Awesome photography. You have come quite a way. Thank you for all the effort in sharing this with us. I have a comment/suggestion for you. Just some advice from an old man who has lived off wood heat all my life. When cutting medium sized logs with an axe chop it like this. your swing should be right then left, then left then right, right then left. you will be surprized how much more material you will remove and with less effort. Give it a shot. Thanks again.
Love the drone footage Jay! And as always love watching your videos! Spring is upon us, and even though you won’t be there as much, I’ll always keep watching! Enjoy the spring! I’m into gardening so I’m looking forward to our spring here in Pittsburgh ! ❤️🪴
Another awesome video jay! Can’t wait for my kids to get a little older so I can do this type of stuff with them, thanks for taking us along on the hike in to camp, really enjoyed it, I’m going to look for those pork things next time we go shopping, looks delicious!
Search channel “Outdoor Boys” on UA-cam. 😊 Man takes young sons camping. There are dozens and dozens of videos. They do a lot of camping and in very cold conditions.
I love the way how you made your cabin I love your outside and I love how you fixed it up and made it look good my new wife and I would like to build one exactly the same plus find a piece on island. Will do exactly what you got you're doing a great job keep making videos and I really appreciate it I learned a lot sign Kevin
Thanks Jay, looking forward to seeing the other site you took over and what you might be doing there where you took the old tent down. Looks like you have a busy summer ahead. I will b e heading out myself this summer on some adventures camping as you have inspired mr to get back out to nature and how important it is to reconnect with it.
I just want to let you know how much you mean to my family and I we enjoy it And having you share it with us that makes what a wonderful person you are we hope you're bringing the time Bring your young lady friend out with you on a more Often so we can see you enjoy her company but once again I thank you For what you do I see one of the things you enjoy is on my bucket list I really want to see the northern lights I'm in my middle sixties and that is one of my things I have on my butt You are a lucky young man Once again thank you James T in North Carolina
I still very much enjoy your videos which seem to get better and better. So cool to watch now after being a sub for so long. I do a week in a tent like that hunting every year, and I also own a cabin. Watching you at your set up makes me want a full time tent! Just such a nice, simple set up, well done and very peaceful. Thanks for sharing Jay!
Dang Jay, really stepping up the video quality huh? Those drone shots were beautiful! Glad to know that you’re taking precautions as the bears are coming back and doing what you can to stay safe. You truly do live a fantastic and enjoyable life (at least I think so) and I hope you enjoy every moment of it, I know I enjoy watching it. Much love and until next time! -Landon
Great video Jay. FYI in the spring as you know a bear will eat near anything. Even the residual scent of the packaged meat you brought along with tempt them and they will thrash that thing looking for it. Speaking from experience lol. Great job with the content. My whole family are fans
I am 65 yo and due to spine issues can no longer hike. This said, I still enjoy the outdoors and natural beauty. I have come to enjoy your videos because nature, your cozy cabin/tent stories are telling about life in the wilderness. I once spent a month in the wilderness of California. It was awesome. And I think your girlfriend is wonderful. I hope you marry her! PS, your cooking is amazing. If I ate the way you can, I would be a blimp. Goes to show you the value of vigorous exercise.
Suggestion: get yourself reasonably priced but easy to replace eating utensils that you wash and put away to leave at the campsite. Alternatively, you can try crafting your own. If you have access to horn, you can use hot oil to soften the material enough to carve and shape it to your needs.
A trick I adopted years ago and teach is when you leave camp set your wood stove / fire pit up for a fire. That way when coming back if something happens like you fall into the water or get hurt your fire is ready to go instantly.
Glad no bears came around. It's a good thing you came prepared. Need to keep a fork and spoon at the cabin. LOL...I couldn't use chop sticks, just not coordinated enough. Thanks for sharing. Always love seeing the changing seasons.
I have anxiety thinking of possibly encountering a big bear 🐻 hungry and all yikes ....I think I,ll stay here with my 🐨 bears they don't eat humans .I enjoy watching 👍
I'm always delighted to see you arrive at your camp and its been untouched. A testament to the remoteness and character of the people in the area. Dude, Steak a medley of root vegetables, Bacon, Coffee and the Bears are just awaking up and starving??? Invite them over, meet your neighbors. A BBQ some songs around a campfire. Make a solid woodland buddy friend thing with the Ursus family. Promise them donuts when you come back and they will protect your property like watchdogs.
Nice to see the area from the air. Never miss a video. However, lol, it freaks me to see you saw 2 logs of wood at once. It significantly increases the chances of saw kickback…and being alone in the woods , on foot, could be disastrous. Food for thought. Keep ‘em coming Jay!! Cheers!!
Spring and Winter my 2 favorite seasons. Fall is so beautiful too. But I just like to hang onto that last little bit of Winter with the crocus starting to poke threw and the warmth on my face and a good fire. I’m sad to see the Winter leave because that means my Jay in the woods time is shorter. Until next Winter Jay. I know we will see you here and there. May you be healthy and happy and closer to your dreams. Thank you Jay.
Oh jay you are such a lovely man, you did make us laugh No Fork but bless you making chopsticks 🥢, yet another wonderful video, love and best wishes from sue and andy xxx❤️❤️👵🏻👴🏻🏴
We had bears in southern CA. I had an older Arab mare with dry hooves. We also had black bears. There was a well-meaning guy who told me bacon grease was the best hoof care to heal the dry condition. The bears had been known to cross the road and climb our trees. It just did not seem like a good idea to slather her feet with the bacon grease and get chased by bears.
Hi Jay, its hard to avoid sweating on a hike. In winter conditions I always take another set of clothes and change immediatly upon arrival. Then you can warm up immediately, take your time setting the fire in the wood stove and and dry out your clothes. No chills, or at least they don't last long. Also remove layers as you warm up on a hike without delay. Minimizing the overheating will reduce the sweathing too. I add and remove clothing fast. If you get too wet, you are at high risk of Hypothermia if something goes wrong. Not to mention there is no help on the way any time soon.
Another great video. I’m glad you explained about the bears and showed the devices you use. Of course the food part is great too. Here in the South we call that pork bacon (White meat) because it’s so white. We usually wash it first since it’s so salty. Yeah we eat it a lot here in Alabama. Your camp site is beautiful even without the snow. I’m sure the air quality is fresh. Thanks for bringing us along. 😀
Get yourself a spork, it’s a knife, spoon and fork all in one. You will find them in most outdoor shops etc . I have one in all my pieces of kit. You could even go posh and get a titanium one, light but very strong 👍
Spring has sprung! Soon enough you'll have to take the long way to get to the tent, but then you'll be able to get some fishing in so it'll be worth it. Adding the drone shots was a big plus too. Once things have thawed out you should check the corner of the tent platform to see if it settled any more. By the looks of it, the frozen ground hasn't moved any during the winter, but that might change in warmer temperatures. As always, thanks for sharing.
I remember you mentioned that you had the covid not long ago, it's a shame but it does affect your sense of smell for a little while, had it 10 months ago and still iffy myself sometimes. Hang in there bud, you'll get better. You really should leave a set of cutlery at the tent, you can clean them thoroughly with snow, store them above with other items. I am with you about the chocolate, Cadbury makes the best, my favorite is the fruit and nut bar. caramello is awesome too, Enjoy
back with you mate. Never really gets boring this type of life. Too much to do. That wood store is just what you need. Loaded out. It might snow again though.
Put your smelly stuff in a sealed container, hit a garage sale/thrift store for camp cutlery/pots snd pans etc you can leave there, saves packing stuff in and out....love the channel....
Hey Jay! Awesome videos! I enjoy them quite a bit. Just wanted to say be careful with those cheap stainless steel grill brushes. They can shed and end up in the food. People in the US had to have intestinal surgery to get them out. Just watch out for shedding. Sorry to be a killjoy, just be aware. Cheers!
You slay me Jay! "I forgot my fork!". I think I've watched every one of your videos. Started watching when you were muckin around in your old tent. You looked like a brand new bear cub out there. You sure have come a long ways. I don't comment much but I'm always watching. Enjoy the weather, see you next time.
I see you have acquired a drone. I love drone footage...nice birds 🐦 eye 👁 view. I am curious, just what types of bear 🐻 🐻❄ would you e counter up there? I figure black bear but are grizzlies around or is it polar bear? Spring is nice outside...not to hot or cold 🥶 and no bugs.
You were worried about the perfume smell of the fire starters but I would br more worried about cooking a steak on an outdoor grill if there were bears around. :(
Great drone shots and wonderful outro.. Jay in the woods definitely feeling it! Maybe a suggestion that you probably already got but you could make and craft things while you're out there let's say for example something simple like bird houses or other simple word workings. Either way I look forward to your videos have a good one Jay!
Hey buddy. Tip for the bear banger. I know it's expensive but play around with a shot or 2 just so you can judge the distance on how far it shoots. If you shoot the bear banger in the bears general direction and the banger goes off behind the bear you could actually scare it towards you. May be an ideal to shoot straight up. & you won't start a forest fire if it's dry. Just a suggestion.
Hey Jay awesome video, the one thing I wanna say is with the bear bangers, when you're in the back country the point of the loose spring lock is so that you can have a banger on the shooter and ready so if u have to use it all yoh do is pull over pull it back and release... Trust me I've used it multiple times it's very effective that way.
Wow Jay you’re so lucky to live in such a beautiful place! I am lucky too because I live very short drives from forests but can’t build permanent or semi permanent structures! I do know where I could do semi permanent things without any guarantees lol
I have the type of shotgun system that you tie to a tree and run wire and tie off to another tree so when a bear is coming to close to my camp it trips the wire witch pulls pin and fires the shotgun shell. Shells come as bear alerts, flares ( different colors ) stink bombs
Still freezing at your end... yesterday I was doing my firewood in +20c in ontario near Sudbury Jay you need to get some heat paint on that beautiful stove of yours
Hey Jay, got a suggestion for you on your bearbag. Tie a carabiner on your line, just makes it easier to hook up and release it. You probably already know this I just thought I'd mention it.
Well, another fine video. Love your videos. Simple, wholesome, and fun. Fortunately no plague of bugs yet. And those pork belly strips look very good. I can just imagine the taste, oops drooling all over my keyboard!
I love your videos Jay and I have to admit that I am a tea bag squisher! LOL .. Your Steak and Pork Bellies looked delicious! Thanks Jay and thumbs UP man! 👍
Made sure your bear banger pen is Centerfire not rim fire because it won’t work. Some pens can fire rim or Centerfire you just turn around the firing pin. You can’t go wrong with 3” mag slugs. Keep up the videos 👍
Always keep some plastic utensils in a tote at camp. That bear banger may scare the bear into attacking. Or it will run but circle back around to attack when you're unaware. Get a gun licence and a 12 gauge shotgun or 44 mag mares leg. After a failed bear bang you can give him some lead follow up. Some bears are habituated to humans up there, the tracks I saw were always black bear, never saw grizzly and it's not really polar country (although, maybe a pizzly would mosey down there, they're wierd).
I'm glad to here from you again keep coming again and again good to see you.🤩🙃🙃🙃😉😉😉😉😉😄😃🙃
Top video jay keep em coming 👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👍
Your cooking is mouthwatering 💕

I think I've said this on here before. Black bear scat usually has berries in it. Grizzly scat has little bits of flannel and smells like bear spray.
OMG…..had I been drinking milk I would have snorted out my nose…that there was funny. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for always telling the temperature in Celsius and Fahrenheit!
Awesome! I live in bear country, too. Always a concern after those pesky fellows wake up.
That is quite a hike for a weekend "at the camp." The snow mobile really makes that trip bearable, but hiking it is really a workout.
Love the drone footage Jay! And as always love watching your videos! Spring is upon us, and even though you won’t be there as much, I’ll always keep watching! Enjoy the spring! I’m into gardening so I’m looking forward to our spring here in Pittsburgh ! ❤️🪴

Its B.S.,no Bears...big deal the Bears are awake,show us some.. The fish are awake to.
I love the way how you made your cabin I love your outside and I love how you fixed it up and made it look good my new wife and I would like to build one exactly the same plus find a piece on island.

Having further footage taken from a drone is just awesome Jay! Gives a great overall look of your camp site and the terrain you’re in 👍
Suggestion: get yourself reasonably priced but easy to replace eating utensils that you wash and put away to leave at the campsite. Alternatively, you can try crafting your own. If you have access to horn, you can use hot oil to soften the material enough to carve and shape it to your needs.
PS you're sitting there eating and I'm looking out for bears for you oh lord ....
A trick I adopted years ago and teach is when you leave camp set your wood stove / fire pit up for a fire. That way when coming back if something happens like you fall into the water or get hurt your fire is ready to go instantly.
Amen! We did that at our cabin, too. And wood box full.
Glad no bears came around. It's a good thing you came prepared. Need to keep a fork and spoon at the cabin. LOL...I couldn't use chop sticks, just not coordinated enough. Thanks for sharing. Always love seeing the changing seasons.
Absolutely amazing as always. Thank you for doing this video for us. I wasn't sure if you would get one in before the summer hits.
I have anxiety thinking of possibly encountering a big bear 🐻 hungry and all yikes ....I think I,ll stay here with my 🐨 bears they don't eat humans .I enjoy watching 👍
A lean to made into a summer kitchen over your big stove would be a game changer! Shower water, cooking, all covered out of the wind, rain, and sun!
I'm always delighted to see you arrive at your camp and its been untouched. A testament to the remoteness and character of the people in the area. Dude, Steak a medley of root vegetables, Bacon, Coffee and the Bears are just awaking up and starving??? Invite them over, meet your neighbors. A BBQ some songs around a campfire.

I would like to add, I enjoy your content! Thanks for all the hard work and sharing
I am hungry now after seeing the wonderful meal you made. Enjoyable video as always .👍. 🙂
Right on, give them bears the negative experience instead of the deadly one. Gotta have with you gear in bear country. Love the drone footage. Cheers.
Nice to see the area from the air. Never miss a video. However, lol, it freaks me to see you saw 2 logs of wood at once. It significantly increases the chances of saw kickback…and being alone in the woods , on foot, could be disastrous. Food for thought. Keep ‘em coming Jay!! Cheers!!

Muy bonita su cabaña..soy una admiradora desde ECUADOR. Saludos..desde mi pais..envieme un saludo gracias.
Always a great day when Jay uploads. Cheers everyone.
the one shot disposable pen and pin reminds me of a pinball ball plunger. thank you for that. 😉

Thank you for showing the video that means a whole lot👏NC
Beautiful weather. I love this tent. I watched you build it from the start. Awesome.
Get yourself a spork, it’s a knife, spoon and fork all in one. You will find them in most outdoor shops etc . I have one in all my pieces of kit. You could even go posh and get a titanium one, light but very strong 👍
As you say Jay, It's your dream keep living it.. You have the opportunity that many can only imagine!
Awesome scenery Jay what a beautiful time of year to be in the woods

thanks for making the winter here in england bearable love watching the vids on a saturday night with a good beer

Hey Jay!
Awesome videos! I enjoy them quite a bit. Just wanted to say be careful with those cheap stainless steel grill brushes. They can shed and end up in the food. People in the US had to have intestinal surgery to get them out. Just watch out for shedding.
Sorry to be a killjoy, just be aware.
Cheers!
Awesome video as always Jay. So peaceful and the best living for the soul. Cheers
Love your giant Fork . It did the work enjoy your dinner or breakfast .
And the old barrel stove finds an new life. A wind that kicks up a campfire won't touch that bad boy. Northern lights in a azure sky. Wow.
Yep. That stove still has a place at camp!
Excellent video, loved seeing your truck to the tent.
You slay me Jay! "I forgot my fork!". I think I've watched every one of your videos. Started watching when you were muckin around in your old tent. You looked like a brand new bear cub out there. You sure have come a long ways. I don't comment much but I'm always watching. Enjoy the weather, see you next time.
Hey Tim. Thanks for taking the time to comment. I love hearing from people who have been around from the beginning.
i did not know u had 24 hour sunlight brother jay..what part of the great nation of Canada are u ..thank you Jay have a good night
Thank you again for sharing your adventures!
Awesome video Jay, its going to be a long summer , I really enjoy your winter video's .. chop sticks
Excited to see another Tent video. It was great as usual. Thanks Jay !!
Super like the subscribe, like & notify animations. Summer at the tent looks just as good as winter. Diversity Rocks!!
I see you have acquired a drone. I love drone footage...nice birds 🐦 eye 👁 view. I am curious, just what types of bear 🐻 🐻❄ would you e counter up there? I figure black bear but are grizzlies around or is it polar bear? Spring is nice outside...not to hot or cold 🥶 and no bugs.
LOVE YOU JAY! CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT VIDEO! make me a two hour video!
So glad to see you out there so late in the season !! Great video, Take care and keep it going !!
You were worried about the perfume smell of the fire starters but I would br more worried about cooking a steak on an outdoor grill if there were bears around. :(
Great drone shots and wonderful outro.. Jay in the woods definitely feeling it!

Either way I look forward to your videos have a good one Jay!
Brilliant as ever, but I'm gonna miss seeing all that snow.
Nice Jay. 👍 The next time you go to your tent you'll be canoing. I like the idea of the log splitter. Maybe I can get one made for me here?
your tent and stove look so inviting Jay
Take some bamboo chop sticks and leave them there! LOVE Sapporo!
Hey buddy. Tip for the bear banger. I know it's expensive but play around with a shot or 2 just so you can judge the distance on how far it shoots.

May be an ideal to shoot straight up. & you won't start a forest fire if it's dry. Just a suggestion.
Excellent tips
PS on the fire starters store them in zip bags actually 21 inside of the other the bears won't be able to get the smell
thank you so much for your videos! l enjoy them very much!!
Long awaited welcome to spring season 🌷
Love your videos, much love from, " the Croziers From Maine".
Another great video Jay they are always so relaxing to watch!!!!
Always look forward to the next video. Enjoyed this one.
Tea and crumpets with Jay, lol, could be a new chapter.
Very nice place👍Just like here in Finland.Like your videos
Hey Jay awesome video, the one thing I wanna say is with the bear bangers, when you're in the back country the point of the loose spring lock is so that you can have a banger on the shooter and ready so if u have to use it all yoh do is pull over pull it back and release... Trust me I've used it multiple times it's very effective that way.
Welcome to Jay's Eatery for hungry bears !!! 👍🐻🍕🍔🍟🌭🍿🥓🍖🍗🥩🧀🍠 Your steel kindling maker must sound like a triangle dinner chime to the bears !!!! lol
Hi Jay, after your past video with the "pork" and I said my dad used to make them, I found some and bought them! Pork rinds in my future!
Glad to see you back Jay, be careful.
I'm glad for you that you returned to find your "house" in order.
And my wife laughed at me when I bought a couple folding, camping utensil sets for our bags. Loving the videos brother. Keep up the fantastic work
Ha! Right on Jim. Thanks for the comment. Jay.
Wow Jay you’re so lucky to live in such a beautiful place! I am lucky too because I live very short drives from forests but can’t build permanent or semi permanent structures! I do know where I could do semi permanent things without any guarantees lol
I have the type of shotgun system that you tie to a tree and run wire and tie off to another tree so when a bear is coming to close to my camp it trips the wire witch pulls pin and fires the shotgun shell. Shells come as bear alerts, flares ( different colors ) stink bombs
Great videos Jay keep up your good work 👍
Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time they come on.
Thanks Brenda.
Still freezing at your end... yesterday I was doing my firewood in +20c in ontario near Sudbury
Jay you need to get some heat paint on that beautiful stove of yours
Hey Jay, got a suggestion for you on your bearbag. Tie a carabiner on your line, just makes it easier to hook up and release it. You probably already know this I just thought I'd mention it.
Good idea!
Well, another fine video. Love your videos. Simple, wholesome, and fun. Fortunately no plague of bugs yet. And those pork belly strips look very good. I can just imagine the taste, oops drooling all over my keyboard!
I love your videos Jay and I have to admit that I am a tea bag squisher! LOL .. Your Steak and Pork Bellies looked delicious! Thanks Jay and thumbs UP man! 👍
Really nice video here, Jay. These videos just about make my day! Thanks so much!
Made sure your bear banger pen is Centerfire not rim fire because it won’t work. Some pens can fire rim or Centerfire you just turn around the firing pin. You can’t go wrong with 3” mag slugs. Keep up the videos 👍
Hehe, the chopsticks were genius 😂, gotta admit, I’m a teabag squisher, no patience hehe, awesome vid , thanks so much Jay!
Drone footage was awesome 👍👍.
Didn't know you had a drone. Need more footage like that !
Thanks Lari, that was the first time I ever flew a drone. Was fun and I'm excited to use it on the channel
Always keep some plastic utensils in a tote at camp.
That bear banger may scare the bear into attacking. Or it will run but circle back around to attack when you're unaware. Get a gun licence and a 12 gauge shotgun or 44 mag mares leg. After a failed bear bang you can give him some lead follow up. Some bears are habituated to humans up there, the tracks I saw were always black bear, never saw grizzly and it's not really polar country (although, maybe a pizzly would mosey down there, they're wierd).
HEY! Hello and thumbs UP to you!
