Most don't understand challenging yourself. The last chance in our modern world where you can truly depend on yourself and your own knowledge. Enjoyed it and love the tent.
Someone once said that to be truly content, it isn't about piles of wealth or fancy homes. It's being able to see discomfort from where you currently are, and being satisfied with the good fortune you currently have. Contentment comes when you're looking out through the window at a storm, you can hear the wind & rain, feel the cold chill seeping through the glass, yet you're warm & dry, wrapped up in a quilt. ...Or in your case, you literally hiked through it, you can still hear & see & feel it, but you're warm & dry in your wood-framed tent.
I used to have an old poster hanging in the den. It showed a backpacker standing on the edge of a cliff overlooking a beautiful forest. Underneath it read "You won't know if you don't go". Sometimes you just got to get out and go. Thanks for sharing the reality of owning a remote property. Best Regards
I think the other campers wish they had that tent at times . Jay you got this and it s better to be warm then cold . And you got a lot to do around the tent at times more then you want just getting wood in the snow it can be a battle and the freezing rain. Thank you for sharing your videos with us. Think Take that minute to Stay safe Aways . Hugs from far away.
Wow, what a exciting trip. I’m in shock mode when you cross that lake and just knowing you got to take the trip back makes me shiver. I always enjoyed camping in windy rainy weather especially with a good cup of coffee. Great video, thanks. 😀👍
This video was intense ! You really had to watch your every step, especially on the lake.😬 Now you’ve got us worried about your return home. I guess we will know when you post an other video. Xander does not have kids who depend on him, so he can afford the extreme, You have your girls who want their dad home safely. Thanks for a great video though!
Hey Jay I love Steve Wallis but I love you too!!! You both bring a different adventure into my life!! Never compare your self to anyone!! You are YOUand we loving watching you for that🤗😘
@@jaylegere Man, that was a pretty crazy night. I was impressed the Big Horn did such a great job...once I realized it was good to go, I decided to make a sandwich over the stove at 3am! Looking forward to getting back out this coming winter. Have a good week, Jay!
Lol, when I was a high schooler (40+ years ago) I appreciated being on the school bus during windy rain storms. Nothing like the feeling of being safe and warm while everything was out of control. Appreciate the video. I get it.
Love that sensation of being *in* the weather. Wrapped up against the elements but just experiencing the full force of nature. Here I enjoy throwing on the waterproofs and walking along the coast during storms. Waves coming in so hard they're practically breaking on your head and there is you... standing there in the swirling maelstrom, able to be alone with your thoughts with nothing but the roaring wind and rain for company.
Me too.I've been living off the grid for the past 4.5 years i n a tent in Connecticut, I like it, except in the summer when its hot and muggy. I prefer winter over summer 100%. I have a propane stove that I use for heat and cooking obviously. As long as you vent out properly and be extra careful its very safe regardless of what you hear about using propane stoves inside of tents.sure,the carbon monoxide will kill you if you don't vent the stove properly. Its all about being smart and careful.
Jay I admire you with your strength and courage. I know you know the lake and for me it take a lot of courage to do that. I love how you said got of the couch and you went for it. Looking forward to more adventures and watching you make more memories. Stay safe and till next time oh yes stay dry and warm!
I'm glad to see your tent held up with such bad weather, I have seen hail total a car so I was a bit worried about your tent. Alone is one of my favorite shows, I follow Joe Robinet, can't remember which season he was on. The fire going in the stove kept things toasty and your meal looked amazing. Your videos always bring something to the table to enjoy and again, thank you for sharing with us Jay. Blessings.
best camping video yet for me. Love the shelter and lots of time spent warming up and showing off the shelter. just love it. great looking meal that didn't take up three quarters of the video. looked like a great place to enjoy in rough weather. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
You scared the crap out of me going out on the ice like that! This means I've come to care for you like a close friend! Please take care of yourself out there! ❤
I was so concerned when you took the plunge, so to speak, and got out on that ice. Ice crossings are always dicey. Glad you made it. The snow and hail literally blowing sideways was a thrill to see. I'm a 72 yo female fulltime nomad traveling about in my truck camper with my dog and senior cat here in the States. I boondock instead of staying at campgrounds preferring the solitude. If you've ever followed Foresty Forest, also a Canadian, that is how I challenge myself, too, except he travels in a van and I have a camper on my truck. Although I love to hike I'm not able to hike like he does due to my age. But even so I manage to challenge myself. When you mentioned challenging yourself, that really hit home. Being out in all kinds of weather, covering new ground on mountain trails, fishing streams and lakes -- well, just breathing the fresh pine scented air makes me feel alive. I have a small woodstove in my camper and it is my greatest luxury. There is nothing like wood heat to warm one to the bone and dry out wet clothing after a hike in the rain or snow. Best ever. Propane just doesn't cut it -- too wet. Anyway, everything you said is true. More people should learn the safe ways of getting out in nature. Steve Wells and Foresty Forest are good teachers and you are too. 👌 Thank you for sharing your experiences. I hope more people will learn how to challenge themselves safely. Life is too short to sit in front of a TV. All the best to you.
I sleep the best when it's storming outside and I live along the Niagara River across from Canada so we truly experience the four seasons and all the unpredictable weather that comes with it...it's the feeling of being safe even though your in some nasty situations it's actually very romantic...give me a good dog a good women and a cold beer and a warm fire during a bad storm and I couldn't be happier! 😊
Stumbled upon this video and channel and I can absolutely say this is one of the most peaceful and adventurous. I live in Maine and I absolutely love all our seasons. Hoping I can get out more like you do!
I can think of plenty of other words for Crazy weather. Vile, rotten, horrendous. Can't get over how you chose to go out in that revolting wind. Hats off to you Jay. No weather worse than wet and windy. Well done. Video fantastic
I very much like this video Jay. Great commentary. I have always loved the sound of rain on the roof of a canvas tent! Keep up the good work - and stay warm.
Well Jay, I have to give you props on this video. You did a fine job and you persevered. That was miserable weather and I know that stove was a welcome sight going into the tent and even better with the fire. This trip proves that you have it in ya to live remote. I am unofficially proclaiming you "BUSHRAT Jay", Bushrat is a term used here in Alaska for 100's of years to those who live in remote areas and endure whatever comes at them. Thank you for sharing this trip with us.
Hi Jay !! I've been enjoying your videos ! Wanted to share a classic camping meal with you that is easy and healthy. Pita bread with cheddar cheese and fresh chopped onions. Add a sprinkle of garlic powder and salt and pepper and fold in half and wrapp with foil twice. Cook directly on wood stove or on camp fire grill till you feel it crisping up abit. 😎
Jay your a real trooper battling the elements to get to the tent for another memorable adventure. The surroundings sure look different with the snow missing but still amazing. Thanks for taking us along, I enjoyed your filming of the trip out and seeing the things you encounter on the way. Take care....
It is incredibly hard to survive in the challenging weather and thats what makes it more exciting but only for those who enjoy being in danger. God bless you. Take care.
Awesome, awesome video Jay. Was so great, I watched it twice. Almost more challenging than hard ass winter. Your lifeline is that tent and stove. An amazing adventure! Well done!
All sounds like a wonderful time! You always make me hungry with your tasty meals. That wind could easily break up that scary looking ice out there, but obviously you got home alright. Can't believe there seems to be less snow there than here in northern ontario! Great video as always, thanks Jay. MARLYS
Jay, I hear you - the struggle is worth it when you get to the comfort of the tent.. for me, similar - although my struggle is more by ATV - I've rode the trail in some pretty awful conditions, but the reward for me is getting the cabin/trailer all comfy - putting a fire on, getting the generator going, unpacking my stuff, grabbing a blanket, watching a movie, and eating some good food. Best way to spend a weekend in the forest alone. We're coming up to the start of our summer season - and they open the logging roads on Friday this week... we'll be able to drive my pickup to camp for the first time this year, and enjoy summer at the lake until hunting season comes, and then the off-road season starts mid November all over.
I really enjoyed that, Jay. I love wind, too. We had a lake house in South Dakota, and I loved bundling up in the chaise like a passenger on the deck of the Titanic, reading a book and drinking hot coffee in the cool crazy wind! Always ended napping on the porch, warm and happy as a clam. ;-)
You're doing great Jay, I've watched you for a long long time, sometimes I don't comment much when I'm watching whilst sick but I'll always try to come back and say something because I think it helps the channel when people, subscribe like, comment and also share. You also get to know your subscribers when you see them comment. You've really developed this channel. I have enjoyed watching you for years and it's gets better and better because you're authentic and just true to being who you are. You're funny, its always interesting to hear you talk. Oh and I'm the one who enjoys watching you eat after you prepare a meal. People do mukbangs all the time, I think that's what there called, so I like it when you cook and sit down to eat and chat with us. I like the story about how you developed the love for having a cabin and this tent is the closest thing you have to a cabin. I believe you'll get your land and you will build a cabin. You will do it, just continue doing what you're doing, your dream is very close and I'm here for it. Tell your step- dad I said thank you on your behalf for the stove, which is keeping you warm and you can cook on it too. Stay safe, we love you Jay ❤🙏
You know Jay that 30 pound Propane bottle 🍼 is now $85 at Costco. If you don't remove that plastic wrap it will rust real bad. I hope it isn't too late to save it. I remember walking into my camp in my younger days. I walked thru chest deep water and then another 45 min to camp. I was happy to get fhere after walking 3 or 4 hours. My dad was already there and a warm camp is a saviour.
Wow, awesome trip Jay . Extremely enjoyable brother . Keep yourself safe out there and stay aware . Awesome fire and food , next level buddy !! I felt like I was there with you. Vids keep getting better and better 👍🦾
looks awesome your trail. The winter does not give up easy. Say you did get snow with the storm. Yikes is a good word as you panic at the picnic! Be safe good man. Warm here in uk for T shirts
That was a scary walk on the lake. Even though I know you made it across it was still intense! The thing about your channel is that you have a comfortable tent but it’s still camping. We get to virtually camp with you,load up the wood stove ,watch you cook some great meals..and much more You’re also in a part of Canada that most of us haven’t been to and we get to see all its beauty! Until you can paddle across the lake..take care 🇨🇦❤️
This reminds me of when I camped out in the Mt. Hood National Forest. went to bed and the weather was perfect. I woke up and looked outside my tent and there was two feet of snow.
You were either incredibly brave or incredibly stupid crossing that ice. I like to think it was the former, that you used good judgment based on experience. If done on a guess/hunch, then it might be the later. In any case, we’re all glad you made it back to the tent safe and sound. Look forward to more great content. It keeps me coming back for more “Jay’s Journeys”.
Really... depends on the time of year. Although it looks sketchy, there's still lots of ice in the spring. Early winter is when I don't trust ice conditions. Snow cover presents slush and thin ice. I've fallen through places that looked solid on the surface. It's not for everyone. Lol
Hello jay, oh my goodness I can not believe you did that journey, you are truly amazing just love your videos and your cooking skills, sat here watching you cook your supper out side in the freezing cold 🥶 just you stay safe and tread carefully love and best wishes sue and andy xxx❤️❤️👵🏻👴🏻🇬🇧🏴
amazing I have been in some serious storms in UK in caravans and my saying was always 'you know you are dry', there is something about having just canvas or aluminium between you and a raging storm so you can hear and feel it. Great vid really enjoyed it.
Great trip and challenging adventure for yourself there Jay. Getting on the ice had me concerned. Great video as always, thanks for taking us along for the adventure Jay.
Funnily enough Jay, I’ve been watching a lot of videos where people are camping in the rain/storms the last few days, so you can imagine my excitement when I saw that you uploaded a similar video. I agree that it really is a peaceful feeling being inside a solid and safe structure while they works outside is so dangerous and loud. Towards the start of the video where you said to the camera “I need to focus on getting to the tent”, when you recorded yourself walking across the ice I remember audibly saying “Jay I get that you want the cool shots but cmon man go!” Haha. Regardless, it was a phenomenal video and given I’ve been subscribed since the winter and when you did all of those, I’m super excited to see what all you get up to in the warmer months and how much the routine changes. I’m looking forward to the next video! Until next time!
New Sub. Love your channel brother. Very relaxing and peaceful out in the best place on Earth... Mother Nature! This world would be a better place if everyone could just get outside and do exactly this, and re-charge your positive energy... Thanks for sharing your videos brother, keep up the great work!
Oh wow Jay, no way would I take a chance and go out on that ice. It’s to cold for a swim. You just never know. You know that old saying… better safe than sorry. I enjoy your videos and I would hate to have something happen to you. Please stay safe. 💦❄️🙋🏻♀️💕🙏
Hey Jay. I like watching Xander and Steve but I like watching your videos too because your videos are different to others. I'm sure others will agree that your videos are just as good as other people's videos. Glad you made it across the ice by the way.
Wow! You really took a chance between the weather and the thinning ice on the lake. On the other hand, I love the sound of rain on a tent, so soothing. The issue of water coming into the tent on the wood floor isn't a good thing.
Jay love your videos !!! You should have more videos of the hike in and the hike out. It was very exciting your hike into camp. Me and mrs loved it. It was an adventure itself. Keep up the great videos and great food. Take care and all the best.
Trade those pac boots in for some tall rubber boots/ Muck Boots or LaCrosse rubber boots. You won’t be disappointed! Love this video! Glad you’re safe!
Good spring trip Jay! Been camping several times this spring and headed to the Allagash Wilderness Waterway tomorrow for a week with good friends. Nothing like being in the wilds. Always enjoy accompanying you on your cabin trips. Thanks for another great video!
Wow, I'm surprised you took that risk on the ice. Every year up there, there were (are) stories of people going through the ice and not being found for months. You have family, and it's just not worth it. People that survive say "We thought it was safe" for better ice than that. Paper plates and cups for emergencies my friend, when you're done they burn.
i know these are in the past but watching you jay, i worry sometimes, u take lots of chances. that ice walk was nuts. i guess it was worth it to check on your tent. a bit damp but it still looks great. again thanks for sharing. ps definitely worth the trip for those lamb chops 😊
It’s time seeing your video. What I liked about it, is that you talked about your adventure. Thank you for a superb video
Most don't understand challenging yourself. The last chance in our modern world where you can truly depend on yourself and your own knowledge. Enjoyed it and love the tent.
Great adventure and thanks for taking me !

Great trip. Sometimes challenging yourself is what the body and mind needs. Thanks for sharing. Take care and stay safe.
That was quite the adventure and one for the books. ✌️💯
Thanks Dave. I won't forget this one.
This video was intense ! You really had to watch your every step, especially on the lake.😬
Now you’ve got us worried about your return home.
I guess we will know when you post an other video.
Xander does not have kids who depend on him, so he can afford the extreme,
You have your girls who want their dad home safely.
Thanks for a great video though!
UPNORTHOF60......where have you been? I unsubbed to your channel because you never upload anything anymore!
@@AsIseeitPattiDail l miss Dave too!
@@fayepotts3279 Yea...I do miss him!
Hey Jay I love Steve Wallis but I love you too!!! You both bring a different adventure into my life!! Never compare your self to anyone!! You are YOUand we loving watching you for that🤗😘
Man, there's nothing quite like being out there when these insane winds whip up!!
You bet. Still nothing like that gnarly night you had in the bighorn!
@@jaylegere Man, that was a pretty crazy night. I was impressed the Big Horn did such a great job...once I realized it was good to go, I decided to make a sandwich over the stove at 3am! Looking forward to getting back out this coming winter. Have a good week, Jay!
Wow! What a challenge for you! Crazy conditions, be safe and thanks for bringing us along!👍🌨️🤓
I live in northern Maine, USA, and I live for storms like this one! Love them! There is a fantastic feeling of being alive! Great video. Thanks.
Lol, when I was a high schooler (40+ years ago) I appreciated being on the school bus during windy rain storms. Nothing like the feeling of being safe and warm while everything was out of control. Appreciate the video. I get it.
Love that sensation of being *in* the weather. Wrapped up against the elements but just experiencing the full force of nature.
Here I enjoy throwing on the waterproofs and walking along the coast during storms. Waves coming in so hard they're practically breaking on your head and there is you... standing there in the swirling maelstrom, able to be alone with your thoughts with nothing but the roaring wind and rain for company.
lovely description!
Me too.I've been living off the grid for the past 4.5 years i n a tent in Connecticut, I like it, except in the summer when its hot and muggy. I prefer winter over summer 100%. I have a propane stove that I use for heat and cooking obviously. As long as you vent out properly and be extra careful its very safe regardless of what you hear about using propane stoves inside of tents.sure,the carbon monoxide will kill you if you don't vent the stove properly.

This was great! You scared the heck out of us walking across that sketchy ice...but you did it...yay for Jay!!
It was definitely sketchy getting on.
Hey Jay...all that and bears to worry about too. Serious and a reminder that loving Nature is one thing and a healthy respect is the other. Kudos!
You scared the crap out of me going out on the ice like that! This means I've come to care for you like a close friend! Please take care of yourself out there! ❤
Wow, it looks so different without 10 feet of snow covering the ground...lol. Wild weather for sure. Thanks. Stay safe!

Great watching you in the wilderness before l go to my cosy bed. You make fantastic videos. Take care. 🇬🇧

Thanks for all the great adventures Jay, it's one of my favorite channels to watch. Hope to make it up to that part of the world one day.
Talk about walking on thin ice whooo boy. Take it easy jay, hi from new mexico we ain't new and we ain't mexico. God bless you.
Woah, that ice looked a little sketchy from shore, until you were out on it - then it looked pretty solid. Great video, thanks for sharing the fun!
Jay, what an amazing video...I felt as if i was there with ya treking across the ice. Thanks for making it out there, its great to see !
Thanks Nick.
@@jaylegere holy moly Jay that’s the quickest reply I’ve ever seen! You are welcome good sir !!

It keeps me coming back for more “Jay’s Journeys”.
Really... depends on the time of year. Although it looks sketchy, there's still lots of ice in the spring.
Early winter is when I don't trust ice conditions. Snow cover presents slush and thin ice. I've fallen through places that looked solid on the surface. It's not for everyone. Lol
Hello jay, oh my goodness I can not believe you did that journey, you are truly amazing just love your videos and your cooking skills, sat here watching you cook your supper out side in the freezing cold 🥶 just you stay safe and tread carefully love and best wishes sue and andy xxx❤️❤️👵🏻👴🏻🇬🇧🏴
Thanks so much Sue. Always great to hear from you.
Hi jay love your camp and the food delicious very cosy and warm in the tent
Just a beautiful video i enjoy it i could pic myself there with all that cold breeze 🥰🥰🥰💚🙏🏼
amazing I have been in some serious storms in UK in caravans and my saying was always 'you know you are dry', there is something about having just canvas or aluminium between you and a raging storm so you can hear and feel it. Great vid really enjoyed it.
the area looks so different without snow 😲 amazing.
Phenomenal adventure and glad you stayed safe. The food looks delicious and thank you for this awesome video!
In this video show about beautiful nature 🌻🌻🌻 I would like say I love this video 😍
Thank you Jay, for an incredible video. Stay safe out there - See you soon 😊💫
Great trip and challenging adventure for yourself there Jay. Getting on the ice had me concerned. Great video as always, thanks for taking us along for the adventure Jay.
I definitely didn't want to go in the drink. I felt secure as soon as both feet were on.
@@jaylegere As a ice fisherman I know that the edges and around rocks are not safe. Always enjoy you adventures. Thanks
Funnily enough Jay, I’ve been watching a lot of videos where people are camping in the rain/storms the last few days, so you can imagine my excitement when I saw that you uploaded a similar video. I agree that it really is a peaceful feeling being inside a solid and safe structure while they works outside is so dangerous and loud. Towards the start of the video where you said to the camera “I need to focus on getting to the tent”, when you recorded yourself walking across the ice I remember audibly saying “Jay I get that you want the cool shots but cmon man go!” Haha. Regardless, it was a phenomenal video and given I’ve been subscribed since the winter and when you did all of those, I’m super excited to see what all you get up to in the warmer months and how much the routine changes. I’m looking forward to the next video! Until next time!
I'm glad you made it. I hope you make it back it is bad out there glad to see you again be careful out there.🙃😉😉😏😏😉😉🎈🎈🎉
New Sub. Love your channel brother. Very relaxing and peaceful out in the best place on Earth... Mother Nature! This world would be a better place if everyone could just get outside and do exactly this, and re-charge your positive energy... Thanks for sharing your videos brother, keep up the great work!
Thanks Sooner!
Oh wow Jay, no way would I take a chance and go out on that ice. It’s to cold for a swim. You just never know. You know that old saying… better safe than sorry. I enjoy your videos and I would hate to have something happen to you. Please stay safe. 💦❄️🙋🏻♀️💕🙏
Better and better everytime we watch. Awesome job,do your thing jay😮
Thanks so much
Hey Jay. I like watching Xander and Steve but I like watching your videos too because your videos are different to others. I'm sure others will agree that your videos are just as good as other people's videos. Glad you made it across the ice by the way.
Looks like an amazing trip, mesmerising sights, great work mate.
Wow! You really took a chance between the weather and the thinning ice on the lake. On the other hand, I love the sound of rain on a tent, so soothing. The issue of water coming into the tent on the wood floor isn't a good thing.
Oh man that ice made me nervous!!! What a great video!!
Tugged on this Greek man’s heart with that amazing looking lamb 🤤
Jay love your videos !!! You should have more videos of the hike in and the hike out. It was very exciting your hike into camp. Me and mrs loved it. It was an adventure itself. Keep up the great videos and great food. Take care and all the best.
Thanks so much!
Glad to see more videos. Enjoying watching them as always.
Trade those pac boots in for some tall rubber boots/ Muck Boots or LaCrosse rubber boots. You won’t be disappointed! Love this video! Glad you’re safe!
Good spring trip Jay! Been camping several times this spring and headed to the Allagash Wilderness Waterway tomorrow for a week with good friends. Nothing like being in the wilds. Always enjoy accompanying you on your cabin trips. Thanks for another great video!
That Rain will go through ice pretty quick!!! Be careful going back, bud!!!

Jay. You have a great setup. If I was single and no kid's I'd be living in that tent. Like always looking forward for the next video and thumbs up 👍
Thanks Richard.
Stunning beauty and so different with snow almost gone!!!
Brave man to go on that ice, great video Jay, nice to see some more of the landscape, keep up the good work!
Brilliant video and wow tose lamb chops were to die for, well done you, one brave man.
Hey Jay you never disappoint your video’s are awesome 👏🏻
Thank you!
"Can't think of a better place to watch people suffer!" Good one Jay! True too. Good video.
Hey Jay! Man I have to be honest and say that I was nervous when you was out on that ice. Thumbs UP man, I love your channel.
Q
So glad to see you safe and sound. Beautiful filming as always.
Wow, I'm surprised you took that risk on the ice. Every year up there, there were (are) stories of people going through the ice and not being found for months. You have family, and it's just not worth it. People that survive say "We thought it was safe" for better ice than that.
Paper plates and cups for emergencies my friend, when you're done they burn.
What an amazing job you've done!
Top video that jay bet it was cozy in there mate with the wind 👍👍🇬🇧👍👍🇬🇧
i know these are in the past but watching you jay, i worry sometimes, u take lots of chances. that ice walk was nuts. i guess it was worth it to check on your tent. a bit damp but it still looks great. again thanks for sharing. ps definitely worth the trip for those lamb chops 😊
I was thinking about critters, and love you put that rucksack up high! I don’t see that precaution enough.
This be the best part about monday
It was good to see a little different video from you. Still very good of course! Hope you don’t get sick from being out in that weather! Best of luck!
Jay, you you are the man buddy! Another awesome video buddy!👍
Great to see you again Jay, be careful.
