Severe COLD Russian HOT Tent. Hottest night of my life winter camping. 

So close to 100,000 and worth every minute. It’s fun to hang out with you. Your honesty and self-effacing humour is so refreshing. I feel Ike I’m right there with you

Brother Jay you have given a better product review of this tent than any that I've seen anywhere else. Watching this episode instills the desire to purchase one more than the commercials the company has produced; I certainly hope they appreciate you as much as we the viewers do.

Hey Jay, an eco fan would be great for that stove. It would move your heat around the tent and prevent the top of the tent from getting so hot.

Seeing that stove cherry red...nothing nicer when it's-30 or colder. I am impressed with that tent and stove. Well made and engineered.

Everything about that tent radiates quality and coziness, I could probably live in one permanently. Your narration was great and I could really feel you soaking up the experience. great watch!

The footage of the tent, smoke and northern lights was mesmerizing. I could easily spend my night looking at that view and nothing else. My husband once found 2 cast iron fajita pans someone had put in the dumpster at his job. He brought them home, I cleaned them up and they are the best for cooking steaks! Nice score you have there with yours Jay. Once again, you have brought to us an amazing video of your time out in frozen Canada. Thank you sir.

The absolute joy of being alone and not feeling lonely

Imagining being there in -33 deg. splitting wood, staying warm, and eating steak, couldn't be much better. Thanks Jay. Be back with you next time!

Just a suggestion: Those plastic bottles with peppermint oil should be closer to the ground, like on or under the base of your tent. We used to have a mice problem in our basement and I would put a few drops right onto the floor close to the corners of the walls. Mice normally walk along the ground. By hanging them, where you did, the scent will dissipate more quickly the colder it gets. In hindsight it was probably a good idea that you did hang it outside, because those drops, that you put in the FIRST bottle, are Concentrated!!! big time!! and with the heat of the stove that scent would have been way too much to smell - unless of course you like the strong smell of peppermint!! ha ha

Today, Wednesday 1-26. I have a "Cold" day called for the school district. For dangerous windchills. I work for in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I can't whine & complain anymore. Especially, when I see you embrace true, cold 🥶 Temps and rough conditions. Thanks for putting it into perspective.

Jay, I was wondering why I love your videos so much and I figured it out….Of all the folks I follow on RU-vid, I feel that you have this “gift” of making me and probably others feel like your are having a conversation directly to us, like we are sitting right in front of you! You take comments and apply the wisdom being offered and admit that you’re learning and we’re learning right along with you! And yes a string of lights are necessary since the tent is so much darker. Stay warm my friend!

Jay, thank you for these amazing videos. The 40 min you take me away from the hustle of life and show what is important. You inspired me to look at doing winter camping and get away from it all. Thanks for showing the temps and the steak looked perfect. Looking forward to new adventure to come.

I would recommend that the manufacture of the tent change the inside to a solid light color. Camouflage color is not needed inside the tent as it looks dark and cave like sensation. I do not do camping, so it does not really matter to me, but if I did, I would want a solid light color. Looking forward to a new video at the other tent. LOL 🙂🙂🙂

Awesome video. I'm stuck at home recovering from major surgery. Been cooped up at home for months recovering. I absolutely love watching outdoor camping, since I can't do it myself right now. We had a few inches of ice/ snow last weekend in NC and I camped in my truck. I drove out in the woods and made a small camp. So much fun... We are expecting a small snow tomorrow night and I plan on going again. Thanks... Videos like yours has helped in my recovery..

Hey Jay, I would try putting the peppermint inside tent right near the vents. Outside the oil become frozen in deep freeze.

Hey, there's a ton of pine trees out there. I'm sure there are at least some that have good globs of pine sap. That works even better than birch bark for fire starting. I usually start my fires with a dime sized glob of pine sap and super tiny pine branches from a dead branch.

I love coming here to relax and unwind after a hard days work, those shots of the skies , trees and smoke coming out of the tent are the best. Never stop uploading these videos!

I was thinking some of those white LED mini Christmas lights around the tent ceiling would be perfect for lighting. Low power draw and lots of light. I'd let them warm up before powering them on though. Might even be able to get them at a post-holiday sale price this time of year. Great job showing how well that tent handles the cold. Crazy to see nearly 90 deg F inside when it's -27 deg F outside. Wow.

It's so wonderful to see how much you enjoy yourself once in a while your girl comes out and she's with you and that's awesome you have an awesome life you're a young and lucky keep up the good life

Wow Jay, enjoyed the Northern Lights. Thanks for taking us along on your camping trip. Being organized like you are makes camping so much easier and fun. See ya on the next camping trip soon. 😁

Really enjoy how you show going from your comfortable camping spot to a whole new experience and doing what you can with what you know! Not every plan will work while out in the elements. Just keep the videos coming and I’m sure a lot of others, and myself will keep watching!

Always having multiple sources for starting fires is important. TY for telling us this.

Nicely built tent! it's amazing to me that even in the coldest of temperatures, you have something that wards off the extreme cold weather and keeps you so cozy!!

I wonder if a storm flap over top might also come in handy? The shape seems conducive to keeping the snow from accumulating anywhere except the base. I like you aren’t faking it, real and honest! Sometimes you need more than one way to start a fire!

Just getting that time lapse of the northern lights must make it all worth while. Thank you for sharing!

Jay I really enjoy your videos, I love the new Russian tent and makes me yearn to be out there in the wilderness doing what you do, I'm disabled with a weak heart and kidney failure, but if there was a way to get out there and spend some quality time in the awesome nature areas I would be there fast and happy, please keep doing your videos and enjoy the outdoors, I can't thank you enough for keeping hope alive, cheers brother!

Those bushcraft knives are a hoot. I got two a couple years ago when the fad was dying down. I use the shorter one as a utility knife (box cutter) at home, and a longer one turned into a super kitchen knife for slicing fruit to make smoothies, real fast & on the fly. They can be sharpened to razor sharpness & they hold their edge pretty good. I love camping & all but I'm handicapped & wheelchair dependent. So that won't happen anytime. Anyhow I love those knives.

Jay, great video! Thank you for staying and doing this video for us. It was beautiful to watch...loved the Northern Lights time lapse!!

Camping in a lot of snow, it's so beautiful. I am a Korean camper. Winter in Korea is cold, but there is not much snow. I want to do a snow camping like this too. -30! Extremely cold and the tent is great too. thanks for the good video

Been waiting on this one to drop all day!

Great video Jay, as usual! I love all your videos, your simplicity and kindness. Thank you for sharing these awesome moments in our beautiful country! ❤️

have to say the winter backdrop and the cold and a warm tent ...perfect just perfect

That was a cozy video. It doesn’t matter how you started the fire as long as you get one going You must feel like you’re in a warm cocoon. A nice place to relax after working all week Take care and stay warm 🇨🇦 ❤️ 🥩

It makes me very happy to see how much you enjoy your tents and adventures. Great video again .

Good stuff Jay love the tent You're doing a great job you've come a long ways Great entertainment

Stunning video Jay - I love those northern light's, fantastic tent and stove. 😊💫

Mate u should be out in these tents as much as possible, u are so lucky to have this on your doorstep :-) never take it for granted

Lots of comments from me, anyway you could do a holiday let of the other bigger tent for tourists wanting a hot tent experience without the hassle, you could stay in the Russian tent to be close by just in case. It’s just an idea.

Another wonderful video,wow what a tent. You really live in a beautiful part of the world!!

Short daisy chain of approx 3 or 4, 12v LED lamps hung around the ceiling would illuminate that area a treat. Great vid as usual fella.. I always look forward to sitting in my armchair shivering at all the snow. 👍🏻

Jay put the oil bottles in the tent. The air will defuse the smell. Also get some cheep dryer sheets and place them on the floor around the inside of the tent.

Those Northern Lights dancing in the black obis..... What a splendor

What a great video Jay, we could feel the warmth through the screen! Have a good one!

That tent is impressive Jay, if you do any summer camping, you'll need A/C, lol. I wish I had some of that weather down here. Another qreat video, Jay. I'm looking forward to the next.

That cast iron fry pan is a gem! That's all I cook with these days, can't beat the flavor! Great video Jay! That certainly is an impressive set up!

Great video Jay! Loved the tent, stove, and steak, Cheers!

What an amazing set up. Man, fun video of how this gears works Jay, Thanks Man. I spent the weekend sleeping in a small RV where the temps went down to -32 C and we were plugged into electric with a oil heater. Still had to sleep with touques on and layers of blankets. Was FUN as hell, but no where as epic as what you do. 🙂

I could easily live all year long in one of those Russian Hot tents! But with a smaller wood stove! I couldn't live any place that was almost 90 degrees on the inside! A smaller stove......definitely!

Another great video Jay love the scenes and I could just sit back and watch the stove all night long. Just love it. Just thought I would also like to mention that your narrations are just what brings these videos to life. For cooking you could bring in a mini alcohol stove or something similar for the Russian Bear tent. Thank you once again.

Love this guy. Great attitude, positive personality, feels alive in the cold. Keep doin what you love!!

Good to see you showing survival skills of staying overnight in a winter hot tent thanks for keeping it real on your channel

Wow that's a lovely tent, also I was enjoying the music and the northern lights, what a great video. 👍

Hi Jay, that looks like an awesome tent. I enjoy your videos. I’m from New England and love camping but have never experienced the cold temps that you camp out in. Keep up the great work and stay warm!

Another great video-looking forward to seeing more videos of this tent.

I grew up in Northern Michigan. I used to camp in Algonquin National Park North of Toronto. Now I live in the Arizona desert by choice. I like shorts and a t shirt all year round. When I viewed that internal tent temp of 110 F it blew my mind! Summers here are North of 100 F for months at a time and I rock my AC at 80 F. That tent is nuts!!!

Hi,love your videos! IThero so professionally done is a pleasure! 🙂

In Maine when I was young, we had an artistic blast and the outside temperature was 43 below 0 with a wind gusting to 57 miles per hour! THAT WAS VERY COLD 🥶!

Okay, guys... A few words about the color of the inner tent. If you noticed, the camouflage color of the inner tent is located only up to half the height of the tent, and there is a white fabric above it. I think it's clear to everyone that white fabric services for better lighting. The lower part is made camouflaged because the tent should also be practical. If the lower part was also light, it would get dirty very quickly: firewood, caught fish (if you are fishing), you yourself constantly go back and forth... The fabric will inevitably get dirty, it will look dirty and sloppy. That's the whole reason. Perhaps it somehow affects the lighting inside, but something has to be sacrificed. :)

I love that you tell the truth, so many you tubers just show you when it works! Camping in the cold is hard! Keep up the hard work and great videos!

You looked very comfortable in both videos.. but more so in the bear tent! Really enjoyed this one! 🙂

I said it before and I’ll say it again, you need to get yourself a wood stove fan. Its’s free to run and you’ll need not as hot stove to distribute the heat around the tent.

OOh! The sound of walking on subzero snow. The way it grates... Makes me shiver. Like nails on chalkboard. LOl

Another great video. Jay that is some tent stove. keep them coming, we love that you take us along for the adventure.

Really like this tent.

What a treat you gave us Jay! You were very happy and that rubs off lol! But.. Those Northern Lights... O MY! 😲 Plus the additional lights around it.. that sky was on fire!! 👌😎❣ But overall.. the quality of your content is .. sublime! 👌 And watching you making this kind of high standard content really makes me smile, feel good and makes me happy.. I just LOVE snow so much but I live in a Country where we have litteraly nothing to zero snow and when we have it, it is the wet heavy snow type.. I never even, for a couple of years ago, never knew there is a difference in snow types.. lol! 😁 So, just know that you made at least me, and I know many more of the O.G. watchers of your channel, very happy that you pushed yourself through and it makes me very proud of you plus I hope that you see your talent in all of this... you are just a Fantastic photo/videographer! 👌😎

Loved the video. I bought one of those tents but i haven't used it yet but i can't wait until i do.

Hey Jay. I always look forward to watching your awesome vids. Thank you for sharing and making my Monday evening more enjoyable.

Great video Jay. And a inspirational quote too boot. Sometimes you just don't feel like doing something and you get there and you do it and you put yourself to the test a little bit, the feeling is phenomenal. - Jay Legere

I'm a fan of this channel. I think it's your personality, honesty and sense of humor. Keep it up, Jay!

I can feel the cold every time you step. Nothing like the sound snow makes when it’s deeply cold.

The light idea would work good. Awesome tent, cheers!

I bought a Russian Bear Tent as well,... probably the coolest and warmest tent I have ever had. The stoves are awesome and it's the last tent you will ever need to get through tough weather.

Love the channel Jay! I wish i could afford that tent. Its the best all weather tent i have ever seen.

What a super enjoyable video!!!!! Thanks Jay!!

Good job, Jay, filming the Northern Lights. That's something we never see here in Arizona but when I lived in my home state of northern North Dakota we'd see them once in a while. Cool!

Dear Jay, this is an awesome video, so beautiful pictures, also the northern lights have been pretty! Great! This tent seems to be a really good one, and the stove is amazing! 40° C, this thing can make a sauna out of it. I love these kind of videos, I´m looking forward to the new ones. Many Greetings from Wuppertal, Germany! 😃

Been waiting for your fantastic video enjoy watching your videos 👍

Hello Jay, the new tent looks amazing, the best day in the whole week is when you post a new video, have a great day Jay 😊👍🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Jay! Those lights! I am jealous, happy you are enjoying your Russian Tent, it sure looks cozy, thank you for sharing a piece of tranquility with us.

Love the feather stick and birch bark fires. When we were young we used to (of course when there was sun) make fires with a magnifying glass. This didn't impress my Dad so sometimes we got whacked with the wooden spoon. We were stupid hey? Why didn't we try and set that darn spoon on fire. Oh boy oh boy oh boy...the ignorance of youth! That tent and stove are awesome. It looks so warm. Love how you enjoy your time in the wild. Wishing you tons of adventures in 2022 and thereafter. Enjoy! You need those cottonballs cos you know what they say when they get rocking..hehe..ok, bolls not balls.

The new tent is looking great and well capable of its design intentions. Thanks for the nice dialogue you put on the videos. Defiantly life on the edge of survival, making it look easy but like you say you gotta put the work in. Only the mice to sing to, or howl at the wolves. No don't howl at the wolves, not a good idea.

Awesome Jay! Thank you.

I like that you were honest about the fire starting.

I would never come back to the outside world, I would rather freeze to death in the wild than to die in these days out here. Never thought I would ever see my country in the shape that it is in right now . Thank you for sharing God Bless You .

Wow, I couldn’t help but think of Jack London and call of the wild, that’s a special place you have there, and that steak looked amazing!!! Thanks again Jay, certainly the highlight of this Monday 👍😊

Be careful Jay. With that tent and all its amenities you could become a glamper.! Gotta love Mondays. !

I just love you and your channel! Excellent content, photography, cinematography, videography, and your laughter! I love the northern lights shots. I hope someday I will be able to actually see them. And that steak you cooked was mouth watering to me! God bless!

Great video, love the swinging door in the bear tent ⛺ 😀 👍

Great video. Really nice set up. Great shots of the Northern Lights. Could see the wonderful colors. See you on the next trip.

Hello, such a Great video. Its very relaxing to watch. Myself like beeing in The Woods... The forest. You explains very well, and make me feel like go out and live in a tent too... Where i live in Sweden we have a "farm" in The Woods with pigs, hens, cows and horses and so on. Its only 25- 30 mins walking. Yea... Its nice I Will continue looking at thoose Great videos. Thank you for sharing this! Christer

Wow Jay you’ve gone viral. Feel like I came in on the ground floor early on. As a fellow 🇨🇦 proud of you. Glad you read about the peppermint essential oils. Feel like I may have played a very small part in that decision as I was one of the first to suggest it. I can’t believe the views you are starting to receive. You must be excited. I’m excited for you.

Wow love that swinging door on the tent, another great episode Jay. Glad you toughed it out all for us, thank you....

Perfect timing.

So nice seeing the joy you find in things… Makes you really think about our value systems today…

Once again a great vid to watch. Monday nights are the new Friday. Look forward so much to your video being posted. The tent looks great, bit overkill hear in blighty though. Still good test and review. Northern lights are amazing. Keep up the great work.

This video has helped me so much this morning. Thank you.

Hi Jay!! Wow... the night sky was pretty energetic with the electrojets from the aurora borealis (in the intro). Brilliant idea to film it. Thank you. It looked like a tornado of energy formed. Quite stunning. I am more & more finding this Russian Bear Tent is practical for the value. One thing you can do to repell pests like rats, get a box of moth balls. Many pests do not like the scent. Cockaroches hate it too. 😁 just place a few outside near the edges of your tent. In fact, line them all around the tent. Just leave them there. lol You can also place them inside the tent ... just uae less. You will see the amazing difference. No more droppings. It is an old time remedy from the 1800s during the outbreaks. My great grand aunt told me and so have my grandmamá. Note: With essential oils, cotton balls are best to use as they will not dry up fast like tissue do. And then with cotton balls, you can use less drops of the essential oil. Caipisan (cayene) is a good choice too. Bears will not enter the tent. 👍 Thank you for sharing your experiences. They are life long & helpful tips. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ❤🥰🙏👵

Thx Jay. You take me places I wish I was. I always enjoy your videos.

Don’t feel bad about fire starting. Seen people who always have about of 20 bottles of lighter fluid on hand to start a fire

I don't need one of those tents, but I want one! Damn it Jay your not making this easy. Lol. I can start any fire with two sticks,.......as long as one is a match. When it's minus colder than a mother in-laws kiss, no matter what stove you have, it will suck the firewood out through the chimney faster than rootbeer through a straw at a kids birthday party. "Fine Tent Dining With Jay" carnivore edition. Those barrel stoves, like in your other tent, are nice if you have lots of wood to burn. They're not very efficient. Love the shots of the Northern Lights. We had a good display last night here in northern B.C. Till the next video. Cheers. 👋🇨🇦
