What an amazing day at the camp in Northern Canada. A snowstorm hit just as I was arriving at camp. The winds were very strong and the snow was whipping in my face. But it was perfect. I was blown away by the beauty and the power of the cold. This was a rare trip for me. It was a simple, last-minute day trip that turned into a moment in my life I won't forget. Also, I am finally able to make it to this remote camp on my snowmobile. What a day!

Here are all of my tiny cabin hot tent videos: youtube.com/playlist?list...

How much experience do I have?

That depends. I am pretty good at starting a fire these days and gathering wood. But I don't really have true bushcraft skills and definitely no carpentry or construction skills or training. I could probably make a shelter if I had to, but that would just come from all the YouTube training (watching) over the years.

What gear do I use?
Canon 90D camera
Rode videomicro
Sigma Art 18-35mm 1.8
Sigma Art 50mm 1.4
Canon 10-18mm stm

I do not live in the tent. I just visit whenever I can.

    I live in the UK I’m 71 At the moment I’m going from one illness to the other. I’m not able to wander around in countryside anymore. Your videos make me feel as though I’m out in the wilds in the fresh air, hearing the trees talking and the wind blowing into my face. I used to love waking up in a tent. I couldn’t endure the cold anymore. Thank you

    I’m so grateful for these videos, I have severe insomnia and your videos relax me so much and give me something peaceful to think about while I fall asleep. Please don’t ever stop making these .
  • When I was coming off heroin, I would have to take this medication when I wake up. I would wake up in full opiate withdrawal (nausea, horrible chills, bone pain, etc) and have to take the medication to make it go away. I would take the meds, turn on your channel, and hide under the covers till I felt normal. I would be in a 72 degree room and have horrible chills down to the bone, watching this guy out in real cold. Love this channel. Appreciate the hard work. It got me through that horrible time. Thanks!

    I am actually a little jealous of your camp! 😁. I would absolutely love to have a place of solitude like that!! I am a 64 year old GRANDMOTHER and I could absolutely spend alone time like this! Yes, I’m a country girl and I love it! My husband always says if I lived in a city…I’d probably be in jail 🤣🤣. I love a quiet life….and your camp is what people like us strive for! It’s not only for fun but, it’s soooo therapeutic! Great for the body and soul!! ENJOY!! It’s truly a treasure! 👍❤️😊

    I’m only a few seconds into the video but I already appreciate the effort; setting up the camera, driving away, driving around the corner and then off screen, then back to his camera. Jay you put a lot of work in, and it shows. Keep it up eh!
  • @andrewbello983
    This guy seems like he would be cool just to hang out with, he seems really in tune with himself and the outdoors!
  • I thought I was the only one who enjoyed instant coffee when you're snowed in in the wilderness. Long Live Sanka

    Usually I prefer the camping trip videos with no talking of hardly any, but your articulation is great to listen to. Keep doing your thing, keep finding the important and bests parts of your soul in the isolation of beautiful nature and all it's changes and moods. Respect, peace and love!
  • I think I want to move to Canada. It seems like such a wonderful place. Open, beautiful, and filled with good people.
  • @Sushi2735
    You are a very very brave man to go into the wilderness in this weather! I get insecure when cold. Came from walking home freezing in the dark from school as a kid. Stay safe and warm!! WOW, that is like a cabin! Love it! Safe and warm!
  • @amialdila
    As a human who lives in the tropics, I really want to feel the snow
  • Appreciate you taking the time out to chronicle your adventures. A great reminder of satisfying times in the bush with family and friends and a way for me to bridge the times in-between.

    I have watched hundreds of great outdoor camping video’s in the winter, before, during, and after a winter storm, I watched them build shelters, campfires, beds etc. but what I have never seen is anyone build a latrine (toilet). They don’t have to demonstrate using it, but at else show that you have one, or some new modern day method designed for camping. No one can go three days camping without relieving themselves, its part of life, human nature, nothing to be shamed about.

    Ketchup, mustard, mayo, heck yeah love it. Good to see you back out in the snow, the excitement you have is very obvious. Looking forward to see what you do with the other campsite, as they say "variety is the spice of life"
  • I wish I was young.im 71 &watching this wonderful video makes me cry.o what a life that you have doing something that we all enjoyed as kids with tons of energy & heads full of ideas..No such thing as fear in your life,but now at 71 I have to be careful every step I take.its facinating to see you enjoying....
  • @kellycolmey3742
    This is a whole culture that I have never learned but thank you so much for teaching
  • @emdoubleyew3788
    I’m team whatever condiment fits your fancy- you’re working hard and you’re having fun! Sending warm and good vibes

    Awesome to see the snow flying again and to hear that machine whirring across the lake. Brings back memories of days gone by in the northern reaches of the US, when I was a lot younger. Now we only have to wait for the first sighting of the Wolf Sweater and the season will be in full swing. After that, perhaps a fish dinner or two from the lake. Maybe that older tent can be transformed into a makeshift ice-shanty for keeping the wind off when out on the lake jigging for dinner.
  • All that's missing is a dog! A dog would SO enjoy being there enjoying the camping with you. I'm always happy when I see a man and his best friend out in the wilderness enjoying the solitude and hanging out together. It seems like a part of the experience is missing without a big, jolly dog romping and frolicking in the snow.

    Think about it. Your views will triple with an adorable pup. 😍
  • Jay, it's been an amazing journey watching the video's, seeing just how much progress from the old tent, to where you are now. You have shared so much with us all. It will be brilliant to be able to watch as you set up the new camp sight and share the winter seasons along the way. I'm waiting for more lights in the sky footage and the deep crisp snow. Thank you 😊 💫
