FREEZING COLD CAMPING IN TENT. SMOKING HOT WOOD STOVE 

Hey everyone! Testing out a handmade American stove tonight! It doesn't replace my main stove.

Thank you for your wonderful videos. I do live with you with the food, air, outside, challenges. The coziness and the food make me happy. Thank you for showing the toilet system. Much needed. Blessings.

Jay, your photography and videography have become absolutely fantastic! Watching your productions has become one of the highlights of my You Tube time. Thanks for all your efforts.

OMG…Mom used to make tuna fish casserole when I was young….you nailed it when you said it reminded you of home etc….sooo true!!!

That tuna casserole looked really tasty. A nice choice when working in the cold. One of my favorite meals when I was a kid was my Grandmother's chicken and biscuits, with gravy naturally. Grandma made the world's best baking power biscuits and putting delicious chicken and gravy over them was an unforgettable experience. Here's Grandma's recipe: 2 cups flour 3 Tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 3 Tbsp shortening (crisco) 3/4 cup milk You can pre-mix the dry ingredients, then cut in the shortening at camp, mix in the milk, and bake until golden brown. Put some chicken and gravy over them and dine away. It's a bit of work, but you'll thank yourself after the first mouthful. PS. I had frost on my windshield this morning. Brrrrrrrrrr!!

Yep, tuna casserole and a cobbler for dessert. Yummy for your tummy.

I operated in the severe cold as a training measure, just in case the US Marines had a crisis or war break out in a cold climate. As a child and teenager, I lived in ND, NH, and infantry training in Fort Drum, NY. My hat comes off to you for your enjoyment of life. I had to bear those conditions as a US Marine, not fun fighting in sub zero conditions.

You're my favourite on YT the last months. Keep it up!

You have the greatest set up. I so enjoy watching your videos. Thank you Jay.

i cant think of a better way to finish a monday than sitting back and watching a jay in the woods cheers Jay

I love watching your videos out of all the winter camping videos yours are the best

Hey Mr Jay, as always it’s great to see you. I love it that it’s so peaceful and serene at camp. You really do love your property by the way you keep everything so neat and organized. Thank you Jay for sharing your time with us.

Love watching your videos it helps with my anxiety a lot. When you get the stove going while it’s so cold out side and it’s nice and warm inside got to be a great feeling. So peaceful and quiet there. Keep up the great content you make. Love from the uk

Love you winter videos and happy people

My special Meal is Fried Pigs Blood, in the form of Irish Black Pudding. Always transports Me to My childhood holidays in Ireland.

Another Great Video Jay.. Life Goals :) Dinner look delicious.

Tuna noodle casserole is the best!! Have a nice Christmas season.

Tuna casserole looked great. Makes me want to try your recipe. Nighttime drone footage and time lapse looked good too. Merry Christmas !

Nice video. Good production too. That's a cool tent and setup. Nice and roomy. I'd love to do this and bring some books to read. I might try that tuna casserole. Looks yummy

I live in socal and I love these kinds of videos, I could only imagine being in this kind of environment. I love the cold but the coldest I get is 35 degrees. Maybe one day I can experience something like this. Thank you for sharing this

Love all of your videos Jay and am envious of your adventures! Keep it up!

Great channel! A tip on the spam.....let it get really cold and stiff. Slice it VERY thin...like bacon. Fry it HARD and crispy. Add black pepper and a small amount of brown sugar to caramelize it and sweeten it. Serve with any mustard. I was an army brat and have eaten spam in a dozen countries. Its great...when fried well to get it crusty like bacon.

Good stuff Jay!

The Poo Bags are great...have many from working underground in a coal mine...very handy.

Thanks for the video

I am glad the American stove did the job Jay. I enjoy watching your channel. Tuna Casserole was a meal we would often have growing up, raised catholic so tuna casserole, salmon Pattie’s, potato soup, no meat . Patties. Spam- we also ate often. As my father worked for Hormel. Try a Cure 81 ham. The best ham out there! I could relate to your whole dinner menu. Ha ha ha! I like my spam with a hard sear, not burnt, but dark brown. Stay safe, have fun.

Always enjoy

Thanks for the video, well done. Here outside of Edmonton we are to hit -36C tonite, so I get what cold is. Keep doing them and I will keep watching them. Thanks again.

Once again a great video ,all ways glad to join you!

HAI JAY! THANKS FOR THE VIDEO!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2023!!!

Thank you!! You have really taught me a lot about camping.

Mr. Legere, those are amazing meals made with simple ingredients, when you are doing hard work in the cold. Please get a nylon spatula so you don't accidently score that teflon pan with that sharp knife!

Hi Jay. Leftovers always taste better for some reason.

During this stressful time, your videos relax me. Thank you!

Love that stove Jay! And now ya got me thinkin' about a casserole. Thanks as always for the video.

Fantastic video! We appreciate you too! Beautiful videography!

Your videos are so relaxing, great way to pass my time before snoozing away to the land of nod. Stay safe Jay 💟

Well done! Love you’re videos, keep them coming Jay.

Always look forward to Monday’s video !!!!!

Another great video,thanks for putting them out. I can live out my dream of living like that tree you.

You're living the life I wish a million times over I had....you should make a shepherd pie sometime, imagine how good that would feel🥰

We can't wait for you to come back very good video🎅NC

I like watching your channel because you camp your way! You make the best out of the cold dark days and that reminds me to get outside myself and camp.

❄️❄️❄️☺️

Sitting around my wood stove down in Georgia, watching your videos. You are a cool guy!

Same here on the cooking. I have kids that love hotdogs, Most the time it's hotdogs and marshmellows. Maybe some chips. Eat what makes you happy.

Right on awesome video Jay! 👍👍👍

You should try spam and eggs it's really good. Good job on the videos thank you !!!!

Well done! Nice stove, and the double doodie bag is a great idea.

chickenfried steak. with mash potatoes. and greens. stay warm.

enjoy watching you do what you love! Stay safe out there Jay.

Seriously enjoy all these videos! You can tell Jay is straight up east-coast by some of the meals he makes, and his accent lol!

Once again it is wonderful to see your video I am in my 70's now so last year had to go from my tent to a caravan so I could enjoy U K Winter nothing like yours but still nice to have -9 C and enjoy once again thank you for the joy you give this old girl

I am amused that I am actually enjoying watching your vids - maybe memories of my snow days in MA & NY. Definitely your views and chats keep me coming back to the scenery and adventures. Not a Spam person but it looked pretty good. I do like to see the fire flicker …

Great vid J. It's bloody cold here in central Ab -34 tonight -41 with the wind chill.. love your videos. Keep them coming!

I bought one of those toilet lid things for the 5 gallon buckets to use with my camper as a trash can. It works great for a trash can function outside. I got a few free harbor freight buckets a while back I use with it!

Thanks for creating a little getaway feel ☺️, always love watching your vids.

That Casserole looks so awesome I'm jealous

Love all your videos Jay, Keep up the good work!

You are doing a awesome job just love and enjoy it a good past time on those cold winter evenings keep it up

🙏👍 Cozy video.

Great videos throughout the year Jay.Have a good Christmas.

Yes I’m in Montana and snow is heavy I’ve seen it cave in roofs of houses

My best childhood dishes are fermented cucumbers (and I like the smell of dill and garlic when you're making seasonings). And fried carp - a traditional Polish dish for Christmas Eve. And an unsurpassed dish, which I have no chance to make while living in the UK - fresh, fried saffron milk cap in breadcrumbs.

Nice to see you use the new stove. I ordered one myself. Supposed to be here this week. Really enjoying your videos. Keep them coming.

Yet another great video Jay.

"Spam! It's crazy tasty!" Old motto

Very Cool!

As a matter of fact there is one meal I can think of that reminds me of being a kid Hamburger gravy over rice with corn it is still hard to beat super easy to make it is comfort food at its best. Thank You for all the awesome content Have A Happy New Year

Another great video. Not a spam fan but I do like can Treat. It’s usually right there by the spam. I ate tuna casseroles in my early days growing up. Lots of memories. Have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year. Stay safe and catch you on the next awesome video.

Thanks for the great content Jay, keep enjoying yourself and stay safe.

I love the hickory smoked spam, fried crisp and thin, you'd think it was bacon. Hard to get under $5 US now because it isn't available much at stores or online.

Many folks don't realize honestly how much firewood it takes to burn in the winter. Keep stocking up the wood because it is always needed. Lots of work.

A tip for making spam sandwiches; if you fry and egg and put it in the sandwich, it really helps to soften the overly salty taste.

Merry Christmas friend have a good one. See ya in 2023.

Spam pretty good. I like mustard on mine. I love corned beef in a can cold on a slice of bread with mustard

I so love your tidy tent and all that you persue out there. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Jay, I just found your channel and I love it! I've been binge watching ever scene! Very enjoyable and I wish I were there!

Another great video. I just wanted to say, a lot of people don't like SPAM, I am one that does, there are a pile of different flavors, I know they make Bacon flavor and it is okay, but I think the Hickory Smoked, sliced thin and fried until crisp takes more like real bacon than the Bacon flavored version does. I make SPAM, egg and cheese muffins with it, and SLTs SPAM, lettuce and Tomato sandwiches also. Great camping food and just as good at home. Keep up the videos, can't tell you how much I enjoy them.

Hey Jay ! Enjoyed another episode from you !

Spam dogs are so good

Jay- Spam is Great, especially sliced thin and fried to a crispy texture. It is fantastic when fried with onions, garlic, potatoes and diced tomatoes- we add green olives as well. One pan meal that is a snap to make. As always, great video.

i cannot think of a colder inhabited place other than Siberia, haha. really jealous of your bear tent too. keep it up.

Discovered your channel tonight, great content! You have a new subscriber! Greetings from the Netherlands

Hi Jay, it has been quite awhile since I watched your channel, I'm just not into the electronic camping but, I'm glad I checked in because, I just bought the same exact stove from the same company and this stove has proven to be a winner. It heats my 12'x30' cabin very well and we are having -38F to -40F temps and my cabin is cozy. Taker easy.

My favorite has been and is as much a favorite today as well is Goulash. I know everyone has their own version, but mine is curly pasta, stewed Tomatoes, Tom/paste, Hamburger of course, maybe some sliced up mild Sausage as well, onions, mushrooms, salt and pepper, and something I put on everything these days..Franks!

Hey try putting the dampner higher then so low, let the pipe heat up. Awesome video love them keep them coming

Your cameraman deserves a raise....😉

Good to here from you I hope you are doing good.🙃🙂😏😉🥰🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗✨✨✨✨

Hey Jay, I make a similar dish, Chicken Maryland pieces we call in Australia in a baking dish with a can of Cream of chicken soup, so tasty and delicious 😋 I serve with just mash potato 😋

Good stuff jay!

super de France!!!

Hello Jay, don't know how I missed this, but I found it. Lots of Tuna Casserole in my house when I was a kid, Ma's recipe was similar, but differant. I would even cut a slab out of the casserole the next day to go in a sandwich, Spam too, Spam was a treat ! ! !

My favorite home style meal is pot roast.

Lovin it so far ❤️

It's only a matter of time before Jay installs a second stove jack

As a Canadian who also enjoys winter camping you’ve definitely created some great content…and thanks for showing that new stove! New subscriber and all the best this winter.

Fried spam/treet (Arnour brand) sandwiches with cheese slice on top and catsup. American cheese, never knew what other cheeses were until college. Sliced for or six slices from a can, golden brown, two slices with melted cheese on top to hold it together. Put on lightly toasted white light bread. Maybe a scrambled egg on top. Fixed in a 6 or 10 inch cast iron skillet on either an iron coal stove plenty hot or an electric stove in the summer. Put in a bread bag and head to the mountains or the coal mine. Those early days.

Its spamtastic! Take a can of chicken noodle soup, puree it and mix it with hash browns. Bake until all moisture is gone...it makes an awesome side dish. Cheers from da ROCK!
