I'm 61 years old and I went out camping and fishing on the lake in the Kananaskis country on Spray Lake. Alone. 90 km gusts of wind and -35 F Ice fishing. Had all the right gear, and 4 fat candles. The ice Crystal's on top of my Eskimo tent were awesome. I walked out, set up the tent. Drilled a hole for my beer and one for my emptys. A third hole for the lake trout. I kept warm and had an amazing experience. Wish I was younger though.
Awesome video Jay, thank you for sharing! Just going to mention this, having the carbon monoxide detector lower in the shack will drastically increase its usefulness. If you have it above yourself, by the time the CO detector is going off, its too late.
Not sure where this "CO is heavier than air" comes from. Maybe you've mistaken it with propane? Either way not a big deal. While it's technically lighter, it mixes with warm air and rises but can be at any height. Proximity to the source (i.e. heater) is a bigger factor. Bottom line is that you're much safer just having one. In such a small space it will alert you to danger before it's too late, you will have plenty of warning to get to fesh air.
Another great tip is bring a broom, once ur done all set up just deep the ice/snow off the Matt and don’t worry about them being wet! And a small hand towel after landing a fish to get the water off the Matt’s and best of all, baby wipes, so u don’t get slime all over everything and so ur hands don’t smell that bad after a while! Great video, I love your videos and my brother and I went out overnight in a old pop up shack with a wooden floor and it was so fun! I hope to do it again soon!!!
This is great. Thank for the information. I haven't ice camped. Just moved to Spearfish, SD in May and looking to get set up! I work virtually and have unlimited data on my cell phone. The goal is to work and land a walleye at the same time!
Upstate New Yorker here to say keep up the good content man . Doing some ice fishing very soon and your videos only make me want to go out more! Keep Fishing never stop
did you know with the big buddy, the grate comes off and you flip it around, the bottom holes of the grate go in the top holes of the buddy and you have a grill grate....learned that tonight and my mind was blown! keep up the great videos....stay safe..from northern ontario! cheers
hey jay, i wanted to say that I love the videos. You inspired me to keep fishing. I love all of your videos. You are my favorite UA-cam. Please keep up the good work. ❤️👊🤙
Honestly man I love you and you don’t know me.. my kids and wife are annoyed with my love for fishing.. you did this. Love you man! Put me in your will for that garage
Jay, For all the users asking about your rod case, I have a great alternative. I purchased a rifle case from cabelas and it acts very much the same as your case there. I can for 40” rods in it and it is padded on both ends. Just thought I’d throw that out there...
heat- propane works well, some people use 20 pound some use 30 pound tanks Wood fuel fireplace... if you want to pack in that much wood, they work... Diesel heater... if you have a power source, diesel heaters are a little noisier but are a great controllable heat option, most will require a 12v source, but most solar batteries can do that.
Great video, Jay! Good to see a breakdown of all the little things you might not think about if you haven't done it before. Especially the carbon monoxide detector and not setting up directly on travel corridors. Gotta stay safe!
Minnow bucket, check! Thanks. I bought a rechargeable, clamp on light/ fan for my large hub and it helps direct some of the heat down from the top. The fan is Opolar brand off Amazon.
Also something to keep in mind is to put a foam pad or sleep roll down on your cot. It is one more thing to insulate you from the cold air. One other thing is the fan, there is a thing called a thermoelectric fan. I have one that I dremmeled a piece out of the base so it hooks on my mr. budy grate. It heats up in about a minute and really helps move the air in the shack.
Awesome set up for over night. Honestly love the education I always get from yourself and Clayton. You guys always keep my desire to fish more. Thanks Jay.
Love those tents . I used to sleep in my ice hut with a wood burning stove but they are hard to move around. These are so portable . I have used my 4 men hunting tent but it's not insulated . May just have to save the pennies and get me an ice fishing one.
Love the video! Co2 Detector goes on the floor!!! the gas sinks and fills rooms up like a liquid from the ground up! it must be so confusing to wake up from a dream with a fish on lol
Awesome video Jay , we need to ad Sam to a overnight Fish with Sam’s Kitchen on the ice for a complete family video , Maybe do your honey garlic fish again!!!!
@@matthewcarney3524 I did a ton of research on the best cots, compared between major outdoor stoors and camping stores. Best one I found was on Amazon from red camp. Some were lower weight capacity and some were very high weight cap and well built. Some were not compact or required a lot of space to set up. Google redcamp cot. I also uploaded an unboxing and review just the other day. Check it out if you’re interested
Oh man I haven't slept on the ice since my high school days and we slept in my grandpas trailer or camper. I enjoy the creature comforts of a warm shower and bed after a long day of cold fishing on the ice. You guys are dedicated. I'd love to do it sometime. Just not sure I'd really enjoy it, haha.
Jay you need a buddy heater filter for using 20lb propane tank. Look it up, without one your heater will fail eventually from the oils in the long hose. You should spread the word
Ice fishing, spending the night... is getting more common because of a mix of heating advances (better heater), and better tent options. though now we are seeing the glamping versions, with people having RV style ice shacks, thanks to things like solar... where the shack becomes a home for several days... you have heat, stoves, fridges, etc.
Hey Jay awesome videos, just 1 tip , try a 12volt diesel heater, I love it, keeps the tent dry and no worries about toxic fumes. Mind u have a lead the exhaust outside
You must be a mind reader... I was just thinking everyone is Ice Camping (I am pretty sure Clayton lives in the ice..) I wonder if Jay has something coming out. Sure enough here it is. Another awesome educational video.
Ah Jay for future consideration. CO and CO2 are both heavier than air. I would keep the CO Detector low as in your cot level. A small fan like you mentioned would be excellent as well to not only circulating the heat but it would also mix the CO and CO2 mixed in the air as well. Also Propane is heavier than air as well. Good to know if you are not running the heater and it might have a tiny leak. If you keep your tank shut off when not in use then of course you need not worry about it. Just trying to be helpful.
hey jay thanks so much for posting so obvious ive been in quarantine lately and ur vids are a bright spot in my days thanks a lot keep up the great work
hey jay love your videos, you mentioned something about a fan to move heat around they make thermoelectric fans that are powered by heat I've seen people jerry rig them onto buddy heaters and hear they work great especially since they don't require any batteries
Only done one overnight trip so far this year...got one bite from a 29-30 inch walleye that escaped at the hole and one from a treble hook in the back of my hand at least MB has the barbless hook law on that last one.
Get the filter adapter for the buddy heater. Those hoses disinagrate from the inside and I pulled mine out today and seen a dark fluid at the end of it that came from the inside of the hose. Nothing like a heater that fails in the cold.
The ice kind of becomes its own little city in a lot of places. Its cool to see. I went out to Upper Red a few years ago and there was a bigger population on the ice than most of the towns I passed through lol
have you ever thought of using a different heater I love the buddy style and think they do the trick but I've found the throw too much horizontal heat. I use a homemade heater and never have the problem of the snow melting very much at all. you can't go wrong with a classic buddy and it seems like the flex does a better job of this.
Morning Jay great video's. I'm looking at Dunlop purofort boots, they offer two versions the green like you have and a black. Is there a reason you chose the green over the black?

"You dont really gotta set the hook, just reel." *loses 4 fish in a row* still love the channel, nice work Jay!
I was gonna say the exact thing.... you have to set the hook. Also let them eat long after they pop your flag!
I think the intention is not to be belly hooking fish that he is going to release on camera.
Right the fish will hook himself on
70k way to go Jay! You’re a true outdoorsman who stresses the most important thing wherever you go, safety! Keep up the hard work!
Thank you for reminding people to clean up after themselves. Every year we find tons of trash on the ice from careless fishermen. Love the video!
Absolutely fantastic! Thanks for keeping safety at the forefront! I appreciate you bud!
Thanks for watching!

Just going to mention this, having the carbon monoxide detector lower in the shack will drastically increase its usefulness. If you have it above yourself, by the time the CO detector is going off, its too late.
Exactly because carbon monoxide is heavier than air, so by the time it reaches the detector its already passed your head
just scrolled through to see if anyone else posted this.... the alarm should be below the level of the cot
Ideally you should have two in your shack one lower and on higher, plus gives a back up should one fail.
Not sure where this "CO is heavier than air" comes from. Maybe you've mistaken it with propane? Either way not a big deal. While it's technically lighter, it mixes with warm air and rises but can be at any height. Proximity to the source (i.e. heater) is a bigger factor.

Jay, I just love watching these 30 min video of you and Sam camping in the ice (and catching a bunch of fish)!
Again..school can wait!!! I always love when your videos drop!
Love the casual freak out at 6:30am! Gave me a good laugh :)
This is great. Thank for the information. I haven't ice camped. Just moved to Spearfish, SD in May and looking to get set up! I work virtually and have unlimited data on my cell phone. The goal is to work and land a walleye at the same time!
Check out woodstove fans for a fan in the tent. Put above heater and runs on heat from the heater
Upstate New Yorker here to say keep up the good content man . Doing some ice fishing very soon and your videos only make me want to go out more! Keep Fishing never stop
Just did an overnight camping trip on LOW yesterday! Had a great time watching your content to keep me occupied in the slow evening bite. Cheers!
I moved from SoCal to MN 2 years ago and I LOVE to ice camp! I just have an 8x8 insulated hub but love the experience.
Just finished setting up my flip over, now to lay inside and watch your video!!
Did ya just pop the seats out and put a cot inside or did ya just sleep across the bench? Been thinking about getting one of those
did you know with the big buddy, the grate comes off and you flip it around, the bottom holes of the grate go in the top holes of the buddy and you have a grill grate....learned that tonight and my mind was blown! keep up the great videos....stay safe..from northern ontario! cheers

Thanks so much!!
That guys reaction to the walleye was awesome!!!! Love your videos!
Tromp the snow with your snowshoes ,,, makes a great flat floor for the mats to sit on really good .
Honestly man I love you and you don’t know me.. my kids and wife are annoyed with my love for fishing.. you did this. Love you man! Put me in your will for that garage
Will do! Thanks so much for watching the videos!

Great suggestion! Thanks!
"WHATS GOING ON???"...that was great...lol
Another great vid...keep em coming
28in. Very nice that walleye is as big as the trout I catch
heat- propane works well, some people use 20 pound some use 30 pound tanks
Wood fuel fireplace... if you want to pack in that much wood, they work...
Diesel heater... if you have a power source, diesel heaters are a little noisier but are a great controllable heat option, most will require a 12v source, but most solar batteries can do that.
You always do an outstanding job explaining your set up. I got a kick out of you checking the time and saying it's 6:30 not midnight at all!

Thx..Looking at doing my first overnight on Cold Lake, Ab for some big lakers
Awesome set up for over night. Honestly love the education I always get from yourself and Clayton. You guys always keep my desire to fish more. Thanks Jay.
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it!

Camping on the ice as we watch. Great video
You are really piling in the content... well done enjoy watching you and Clayton schick a few times a week. Cheers
Glad you enjoy it!
Bama booties are 100% essential for all outdoor activities!
Just went ice camping in Northern Wisco last weekend... this video makes me want to go again right now!
Great vids, always an instant watch for me!
Awesome, thank you!
Hey you may want to put your CO sensor on the floor it gathers at the ground level. Always have it below your head level.
Work in the oilfield and the dunlop/bama sock combo can't be beat.
I’ve used an air mattress, but it was 6” thick, and I had 2 sleeping bags, and I was fine.
Fans from Canadian tire are great!
More ice camping vids ! Great content
Thanks Brandon!
Love the video! Co2 Detector goes on the floor!!! the gas sinks and fills rooms up like a liquid from the ground up! it must be so confusing to wake up from a dream with a fish on lol

Hey, you hit 70 thousand subscribers. Good for you Jay!
Thank you!!
This is the most fun you will ever have camping while fishing next to your bed
Love the ice camping buddy haha , its fun to see you looking drunk when waking up , im glad it's not just me
Mornings are tough haha
i just got my cot in for ice camping! super stoked!
What cot did you go with?
@@matthewcarney3524 I did a ton of research on the best cots, compared between major outdoor stoors and camping stores. Best one I found was on Amazon from red camp.

Hey Jay awesome videos, just 1 tip , try a 12volt diesel heater, I love it, keeps the tent dry and no worries about toxic fumes. Mind u have a lead the exhaust outside
Otter makes a great fan/ light I love it and has a rechargeable battery
Good to know! Thanks!
Yeah great idea with the co alarm!
Going to get one for my hut.
You should!

Great video Jay. So interested in this subject. My reservation in Temagami got cancelled and I feel so bad for those operators.
hey jay thanks so much for posting so obvious ive been in quarantine lately and ur vids are a bright spot in my days thanks a lot keep up the great work
Thanks for the kind words!
Love the ice camping videos man!!
Good stuff, Jay!!
Thanks for bringing us with you!!
Thanks for watching!!

Ahhh that's too bad. Next time!
Huge fan!!! I'm at lake of the woods right now not having much luck at all
Hope you get on them next time!
Jay Siemens thank you sir I hope so as well
Oh yeah and franks red hot breaded fish is a home run!
I grew up “ice camping” in permie shacks in northern mb this is definitely not a new thing. All these UA-cam videos make me want to try it in my tent
Thank you for making this video😁 I'm going ice camping tomorrow
Hope you had a great time!
Get the filter adapter for the buddy heater. Those hoses disinagrate from the inside and I pulled mine out today and seen a dark fluid at the end of it that came from the inside of the hose. Nothing like a heater that fails in the cold.
That’s too bad! I’ve had mine for nearly 10 years, no issues.
Buddy makes special hoses. No filter needed if you buy te Buddy brand hose, as it's designed to not break down.
Bought the buddy filter couple years ago. Didn't know they had the hose too, gona definitely get one. Being cold sucks.
Ive caught a 28 inch walleye on the Mississippi which is rare so it’s on the wall now.
top notch content as per usual.
Thanks!!
I like to bring my sled into the shack and line it with them foam mats and sleep in the sled. works just fine for me.
Great video! Slept in my hut 3 times so far this year but no fish to show for it.
It will happen!
Great video as always. Be blessed man
I appreciate it! Thanks!
Tip for your heater use a fireplace fan with it that way it's pushing the heat thru the whole tent.
Jay you should try a lake trout video!
you have soon much stuff!!!!
I would love to see u do minimalist video! you- one rod, one cam, one candle for heat
obviously lights and camera gear and panoptix too
I have! Check them out!
Great video Jay, really enjoyed it!
I literally cannot believe there is so much ice that the lake gets plowed haha. I would absolutely love to go on a ice camping trip like that!
The ice kind of becomes its own little city in a lot of places. Its cool to see. I went out to Upper Red a few years ago and there was a bigger population on the ice than most of the towns I passed through lol
@@FoulMouthFishing666 😂😂
Uncut is back
Where has Uncut Angling been? He still alive and well? Love the ice fishing videos Jay!
He's a busy guy!
Love the videos keep em coming!
Lost it at “look at how ugly that thing is”😂😭great video
have you ever thought of using a different heater I love the buddy style and think they do the trick but I've found the throw too much horizontal heat. I use a homemade heater and never have the problem of the snow melting very much at all. you can't go wrong with a classic buddy and it seems like the flex does a better job of this.
Co2 detector should be lower to the ground as its a heavy gas. Not above your heater
You need an any glide system for ice fishing. You would love it
Good to know!
Jay- "Yeah you don't need a big hookset with these. Just start reeling" *proceeds to lose the fish three times* haha great video, Jay!
True story
Haha, this was hysterical
Was wondering if you could tell me where you got the LED lights for your hub.!! GREAT video Thanks
Princess Auto!!
Morning Jay great video's. I'm looking at Dunlop purofort boots, they offer two versions the green like you have and a black. Is there a reason you chose the green over the black?
Been camping on the ice since I was a teenager kinda sucks everyone is doing it now 🤣🤣 stay safe thanks for the vids
Why does it suck?
Great video Jay, you answered all the questions except the one everyone is wondering about, what is your system for poop management?
Outside!! Where else would I go!??
With all the camping this year it feels like you might be practicing for a lengthy fishing competition!
Unless you build an igloo or something? Hear that Zach (Fowler’s makery and mischief)?
Love the video but I really need to know...what do you do about poopin'?
Only 2 thumbs down, love this vid!
Love your vids..im now a new subscriber...the isulated hub do the walls and ceiling sweat with the propane heat?
