Man Preps for Winter Alone in Cabin 

This new format it working for me Jay. Your hard work ethic is overpowering the ever diminishing lack of experience that’s for sure. I see a confidence emerging in your attitude and an increasing enthusiasm for getting ‘er done. I will pay you the compliment I got once from an old guy , that I’ve always cherished…”You would have made a good farmer”!

Im so happy this channel has sponsors now, not because I like hearing ads, but because it means Jay you get more income, which allows the channel to grow and continue, which I do wish for. Love the content, I watch every new video been here since the start and cant wait to see what you do in the months, years, to come!

What a nice way to wake up on a Sunday morning to have something fun and entertaining to watch. Thank you, I'm enjoying these regular uploads.

Something small (but not too small) to throw into your gear on a future trip: A good, strong magnet. Clearing nails out of rubbish and burn piles will be much easier, and you'll get the ones you aren't seeing... Another "out in left field" idea: Find a way to rig a couple outboard wheels on the boat, that could be dropped down and locked in place to roll over those shallow spots. Not sure if that's doable, but thought I'd throw it out there for you to think about.

If you ran the generator first the oils viscosity would reduce thus enabling it to flow through the funnel slightly easier. Also if you cut the bottom off the funnel it would leave a larger hole for the oil to flow through.. greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪

Loved this video! The solitude must be wonderful. Your hard work is paying off, the area around the cabin looks great. I appreciate you taking precautions when burning. Thanks for sharing your time at your cabin!

I love watching how much you have grown from the days of a tent with dirt floor, to a tent with wood frame and finally to the cabin. You have learned so much and made this channel so enjoyable. Look forward to seeing how things are in the winter time.

Almost seems like the time to bring the years construction supplies out is during the frozen months and then not fighting the creek!!!

The improvements on your homestead are amazing.

Mount a winch somewhere along the rough part of the creek - /// mount a pulley system to get heavy stuff from the boat up to cabin …… eventually dredge the creek bed …. Your Doing awesome man !!!!

I started watching about a year ago. My 7 year old daughter watches you with me. You may not feel it all the time but you are inspiring. You’re leap from the day in day out work grind to your passion has been fascinating to follow. I wish you nothing but success.

Loved this episode Jay. Just a Man and his Cabin. The Season Finale of Alone was GREAT! YEAH William!!!👍🏻🇨🇦👍🏻

You're absolutely killin it Jay!!!! It'll be the Taj Mahal of the great north country. Keep up the fantastic work 💪

Fantastic video Jay! The difference in appearance of the cabin and property is amazing. You're doing a great job learning as you go and that's something to be very proud of. As always I'm looking forward to the next video. Cheers

Hold the funnel just above the container you’re using to put the oil in. This will help displace the air inside the container and let the oil flow freely.

Thats a new sport you have invented Jay " Outhouse shimmying " 😂😂😂

I love watching the northern lights. The waves slowly rolling up on the shore. And you, doing your best to improve your camp. I took an aptitude test for college 40 some years ago. I think, "fire watcher" was the recommendation. I love watching your fires in the stove that your father-in-law? ( not sure ) Assembled for you. I never got to live that life. I spent more than 30 years in front of a radar display in Chicago working air traffic. I'm an old man now. You are living out my dreams. Keep doing what you do!

A big magnet on a stick is perfect for nails. Harbor Freight sells several versions.

Great video! I love that you included making food!

Jay, can't lie, im pumped for the arrival of snow. You always make awesome videos in the cold, can't wait 👍🏼

Really appreciate you being smart about the fire. The amount of people I see throw a massive one down just anywhere with zero thought to it is honestly terrifying.

Omg, I LOVE the vintage license plates! Such a cool addition!❤️

You are coming along great with your projects and looking forward to future episodes as toy get ready for winter

Jay, great video…always enjoy your content very much and looking forward to the winter months where you always seem to have a great time. Regarding the nails all over the property, you can purchase very powerful rare earth magnets (think magnet fishing) that will find all (or most) of those little hard to see nails so you and your dog don’t find them later. I had my roof done this year and that was the last step of cleanup, big powerful magnet walked all over the property to find the nails that were strewn about during the tear-off. Cheers!

Exciting to see your off grid cabin come together just in time for winter to set in. Awesome job Jay. 🤗💖

I was really glad that you started hanging those license plates, because at first I thought you were going to use the outhouse and take us with you! That wheel barrow is going to be a great help. Maybe a shovel, and some dredging of that creek?

Hello Jay ! I you would like to have square cuts on your narrow pieces of plywood or boards. Just use the edge of your little square. Place it against front of your piece of wood and use 90 or 45 to guide the shoe of your circular saw. ( I think it"s great that you enjoy all your meals, and truly love food.)

Great use of the license plates! The place is really starting to shape up. On a recent trip from Spain home to the States, we flew just south of Labrador, brought a smile to my face. Thanks for another great video.

It looks neat and tidy around there. It will make trompsing around in the winter much safer. Looking forward to your front-room construction.

Always enjoy your videos. Looking forward to the months ahead as you work on the cabin and outbuildings.

You are one hardworking man.

Hi Jay, I have a idea 💡 for you, about your propane pipe to your propane cook stove. Drill a hole throw your wall and put it throw the wall and foam around your pipe . This way you don't have to open your window. But you are doing awesome job around your cabin. Have a wonderful week and stay safe and sound and take care 🙂

Nice touch with the license plates,you also need a fan boat like they use on the bayou's. It can run across that little creek,great video!!!!

I love how hard you work to do everything you do. I also love your "nervous laugh" when you aren't sure how things will go. It is infectious! I own the exact same generator as you do and use the same method to drain it. I did learn along time ago to drill a little hole in the top of the bottle I was draining it into, to let the air escape and let the oil in.

Hi Jay love the license plates on the wall Awesome Amazing ❤😊

Pro tip on the KLIK burger. Take the whole hunk outta the can, and cut parallel to the large sides for full squares. Instant poor man's Wendy's burgers! lol! Always look forward to a new cabin or tent vid. Cheers!

With so much surface rock, a leaf blower would clean nicely.

I enjoy your videos so much. I'm too old now to do things like you do, so I live vicarious watching your videos. The Surf Shark ads, etc, don't bother me. You need to pay your bills. I miss it dearly when you don't post. Please keep them coming.

You are doing an amazing job on fixing up your home and area. I've been watching for about 2 years now. Keep pushing 🫸 .

Hello Jay hard to believe that in a few months that lake will be frozen and then the fun begins have a great weekend

You are working so hard on your beautiful place Jay! Keep it up. We really have enjoyed watching your progress from last fall thru now. Winter is on its way for you

Nice intro into your Northwest Territories license plates. Great fondness for you and during that year my Mom died in the Cajun Country of S Louisiana.

It’s looking so much nicer around there. You are working so hard.

Jay you're doing hard labour out there! You are truly grafting. Your rewards will be worth it in the end.

Gas powered Winch would be perfect for you for the creek, guys use them going up Stagg river for the 2 upper portages for their boats.

The T on the license plate stands for trailer. We used it on our old travel trailer from the 80s.

You should build a small rock barrier/dam at one end of that creek. It would keep it flooded enough to float the boat all the time, then you just need a small ramp to get over it.

Hi Jay. Love your videos since forever ❤. Spoiler alert : Just watched season finale of Alone and William from Labrador won. Shows how tough the people are from your area of Canada 🍁

Wow Jay, that looks so great. You work so hard to keep your cabin and surrounding looking cared for and organized. But in a in keeping with nature way. :) Take care and take care of your back, you want to be able to enjoy this for a long time!

So here in NC, USA it's still pretty warm/ hot. It's been a cooler later summer, but it was blistering hot in June. It's like summer went one month early and now it's creeping toward fall. We still got a ways to go. I always wonder how far north or where abouts you are. Like within a 50-100 mile radius of what populated place. I grew up in Northern NY very close to Canada. I went over the 1000 Island bridge at least 3 times before I stepped foot in another United State. That was Vermont. I was 16. Little did I know then I would drive from coast to coast, walk into Mexico through border crossings 2x's and see the Bahamas. Still, Canada is a place I hope to visit one day again. I love the wild area you are in. Looks very peaceful. Unspoiled by man. Just a piece of heaven on earth. Also, I like how you cook out there. Lots of calories and no explanations why you are eating big. You work hard and cook like a lumberjack. Those steaks out of the frying pan....oh yeah....that's the closest thing to doing anything sexy online you do! Haha!!!

Love the license plates, Gives great character to the place too! Cheers fr. N. TX ❣️🍀

So you lived in good old Sani! I have been there 3 4 times when I worked for the Governor of Nunavut. I've lived in Nunavut for 23 years. The Arctic is beautiful land to live on.

I suggest saving some scraps because you never know when you need that Xtra piece. Plus it can keep you warm.

I absolutely Love what you are doing Jay!!! ❤ Great content!!! I love how you mix things up, and change what you are doing. And the food you make, looks Amazing!!! 😋 Yummy!!! I sincerely appreciate everything you are doing for your Fans!!! I Always look forward to watching your new videos!!! Can't wait to watch the next one Jay!!! 😃

Keep up the good work Jay You're doing great 🙏👍

It’s good you’re aware of fire safety. I and others don’t want you to be that guy either, lol I live in Pennsylvania, the forest fires last year in Canada hit us hard. Love your content! ❤

RU-vidrs: Bushradical and Girl in the woods both were on Alone. They also build cabins in Alaska and Michigan. Bushradical has some of the best tutorials and so much fun to watch. I love watching you and when I see you have posted a new video I immediately watch. Everything is looking good.

Hey Jay, two little comments one with the oil the bottle might’ve have been air lock as you want air to leak out around the funnel when poring the oil in Number two the shed you might want to put up some cross bracing on the walls to make the shed more stable Please keep up with your great videos on your life in the woods and thanks again for sharing

❤I’m stoked you started these videos because I was so bummed with my daily hustle and bustle and drama of the world and I could only watch your videos during winter. It’s nice to watch videos to zone out on and forget all the stress and anxiety every day, family,wife,kids, running 2 businesses, just trying to make it and not jump off a bridge.. thanks for everything you do and channels like yours that just make me feel like I get a vacation when I never do it’s been almost 2 years since I’ve done anything for myself.other than watch RU-vid 🫵👍🏆 KEEP UP THE AMAZING RELAX VIDS🎉❤️ wish I could Cruz out and help build anything you want👍👍I run a construction company and I would do it for free. It would be a vacation for me.😂😂

jay when you ready do the eco part at end your landscaping you may want to look into caring for your trees around you r place make them grow bigger fuller this create cooling effect by caring for tress an acre each direction and it doesn't take much to do but cleanup the forest around your place also protects from forrest fires suggestion just wanna keep you safe you smart you know stuff its ok be humble we like your stuff

Thanks Jay! See you next time 😊

You caught a falling star in the Northern Lights!! So cool!!

Looking forward to seeing you enjoy the winter nights at your cabin.

Hmmm....many thanks. I didn't even know those screw-on spouts for oil bottles even existed. My life is now complete. :)

getting there little bits at a time. Great job organizing and cleaning up. Keep on keepin on Brother.

I hope you do a part 2 on this - would love to see how you really get ready for winter.

Jay don't jam your funnel into the container leave it a bit loose so the air can flow out as the space is taken up with the oil. Have you ever had a burger, hot dog or smokie/sausage with green relish? Cabin is taking shape and don't forget Rome wasn't built in a day.

I like Kyles cabin, nice clean up , enjoyed your video

Jay, sure hoping some fall rains come or you’ll be cut-off accessing the creek (and that your boat doesn’t get a crack). As always some great cinematography and thanks for sharing this journey into fall.

This is the life! Sitting in my bed with a fresh brewed coffee in cold stormy Tasmania. Watching a guy in beautiful Canada. Bliss. The cabin is looking great! 😂

Great progress.....moving the old outhouse was hilarious!😅

Hi Jay, I've been subscribing for about 3 or 4 years or so now, and it's truly amazing to see the improved cinematography by you... 👍 👍 Excellent work my friend, I look forward to each and every new video. Whether you're justing chilling at 60 below in tje tent or sweating it out with the mosquitos and flies, every show is quite the adventure. Looking forward to the next release.

Very nice video. Thank you. Your place is looking really good. I give anyone credit that works as hard as you are. Take care

I keep forgetting how close winter is on us and where you are at its hits months before it does here.. and do what you have to for making these videos and little telling about a product will take nothing from your video.. We live through you most like me are in too old to do any of these things.. Seeing how the beautiful north is on a given day.. make me happy..

Awesome Video Jay, not sure if someone else has commented , but, boil your lake water at the camp, it will save you so many burnt calories

Pull the funnel up a little bit out of the jug. She needs air to drain properly. Cheers Jay!

So good to see you doing this,love your channel!! I see you really love doing this and It’s really inspiring,thank you for sharing your experience and commitment!! It makes my day.thanks.

Jay you have the right funnel and container, just put a same hole on top of the container so the air can escape.

you just up the ante on your video scenes and editing, they are getting better and better now. Good work and keep the videos coming...

I am watching your video an iam very impressed by it all iam Mark from michigan 60 years old wish I was as fortunate as you to live that lifestyle myself it would be a true blessing for ne but iam stuck here in Michigan unfortunately .

Love watching both you and Kyle 😃😃

Those license plates are super cool! Too nice to leave out in the weather

I love seeing you put out more videos man seems like that’s the key to smaller RU-vid channels just pump out as many possible videos as you can and the algorithm will take care of the rest god bless

Looking great Jay.... awesome video 😊

Enjoyed the video and then watching alone as well I hope you were as happy as me with the result. 😊

The quick hitch from Harbor Freight is a good one for the money had mine for 4 years, no problems.

Thankyou, Jay. I enjoy your show.❤

You need some fold down wheels,for your boat which you can deploy as needed, consider a pump up air bag to lift the back up to be able to fold them down.

For next summer, getting through the creek ,you could use your power generator power oack ,set up a electric winch on the bow of the boat ,attach an anchor to the line and the difficult parts of the creek ,winch your boat through,yes it will be in stages . Might save your energy and keep yourself fresh for the day ahead .

Great video Jay. Thank You. Only thing missing from your pasta dinner was some crunchy toasted garlic cheese bread.... lol

Great video lots of wood for later hope to see u soon

Hey, if you're required to wear a lifevest while on your boat, get yourself a Mustang Survival PFD. Way more comfortable and a lot less bulky.

I love Kyle, you guys have the same work ethic. You can Learn a lot from that kid, he’s awesome

Dude love the new vids and I am fully down for commercials. You deserve it man!

I always watch your videos but never respond. Just wanted to let you know Jay you are doing one helluva job getting your homestead looking marvelous!!! Great work!!!👍💪

Love the video Jay keep it up. Coming from Arizona

Thank's Jay, loved it.......from Australia 👍

Hope you cover the sides of the woodshed with wood slabs so your wood won't get wet during rainy or snow seasons, I've seen others make this mastike and couldn't use when needed. 😊

Jay. Love your videos. Great job!

Everything starting to look amazing! You’ve come a long way Jay pat yourself on the back And that food looked delicious like always 😋 yum😅until your next video stay safe and healthy and stay strong and god bless🙏❤️✌🏼
