I met Jay at at Winter Karamat course in 1999…I remember him well! He might remember me as the guy that grappled with Simon in the snow! I run a jiu jitsu academy in Montana now and have recently fired up the outdoor work again. Best to you Jay! David C.
Great question. These are designed as forest ecosystem shelters, other than the plastic, everything comes from the forest and we build these deep in the forest. At ground level, wind speeds are greatly reduced and are rarely an issue for the structure. Occasionally there will be a rippling of the plastic, but when we properly tensioned and located deep in the bush, the crackle of your wood stove and the movement of wind in the upper branches of trees will be the dominant sounds.
Thanks for the tour of your sweet get-a-way Jay! (And mention). Such a great set up! Thanks for great job interviewing Brian and creative pre-amble David!
Great recap of the Bush Life of Jay! I loved reviewing all the history of the shelter, the modifications you made, and of course great to a fantastic example of a home away from home!
Wow! Great video! Jay's line of thought,,, It's more difficult to be a Wilderness Living Skills Instructor if you haven't lived in the wilderness. Much respect!!

Excellent
Thanks Jay for doing this. It was great to finally see The Shelter. Great talk you guys.
It's amazing how the story has travelled, but for almost everyone, this was the first view we ever had. Jay definitely did amazing things.
Really great video and story
Jay is one of the little known gems of instruction here in Alberta. First rate person.
Wow, what about really strong winds and the noise , really cool !!

Great work David!
