it.
I've gone camping a few times, one time My GF and I took a van to go camping so we could take some luxuries with us. We had a nice big tent, a gas stove, and a twin burner gas cooker. Even got the motorbike in the van so we could go out sight seeing on that.
I have the UP2 and a Winnerwell Woodlander stove with similar glass sides. Absolutely love the set up, but it's worth mentioning that this is NOT a budget set up. But when it comes to being warm, dry, and snug in the cold, it's worth every cent! There are also removeable panels in the floor for ice fishing! These guys have thought of everything!
I have UP5 and loving it. It’s very comfortable and not only in cold winter but autumn, late summer. Its so cozy when it’s cold outside and u get inside tent with stove. Takes a little bit practice to set up tent alone and operating stove, it can get very hot inside, u can actually use it like sauna with special add for stove.
As an Eagle Scout, I would've given half my sash away for a tent like this during a campout I had at Lake Casitas years ago. I remember it being -17F at night...
I've watched other people try this tent, and they all say the same thing--that it is a top-of-the-line tent. By far, this is my favorite tent as well. Perfect size, perfect stove, made for winter.
10 out 10 for setting the tent up in our cold Canadian winter ! That wood stove is a little beast and it has a nice size cooking surface I’m sure you’re going to have some good sleeps in there…just like being in a cocoon Looking forward to Bear Tent adventures .. take care..stay warm..and leave the window open a crack 🇨🇦 🌬 🔥
@@samspace81 No way!! Me and my girlfriend watch your videos! We come from the UK! She has a Pontiac Catalina and a Chevy Monte Carlo!! She's gonna be blown away when I tell her. We both very much like you too :)
That is one great tent, and the stove helps makes it so, imo. I was picturing a cast iron skillet on that bad boy but I know they're so heavy as not to be practical. I'll bet you had a nice sleep with a warm, full belly. Great video, it's good to see someone explaining things who is really enjoying what they're doing, as you obviously are.
As always Jay, thank you for the great content. I am living vicariously through you and your winter videos. It is almost 70f here in GA today. I love seeing what you have to share with us each time I get the notification. You are in the top 2 channels I crave for winter videos and you never fail to deliver. The tent looks amazing and the stove! I am sure the glass side helps with the ambiance of the camping experience. : ) I didn't know what to expect with the Russian Bear tent and rather than check it out, I waited for you to show us your setup. Not disappointed sir.
i'm surprised that the cot didn't break through the bottom of the tent since it has sharp square feet.. or maybe he will find out later that he punctured the floor
С Новым годом😀🎉🎉!,!! Дай Бог 😇🙏👼здоровья, крепкого Сибирского и тепла в нормальных условиях! Удачи на охоте, рыбалке, в путешествиях и борьбы с холодом! У нас сейчас на Дальнем Востоке в Хабаровске тоже -35° С, машины легковые и грузовые плохо заводятся и много снега! Всем здоровья !

We now have -35 ° C in the Far East in Khabarovsk, cars and trucks do not start well and there is a lot of snow! All health!"
I had a eye opening experience deer and elk hunting in 2020. Got to -20 and I was in a unheated pop up tent trailer. I slept under 2" of wool blankets in a $20 Walmart sleeping bag. Everything froze except my whiskey. My 7up burst inside the trailer and made a mess when it froze. But surprisingly I was nice and warm.
I really like that tent, and what a great job putting it through it's paces! The only thing that I would like to see is lighter colors for the inside walls. Just my personal taste that tents feel much less claustrophobic if they are more lightly colored.
Wow, Jay, looks cozy and warm! Great tent to have where you are! Can’t wait to enjoy all the future videos with the new tent! ❤️Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !
My friends and I bought a tent of this series (only the largest - UP7) and went hunting. What can I say - there is enough space for three. The folding rigid door is very convenient. Also, during the night storm, the tent was turned over by the wind (we were too lazy to fix all the tripwires, for which we were punished by nature). Thanks to the engineers who developed the oven - while we were trying to get out of the tent for three minutes in the dark, not a single coal fell out of the oven (by the way, we have an oven - like the author of this video). To summarize - the thing is super reliable, but do not be lazy to fasten on all the ropes.
Great Camp and tent demo. That Russian Bear tent is my dream tent and stove. I purchased a Kodiak Lodge 12×12 canvas tent. I only camp in the winter. I've had mjne out one time... waiting on fall and winter now. Oh, and my back to heal a bit better after a back fusion surgery in April of 2023. Thanks for the video 😊 ...Alan in 🇨🇱
Wow, that’s a great piece of equipment! Looks like you had no issue with the snowmobile starting in the cold! Which is great! Looking forward to the meals you will cook there and how you adjust to cooking on that stovetop! Thanks again Jay!
I purchased the UP5 last winter and took it out for a 2 week first time test camp in February in Southwest Washington State. It was a great set up for snow and wind and cold. Held up great but when we had a rainstorm for 3 days the tent did have leaking issues. It leaked at the jack area for the stove and it leaked on the very top into the tent dripping down. I love the tent and will use it for cold and snow but will have to test it again and try to see about fixing the water leakage in heavy rain. Just a heads up for anyone purchasing.
Hey jay I’m Steve, I’m new to your channel and I’ve been binge watching your episodes, haven’t found a bad one yet I’ve been loving them all. I wanna say when your cooking on the fire inside the tent you control the heat best by taking the pan on and off the stove, especially when melting butter and cheese. Anyways your meals always make me jealous they look amazing. Keep up the great work and fabulous content, looking forward to the next one
Wow. All looks great. You can always tell when a cold-weather product was made by people who would use it themselves. They won't require much, if any, fine motor skills. You can put them together with freezing hands and thick gloves. The wingnuts on the stove, big clips and the "umbrella" erector for the tent. In the frozen expanse you don't have time, daylight, or even all of your brain on your side. The work has got to be done quick and correct. Good craftsmanship will help you achieve that. Excellent work here. Thanks for putting yourself through this.
I’ve seen Andy from Kent survival and one of these and it was absolutely beautiful he had no problem putting it off and he had gotten a medium stove and heated the tent up awesomely. So I’m sure you’ll have a great time in it
Hi Jay I really enjoyed watching the video and the introduction of the products. It made me happy to see how comfortable it looked. Thanks for the description of all the equipment as well.
Just found ur channel and I love it!!! This was a very informative and learning video. I didn't even know this stuff existed, this is amazing...looking forward to watching more....
Thanks for uploading this video, man. I've wanted one of these tents for a couple years now and your review has sealed the deal for me. I'm in Minnesota and it gets down to -60°F here sometimes so I've been a little hesitant until your video. Thanks buddy!
I have recently found ur channel and I must say I have binge whatched almost everyone. I love how honest u are with this whole thing, your learning as u go and not tryin to make out like you know everything, it's so refreshing. Lookward to your new videos 🏴🏴
Whoa, never seen a Russian bear tent- how cool and that wood stove was so neat with the glass! Seeing your winter camping content hits the spot when I’m missing home so very much. Happy New Years, may your 2022 be safe and healthy to you and your family 🥳💕
Never been a fan of the stoves with glass. No matter how well constructed they are they have a bad habit of breaking though some include a metal piece to replace it if you don't want it (or if it breaks is my guess)
@@SilvaDreams That stove is just so good, you control the air flow means you control the rate of the wood burning inside so you can get as much heat as you want, its like your house thermostat and the tent is a fast setup so you wouldn't have to use much time outside in the extreme cold or be pressured time-wise, i don't know how long the glass lasts but the visibility is nice to know your wood inside.
@@SilvaDreams i've seen this stove in a video on another channel. a metal sideplate was included in the package if i remember correctly. specifically in case of glass breaking or if you just dont want any light to disturb you.
This is amazing. I love camping... Minus 30 is hard to imagine for me but hot dogs and kraft Mac n cheese take me back to a kid! Great video! I always enjoy your videos and appreciate the effort you put in. I'm in Indiana and we rarely get below 0 Fahrenheit but the peacefulness and the peace and quiet the winter provides is like a warm blanket that I can understand you enjoying.
You made a great choice! I have the up-2 tent and stove. I like the one person set-up and not a lot of poles to stick together. Although it is heavy to carry, I have a sled to pull it distances from the truck. The heavy duty bag could handle a drag or two, I see more people are getting this tent, it is the best tent ever and warm inside, actually gets hot above freezing temps. The double walls act as dead air space, no tent has that. Loving my Russia Bear, hope you enjoy your "other home" away from home.
Cabin camp is static but this one you can move to a different location such as rivers,mountains,lakes ,sea etc. We like to admire the scenery.Love this video and the gear you have are top-notch,
I'm too old for that now, but had I been young enough to still do those things, I'd bought it. Though I think you'll want to put it up somewhere where you'll get protection from strong winds, like in a forest.
Great features with this tent. I really like how user friendly it is and the insulating qualities. Good thing it isn't nylon with the heat generated. It would go well with my 8 by 10 canvas.
Beyond being informative this was just a really well put together video and the timelapse+music made it just so wholesome feeling as well as made me want to spend some time in this tent with a Kraft meal (including the hotdogs lol). Easy Sub!
I decided that all you cold weather guys use antifreeze instead of blood . It's was around 68° here in North Carolina today . What you do for content is simply amazing . The weather has gone crazy all over the world . Places being bombarded by snow, tornadoes and floods. I watch videos for information or what if. Just the weather will keep you prayed up .
@@BabycakesBeats what you mean. You can always choose where you want to live lol in the United States that is.. no one is forcing you to stay. You can save. Pack and go to better opportunities.
Longer videos will be coming for sure. I can't say the next one will be too long, but I do love making long vids and you can definitely expect some in the future
Watching this guy preparing his meal, somehow i related to this experience because i prep my meal similarly. This created tranquility in my soul cause i am from total different ethnic backround from the other side of the world....
I love the way he says “ouwt” and “abouwt”. 😂 He makes great use of the Russian Bear tent. It seems like they made this tent for people specifically like him. I love when a product is personal to me. Great video!
Waiting for someone to haul His whole house with 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, a kitchen with dining room and living room and recreational room and yard, porch, jacuzzi etc out there for camping.
Considering the tent is 2800.00 (5 person) which is the size you’d need if you moved into one, and another 900.00 for their tent, I’d say it would be about the same for a nice trailer.
To be able to set it up the first time in harsh conditions with a setting light is a testament to the well thought out construction of the Russian Bear tent. Congratulations to them, and to you!
🌸 that tent is amazing quality, the stove is my favourite. However what I love the most is how well it blends in with nature Not neon colours sticking out like sore thumb, any wild animals will walk on by and not think about exploring it lol
Another great endorsement for these Russian Bear tents, they look really well thought out and very practical on lots of ways. Looks like you had a lot of fun exploring the set up Jay, have a great New Year fella and look forward to the adventures in 2022.
may look in to a cast iron trivet to help control heat on the stove. i use one that i made from scrap metal when cooking on my wood stove. great video!!

Alone is the keyword, if you can take turns sleeping taking care of the heat source its quite lifeable

I added the vestibule with inner liner 2x3( 6 feet wide x 9 feet long,zips up to the tent) comes with a stove jack,add a small or medium stove for the vestibule if needed. You can store your Skidoo in the vestibule in extreme conditions. But your gonna have to extend your deck another 10 feet for the vestibule. Build a ramp to drive your Skidoo into the vestibule. Your Skidoo will stay nice and toasty...just a thought. The vestibule comes in handy for storing your wood,gear,Skidoo...ect. I use the small Danchel wood stove for the vestibule, does a great job keeping it warm...mind you, your gonna need alot of wood..haha! I've taken the tent out a few times ice fishing, the screw pegs secure the tent to the ice very well,not a problem. Your gonna have a great time in your new hot tent 👍Stay safe and healthy my friend 👊 💥 Happy New Year 🎊🎉🥳🎆🍻🥂
Its so amazing just a thin layer of fabric and that cute stove could keep you warm out in those harsh weather and temps. Thanks for sharing this video with us !!!
💝
Been In -37c Temps regularly. Worst experience was in 2006. We drove into St. Paul for work. The engine gaskets blew out and the car died. No heating and it was a 92 Ford Tempo. That thing was drafty. The tow would be a 3 hour wait. Ended up walking onto 7th Street from 35E. The hill had a wind tunnel effect and that felt like -70 (felt like). We got to 7th and ducked into a business to warm up. That was 30 minutes I wont forget. Wouldn't camp in it.
I've gone camping a few times, one time My GF and I took a van to go camping so we could take some luxuries with us. We had a nice big tent, a gas stove, and a twin burner gas cooker. Even got the motorbike in the van so we could go out sight seeing on that.
I have the UP2 and a Winnerwell Woodlander stove with similar glass sides. Absolutely love the set up, but it's worth mentioning that this is NOT a budget set up. But when it comes to being warm, dry, and snug in the cold, it's worth every cent! There are also removeable panels in the floor for ice fishing! These guys have thought of everything!
If you've never enjoyed food like he just did...you are missing out 🥰 that level of contentment and appreciation for the little things.
I have UP5 and loving it. It’s very comfortable and not only in cold winter but autumn, late summer. Its so cozy when it’s cold outside and u get inside tent with stove. Takes a little bit practice to set up tent alone and operating stove, it can get very hot inside, u can actually use it like sauna with special add for stove.
As an Eagle Scout, I would've given half my sash away for a tent like this during a campout I had at Lake Casitas years ago. I remember it being -17F at night...
I’d give my sash away for a fruit rollup right now
I've watched other people try this tent, and they all say the same thing--that it is a top-of-the-line tent. By far, this is my favorite tent as well. Perfect size, perfect stove, made for winter.
10 out 10 for setting the tent up in our cold Canadian winter !
That wood stove is a little beast and it has a nice size cooking surface
I’m sure you’re going to have some good sleeps in there…just like being in a cocoon
Looking forward to Bear Tent adventures ..
take care..stay warm..and leave the window open a crack 🇨🇦 🌬 🔥
Literally all I watch on UA-cam is classic cars, but this was just another level of informative and entertaining! Absolutely brilliant video mate
I like you! lol :)
@@samspace81 No way!! Me and my girlfriend watch your videos! We come from the UK! She has a Pontiac Catalina and a Chevy Monte Carlo!! She's gonna be blown away when I tell her. We both very much like you too :)
That is one great tent, and the stove helps makes it so, imo. I was picturing a cast iron skillet on that bad boy but I know they're so heavy as not to be practical. I'll bet you had a nice sleep with a warm, full belly. Great video, it's good to see someone explaining things who is really enjoying what they're doing, as you obviously are.
As always Jay, thank you for the great content. I am living vicariously through you and your winter videos. It is almost 70f here in GA today. I love seeing what you have to share with us each time I get the notification. You are in the top 2 channels I crave for winter videos and you never fail to deliver. The tent looks amazing and the stove! I am sure the glass side helps with the ambiance of the camping experience. : ) I didn't know what to expect with the Russian Bear tent and rather than check it out, I waited for you to show us your setup. Not disappointed sir.
Nice
i'm surprised that the cot didn't break through the bottom of the tent since it has sharp square feet.. or maybe he will find out later that he punctured the floor
@Forest brothers Than make own presentation - video, dont exploite.
❤️
С Новым годом😀🎉🎉!,!! Дай Бог 😇🙏👼здоровья, крепкого Сибирского и тепла в нормальных условиях! Удачи на охоте, рыбалке, в путешествиях и борьбы с холодом! У нас сейчас на Дальнем Востоке в Хабаровске тоже -35° С, машины легковые и грузовые плохо заводятся и много снега! Всем здоровья !
This means hello in Russia for all the english speakers out there
@@stevenx399 no it's not...but good sense of humor, haha
@@eddobond76 the meaning is conveyed correctly
I google translate for you curious guys: "Happy New Year😀🎉🎉!! God bless 😇🙏👼health, strong Siberian and warmth in normal conditions! Good luck hunting, fishing, traveling and fighting the cold! We now have -35 ° C in the Far East in Khabarovsk, cars and trucks do not start well and there is a lot of snow! All health!"
Same in Kamchatka and in Alaska
I had a eye opening experience deer and elk hunting in 2020. Got to -20 and I was in a unheated pop up tent trailer. I slept under 2" of wool blankets in a $20 Walmart sleeping bag. Everything froze except my whiskey. My 7up burst inside the trailer and made a mess when it froze. But surprisingly I was nice and warm.
I really like that tent, and what a great job putting it through it's paces! The only thing that I would like to see is lighter colors for the inside walls. Just my personal taste that tents feel much less claustrophobic if they are more lightly colored.
❤️
Excellent idea!
Wow, Jay, looks cozy and warm! Great tent to have where you are! Can’t wait to enjoy all the future videos with the new tent! ❤️Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !
❤️
My friends and I bought a tent of this series (only the largest - UP7) and went hunting. What can I say - there is enough space for three. The folding rigid door is very convenient.
Also, during the night storm, the tent was turned over by the wind (we were too lazy to fix all the tripwires, for which we were punished by nature). Thanks to the engineers who developed the oven - while we were trying to get out of the tent for three minutes in the dark, not a single coal fell out of the oven (by the way, we have an oven - like the author of this video).
To summarize - the thing is super reliable, but do not be lazy to fasten on all the ropes.
Yeah, you always learn the hard way to put out all your guy lines. Been there, done that, went for a little ride.
hello
@@Hongtham02204 Hi.
Great Camp and tent demo. That Russian Bear tent is my dream tent and stove. I purchased a Kodiak Lodge 12×12 canvas tent. I only camp in the winter. I've had mjne out one time... waiting on fall and winter now. Oh, and my back to heal a bit better after a back fusion surgery in April of 2023. Thanks for the video 😊 ...Alan in 🇨🇱
Hi there, wow that's a nice tent, and stove...good to know it worked in that temperature. Thank You for sharing...Be Well
Finally the Russian Bear tent!
So happy for you Jay! this is all coming together it just shows what people can do when you go out and do it!!!
Wow, that’s a great piece of equipment! Looks like you had no issue with the snowmobile starting in the cold! Which is great! Looking forward to the meals you will cook there and how you adjust to cooking on that stovetop! Thanks again Jay!
❤️❣
I purchased the UP5 last winter and took it out for a 2 week first time test camp in February in Southwest Washington State. It was a great set up for snow and wind and cold. Held up great but when we had a rainstorm for 3 days the tent did have leaking issues. It leaked at the jack area for the stove and it leaked on the very top into the tent dripping down. I love the tent and will use it for cold and snow but will have to test it again and try to see about fixing the water leakage in heavy rain. Just a heads up for anyone purchasing.
You have very nice sound quality, I love the crunch of the snow as you walk around!
Hey jay I’m Steve, I’m new to your channel and I’ve been binge watching your episodes, haven’t found a bad one yet I’ve been loving them all. I wanna say when your cooking on the fire inside the tent you control the heat best by taking the pan on and off the stove, especially when melting butter and cheese. Anyways your meals always make me jealous they look amazing. Keep up the great work and fabulous content, looking forward to the next one
Thank you Jay for sharing this experience with us, I was really looking forward to seeing the Russian Bear Tent.
Wow. All looks great. You can always tell when a cold-weather product was made by people who would use it themselves. They won't require much, if any, fine motor skills. You can put them together with freezing hands and thick gloves. The wingnuts on the stove, big clips and the "umbrella" erector for the tent. In the frozen expanse you don't have time, daylight, or even all of your brain on your side. The work has got to be done quick and correct. Good craftsmanship will help you achieve that. Excellent work here. Thanks for putting yourself through this.
I’ve seen Andy from Kent survival and one of these and it was absolutely beautiful he had no problem putting it off and he had gotten a medium stove and heated the tent up awesomely. So I’m sure you’ll have a great time in it
That's a fantastic setup Jay. I can't lie, I'm a little bit green with envy here, both with the conditions and the setup. That stove is a beast.
Awesome stove yup!
Hi Jay I really enjoyed watching the video and the introduction of the products. It made me happy to see how comfortable it looked. Thanks for the description of all the equipment as well.
❤️
Just found ur channel and I love it!!! This was a very informative and learning video. I didn't even know this stuff existed, this is amazing...looking forward to watching more....
Thanks so much!!
❤️
Thanks for uploading this video, man. I've wanted one of these tents for a couple years now and your review has sealed the deal for me. I'm in Minnesota and it gets down to -60°F here sometimes so I've been a little hesitant until your video. Thanks buddy!
Great Job Jay. Was just as excited as you to see this tent! Congrats and enjoy to the fullest. Cant wait to see new videos from new site!
Jay, tent looked awesome so happy for you and your channel!
The best, most complet little portable cabin, i have ever seen, smartly put toghter...
watched this before bed was the best idea felt all cozy appreciate the upload
I have recently found ur channel and I must say I have binge whatched almost everyone. I love how honest u are with this whole thing, your learning as u go and not tryin to make out like you know everything, it's so refreshing. Lookward to your new videos 🏴🏴
Such a well made tent. A lot of thought went into it. I’m jealous lol. That temperature was a real test As always excellent video
This video inspired me to get more outdoorsy. Gonna start saving for some real equipment and take some solo adventures of my own.
❤️
Hi Jay i am diggin the bear tent as well as your videos. Keep up the good work! I love your videos.
Thanks so much!
When snow sounds crunchy like that, you know it’s cold.
I was coming to say this. I've been in this kind of cold when in the Finnish army.
Congrats on the new tent, you totally deserved it! The tent looks really amazing, and the quality is obvious!
Appreciation of the simple pleasure at the end when the path is difficult.
The snow making that crunchy sound is what does it for me
Love the new tent Jay! Looking forward to all the new videos in the future! Enjoy! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you Jay!
Living up north you can always telll how cold it is by the sound of the snow when you step on it
❤️
Oh I remember that squeaky snow in the bitter cold of northern Canada.... yup. Brings back memories...
I don't care who you are or how rich you are this trip and that meal look legit ☺️ thank you for your time and energy
Whoa, never seen a Russian bear tent- how cool and that wood stove was so neat with the glass! Seeing your winter camping content hits the spot when I’m missing home so very much. Happy New Years, may your 2022 be safe and healthy to you and your family 🥳💕
Never been a fan of the stoves with glass. No matter how well constructed they are they have a bad habit of breaking though some include a metal piece to replace it if you don't want it (or if it breaks is my guess)
Happy new year if I buy one will you camp w me ;) awesomeness
@@SilvaDreams That stove is just so good, you control the air flow means you control the rate of the wood burning inside so you can get as much heat as you want, its like your house thermostat and the tent is a fast setup so you wouldn't have to use much time outside in the extreme cold or be pressured time-wise, i don't know how long the glass lasts but the visibility is nice to know your wood inside.
@@SilvaDreams i've seen this stove in a video on another channel. a metal sideplate was included in the package if i remember correctly. specifically in case of glass breaking or if you just dont want any light to disturb you.
❤️
Wow what a great tent this is gonna be great for new overnights. That stove looks like it is a beast.
❤️
You just got a new sub! I saw this on my recommended and its safe to say im ready for MORE!!
great video man. I loved every minute of this and 100% agree with your KD preferences!!
This is amazing. I love camping... Minus 30 is hard to imagine for me but hot dogs and kraft Mac n cheese take me back to a kid! Great video! I always enjoy your videos and appreciate the effort you put in. I'm in Indiana and we rarely get below 0 Fahrenheit but the peacefulness and the peace and quiet the winter provides is like a warm blanket that I can understand you enjoying.
❤️
You made a great choice! I have the up-2 tent and stove. I like the one person set-up and not a lot of poles to stick together. Although it is heavy to carry, I have a sled to pull it distances from the truck. The heavy duty bag could handle a drag or two, I see more people are getting this tent, it is the best tent ever and warm inside, actually gets hot above freezing temps. The double walls act as dead air space, no tent has that. Loving my Russia Bear, hope you enjoy your "other home" away from home.
So glad you like your tent. They are definitely worth the investment.
That stove is utterly amazing. Not cheap by far, but damn cool and useful.
Love the hot dog idea, gunna have to give it a try. I normally put tuna fish in mine, a childhood nostalgic thing.
Cabin camp is static but this one you can move to a different location such as rivers,mountains,lakes ,sea etc. We like to admire the scenery.Love this video and the gear you have are top-notch,
Watching this, the tent the weather, I'm just loving it all. Best wishes for the new year!
I'm too old for that now, but had I been young enough to still do those things, I'd bought it. Though I think you'll want to put it up somewhere where you'll get protection from strong winds, like in a forest.
oh my gosh it msut be so comfy sleeping in a warm tent like this!!
Great features with this tent. I really like how user friendly it is and the insulating qualities. Good thing it isn't nylon with the heat generated. It would go well with my 8 by 10 canvas.
❤️
#BADASS tent man! Congrats on the Russian Bear Tent, Jay. Happy New Year!
Thanks, Brian! It's a good tent that is for sure. Not sure it can last as long as your bighorn. That tent has been unbelievably reliable.
@@jaylegere where can I get the tent at and the stove and other equipment you have in the video here because I want to buy the tent and the stove
@@harrybobb6764 hi! You can go to the links I've put in the description of the video. If you use my discount code you will get 5% off! Good luck.
@@jaylegere Should've brought a thermometer to show the temp inside the tent
your a great guy but, you talk to much in the time you take to bullshit your wasting time
Beyond being informative this was just a really well put together video and the timelapse+music made it just so wholesome feeling as well as made me want to spend some time in this tent with a Kraft meal (including the hotdogs lol). Easy Sub!
Thanks so much!!
I hate camping.. I don't even like outdoors, but here I am watching the video start t finish.. Nice vid man.
I decided that all you cold weather guys use antifreeze instead of blood . It's was around 68° here in North Carolina today . What you do for content is simply amazing . The weather has gone crazy all over the world . Places being bombarded by snow, tornadoes and floods. I watch videos for information or what if. Just the weather will keep you prayed up .
-28C - I get upset when I get up in the morning and it's 60 F. Utmost respect for the people that live this kind of life willingly.
People who live in this kind of environment usually don't get to choose. :)
@@BabycakesBeats what you mean. You can always choose where you want to live lol in the United States that is.. no one is forcing you to stay. You can save. Pack and go to better opportunities.
You seem to have everything under control kudos to I'm happy for you 😊
I used this tent in Siberia. -25 for a week and I was extremely comfortable. I brought one to bring back to the Uk. Best tent I’ve ever used
I could live in that all year long! What a great set-up! Wow! Hey, Jay, is there any way that you could start doing longer videos, please? Thank you!
Longer videos will be coming for sure. I can't say the next one will be too long, but I do love making long vids and you can definitely expect some in the future
@Forest brothers I'm a new subscriber to your channel! You are 2 very awesome young people! Everyone needs to check out your channel! Good for you!
With a recliner chair next to the stove to sleep in I could too.
For extended winter camping stoves aren't optional, they become the only way you can get accumulative moisture out of your clothing.
Watching this guy preparing his meal, somehow i related to this experience because i prep my meal similarly. This created tranquility in my soul cause i am from total different ethnic backround from the other side of the world....
Thanks for providing links to all your gear. I was impressed with both the tent and stove
❤️
I love the way he says “ouwt” and “abouwt”. 😂 He makes great use of the Russian Bear tent. It seems like they made this tent for people specifically like him. I love when a product is personal to me. Great video!
We would say in scotland ...oot n aboot 😉
❤️
Waiting for someone to haul His whole house with 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, a kitchen with dining room and living room and recreational room and yard, porch, jacuzzi etc out there for camping.
?
wat ??
Considering the tent is 2800.00 (5 person) which is the size you’d need if you moved into one, and another 900.00 for their tent, I’d say it would be about the same for a nice trailer.
Do you think your doing something with this comment?......
Camping doesnt need to be about survival , its about enjoying the experience , lol stfu
Wow I never even knew there are tents like this , impressive 👌
Winter camping is the best form of camping and hot dogs and mac and cheese is a match made in culinary heaven
I just discovered your channel, absolutely love it.. You just give that good vibe I can't describe. You got a new subscriber, good luck :)!
To be able to set it up the first time in harsh conditions with a setting light is a testament to the well thought out construction of the Russian Bear tent. Congratulations to them, and to you!
🌸 that tent is amazing quality, the stove is my favourite. However what I love the most is how well it blends in with nature
Not neon colours sticking out like sore thumb, any wild animals will walk on by and not think about exploring it lol
Wow quality kit good stuff is what you need out there great video mate 👍
Congratulations on the land coming together and the acquisition of this tent and stove. They are very reputable.
Thanks Mobile!
Another great endorsement for these Russian Bear tents, they look really well thought out and very practical on lots of ways. Looks like you had a lot of fun exploring the set up Jay, have a great New Year fella and look forward to the adventures in 2022.
@Forest brothers stop spamming!
@Forest brothers correct.
may look in to a cast iron trivet to help control heat on the stove. i use one that i made from scrap metal when cooking on my wood stove. great video!!
Oh to be warm and comfy on a cold night in a tent makes for a good night's sleep nothing better. Thanks for the video it's great....
