THREE DAYS IN THE FROZEN CABIN 

As someone who has been a subscriber from the early beginning, I can agree the wall tent videos are the core of your channel. This channel has that "je ne sais quoi" surrounding it. The extreme temperatures, the snow, the woodstoves for heat, the fresh cooked meals. The all around survival. It's amazing to see how far you've grown. Not only as a channel, but in experience and expertise in these environments. As the channel matured, the addition of the RBM tents and the cabin have a been a welcome sight, as it allows us to see more of what made this channel what it is today. Even your spring and summer travels to the wall tent are fantastic. Keep on doing what you're doing Jay. I think I speak for most of the fans and subscribers that we'll continue to watch and look forward to new videos.

HI Jay, enjoyed how you survive in the really cold. I have a off grid cabin north of Williams, AZ, 45 miles south of the Grand Canyon. It gets to single digits,F°& 60 mph+ winds at times. So what your sharing, I've been there also, just not as cold weather that you have . Be safe & warm.🤠

Love the Cabin

Jay, totally up for anyplace you want to stay and show us. Tent shack, bear tent, doesn’t matter. We come back for you!

Aah … Jay, you brought the music back. I love that song and it’s so fitting for your outdoor adventures. I will never get tired of hearing it in the beginning and end of your videos. I Love watching every one of your videos, especially the ones of your tent cabin. Thanks for sharing all aspects of your outings with us.

Love watching your videos, at first I thoought you were crazy, then I realized, you are Canadian, lol, love the adventures, thanks

Jay this is my third winter with you and your videos. Being a woman I would love to see the cabin become more homey and finished. I think watching the process would be fun. Yes, I love the walled tent but the cabin is fun to watch as well.

I really like what you do and I like the cabin it will be a very beautiful place to live I'm speaking of the cabin the country is gorgeous

I LOVE the videos in the new cabin and I can’t wait until you completely make it your own and it’s a comfortable, cozy, warm, inviting place for you and your guests and us viewers!!

Wow. This was almost a manifestation. On your last video, I asked about your cabin and look what we have here! The time you put into editing and creating such amazing content does not go unappreciated. Stay safe and warm (ish) this winter season Jay. From Georgia

Hi Jay - my wife and I just recently discovered your channel, and we really enjoy it. We are in the early phases of planning our next adventure in life, moving toward a more self-sufficient, somewhat off-grid life. What we love about your channel is the feeling of remoteness and survival blended with coziness. We love to camp, and my wife loves to "make do" with whatever gear/food we have available at the time. That's what we enjoy about your experiences...you are too remote to just run to the store to get something, so you have to plan, bring what you need, and do with what you have. Whether that be in a tent, a cabin, or something else, doesn't matter to us...we just enjoy watching your process!

The cabin and the tent in the same video! What more could we ask for! Just awesome! And all the best of the season to you and your family 🌲

I always enjoy going along with you. It breaks up the day for me. I’m 76 and I love living through all the channels I watch. I’ve saw and learned so much. So thank you Jay, it’s been fun….🙋🏻‍♀️🩵🙏

At 11:25 reminds me of being a kid and watching the snowfall but feeling like you’re flying through space and the snow is like a star you’re passing. Keep up the great vids Jay! Also I always enjoy what you cook while out in the woods😂.

With the current state of affairs in the world, just watching your video gives me some peace of mind.

Another enjoyable video. I sit in my warm, cozy den (in north Georgia USA) and still shiver when your thermometer reads -5˚F. Your meals are always simple, yet tasty. Making homemade bread in the wood stove worked better than I could imagine. Hopefully, you can get the wood stove oven to fit. Good luck with all the renovations you have planned. It's a work in progress that will be fun to follow. Safe travels on the snow and ice.

Lucky lucky lucky....I'm too old to be out that remote but nice watching it done!

Jay thank you so much for sharing your journey. I love both the wall tent and the cabin videos. I am more interested in seeing what possibilities you will create at the cabin but the wall tent delivers serenity with the beautiful views. You are a hard working man. Merry Christmas Jay!

Cabin will a fun project…a nice garage for your snow mobile and stuff when you start the remodel,a close area for all the fire wood, also an area to enter before you are in the cabin

I love watching any type of adventure you do but, my favorite is at your new cabin and am really looking forward to your renovations, etc, etc.

Just by chance found you, and subbed. AWESOME VIDEO, thanks. Looking forward to more. Be safe!

For me, I like the tent shack. The cabin is really nice and will be even nicer as you add on. The tent shack is more rustic.

Greeting Jay! I love your cooking skills and your willingness to try new tools and building techniques. You have such a healthy attitude! Here is my go-to list.....for you, the puppy and anyone who should stay with you: SMOKE detectors and carbon monoxide detectors!!! And Maybe a few extra fire extinguishers. And an escape window and chain type ladder in the loft. The cabin is a long way from help! Yea, I sound like a worry-wort but I have been through a few of these events and lived to advise others on being prepared! Thank you for sharing your amazing adventures! KLR in Colorado. Take care of yourself and those you love.......

It will be great to have a screened-in porch big enough to have naps or sleep in. Tks from Montreal.

Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time they come on Jay. May the lord bless and protect you at the cabin

I would’ve left the shower curtains until you had something of a replacement. Those are much better than nothing to fight the cold with the upper windows

Love the cabin videos. Looking forward to seeing the renovations.

Great video. To answer your question love all your videos regardless of location. Happy Christmas! Ken Morrin. Dublin, Ireland. 🇮🇪

Just a small suggestion. When frying potatoes, the stove doesn’t get the grease hot enough and the potatoes really soak it up. I recommend a portable propane camp stove. It heats the oil faster and more evenly so the potatoes are crisp and not overly greasy. Unless, of course, you prefer them over the stove.

Another fantastic video Jay! I thoroughly enjoy all of your content. The cabin tent will always be a favorite for most viewers because it where this channel started. But change is always nice to. As always I'm looking forward to the next video. Cheers

Hello Jay, I like the tent videos but I am excited to see what you do at the cabin. It has all the makings of a beautiful spot. I'm a cabin kinda gal especially in bear county! You make great interesting videos! I'm always ready for the next one!

A Christmas present from Jay... my husband just poked his head around the door and asked "are you off in Canada again??" He recognises the intro music... 😂. All this from my patio in summertime Tasmania. Best of both worlds. Merry Christmas Jay and to all my fellow armchair travellers.

Jay you are one of the most down to earth people I have watched on u tube. I have been here long time watching you and you truly do have a passion for doing the hard times in the cold and being positive while you do it. Such a pleasure to watch your videos. I am looking forward to seeing what you do with the cabin to put your mark on it and majestic it one of your places to share adventures with us.

always good to have some lock-deicer or methionyl handy for frozen propane stuff

My favorite thing about your channel is just watching you do you. Tent and cabin in extreme temps, or 2 weeks camping away from fires in the summer, I like it all. You try, that's what I appreciate. You're not afraid to try. Like the bread. You are a give it a go and see what happens guy. Your skill at filming and your personality are why I stay.

What a great way to make toast! I haven't seen that before. Thanks Jay!!

Hello! You should try a stove with cold air intake, now you burning the little hot air it produces. It should speed up the heating time. Love from Sweden🤗

Hi Jay good to see you again love watching you cook I have to try the one keeping warm and be safe 👍 happy holidays 🎄⛄🎄

Awesome video, as usual, Jay. As a long time Honda EU2000 and EU2200 generator owner you’re in for a wild ride if you’re using ethanol fuel. The jets clog easily when using ethanol. Do your best to not use ethanol fuel. If you must use it, the only remedy is to have the tools on hand to quickly clean the carb when needed. It’s not difficult but is annoying.

Jay, you never cease to amaze me! I love your cooking skills. Another couple minutes, and that bread probably would have had a little more color too it. I’m sure it was delicious. Love the cabin. Can’t wait to see your lady friend come put her touch on the cabin. Look forward to the next video, very exciting! I’m sure that the next time you visit the cabin the stove pipe will be be ready to except the oven. That is one beautiful addition to the stove. Still trying to figure out how to contact you! When the grandkids come over Christmas, I’ll have a lesson (Ha Ha Ha)! Keep up the Great work, and be SAFE!!!😮

I glad you are using your old intro music again because it fits better with your videos better than any other music 🎶

Hi Jay, as i get older comfort drives me more then anything. The wall tent is the corner stone of your videos but i have to say seeing you progress into the cabin and what it will become is interesting also. Thanks as always for the great content!

Jay and his FAMOUS HOT CHIPS, 🍟 with bread and butter of course ☺ When you get started on your renovations inside the cabin I hope you put in timber steps to the loft that ladder sure don't look safe.. just a thought... you are now in a beautiful winter wonderland, ❄ it looks awesome ❤🕊

I’m really enjoying the cabin videos. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

I like seeing, about the cabin

Jay, thanks for another great video. Nice work on the bread. I still feel like the tent is “home” for the channel. The cabin is a nice new step brother to the tent that could one day become a trusted brother. It’s definitely not a Jay product, but with a little patience and a lot of hard work you can make something out of it. You always persevere in the woods. Thanks again for the peace, knowledge and entertainment.

Love your videos Jay and I especially love your new cabin. Keep up the good work! Always look forward to your videos.

Hello from Montana, I say the same thing about where you are. Hope to some day visit it.

The snow is so so beautiful, like your video 🌨️🌨️🎄🤩

I like them all you look like you enjoy them have fun 👍👍👍👍

Congratulations …. You bought the land and house. Cool

Hi Jay, all the way from Scotland. I started following you as I love seeing the beautiful scenery and watching you get all cosy with the woodstove. Love seeing what you are gonna cook up next, makes me hungry but im normally in bed watching your videos as thats me time. I enjoy all your videos, but I am so excited to see what you do with the cabin. I think some nice wood cladding, maybe island off the kitchen which can be used to sit at and one big window looking out from the livingroom you spoke of adding! Would look just like a big painting. All the best and look forward to seeing what you do with this amazing project. Xx

I’m a new follower so each part of the channel I ❤. You appear to enjoy each part… the tents the shack and the cabin. Great videos and information.

Merry Christmas Jim and thank you very much for your vidéos!

I’m looking forward to more videos from the cabin and it’s progress

Merry Christmas to you. Thank you for sharing your camping adventures with us. 🎄💖🤗❄️🏕️

I love the beautiful scenery around the cabin. I’m excited to see what amazing ideas you have for the cabin, love your videos ❤

I really like the tent ❤but I’m really looking forward to see how the cabin is going to look after you start fixing it up.

Very nice video. Love your cabin.

Thanks for going back to your editing style!

Canvas painters dropcloths would be a great window curtain idea. There is a lot of fabric in the big ones and they are relatively cheap yard for yard. They would also offer some insulation property too.

Thanks for the video Jay. From Toronto, Canada.

That breakfast was right for the cold weather 💪🏼

Hi Jay here’s a name for your cabin Canada at it finest wonderful 😊

I like all your videos the variety keeps it interesting.

Jay, thanks for yet another amazing video and sharing your journey. We have much in common including having built a similar trapping cabin with a friend and many a great times there. Be it your tent camp, this cabin, the delicious meals, the northern lights or that sweet new Expedition you’re running, keep it up! I’m sure you’ll have that place transformed to your liking more every trip. Solar panel, trickle charger and a battery bank is likely in the plans for ease of use and readiness upon arrival. Merry Christmas and cheers!

In my head I was thinking "that bread is gonna burn" and then Jay pulls out a really good looking loaf. I really like seeing you experiment out there with camp cooking. For a first time loaf cooked in a wood stove, it looked perfect. I can't wait to see if you catch and cook anything through the ice.

Merry Christmas! I am so enjoying your snow and looking forward to seeing the renovations to the cabin. Love all the videos.

I love you little house in the woods ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Apologies for not subbing earlier. I'm out of The Peg, travelling east, but missing winter. Thanks for sharing your Dash!!! - Davy.

Suggestion. When you bring the gas line in through the window try putting a cut to length pool noodle on the edge of the window(s) to keep the cold air from coming inside. Also, the space between the outside window and the inside window can make a reasonably good refrigerator to keep food cold without electricity. We used to do that in the dorms at college during the winter. Great way to always have ice cold beer ready for consumption without it taking up a lot of room in the fridge.

I like th tent and the cabin the best.

*1. EcoFlow Delta Pro 3.6 kW Solar Generator. 2. 4 x 400 Watt Solar Panels for your Roof Deck. 3. EcoFlow Smart Propane or Gasoline Generator. The Propane genny is plugged into the side of the Delta Pro and only comes on if the charge falls below the percentage of the internal battery which you can set. Normally, the Solar Panels will keep your solar genny charged up, but for those days or weeks when you're getting very little Sun, then the smart propane genny will kick on and charge up your Delta Pro. The smart propane genny will never come on unless there's not enough charging current coming in from your solar panels. There's no need to be running a noisy gas genny unless there's no other alternative.*

Merry Christmas from Norway. 🎄🎄🌹✨️👍

First time watching so glad you get the opportunity to get away from it all to spend weekend at the cottage nothing like it to energise you.

Love the variety of different videos. Not the same stuff every time. As for the hobo cabin I would go with shiplap walls to make it look and feel more homier. I would definitely build a garage or canopy for storage and a place to park the snowmobile to keep the snow off it.

I'd like to know how feasible it is to either replace that particle board siding with logs, or put up a log exterior affixed to the boards for structural support. That cabin just looks like a powerful winter wind would knock it right over, and not only would the log reinforcement help, it might add an extra layer of insulation against the cold.

Great stuff jay!! Thanks

Jay, I’m loving the new cabin and I’m interested to see what you do with it.

Nice man cave. Definitely great for hunting or fishing, depending on how far away you are from the water.

Your tent shack videos are the best.

Love all your content, I'm there for whatever it is you have to offer. I can't wait to see the transition you and Crystal do to the new cabin. Keep on truckin. ❤

Hi Jay! I love tent as it's where this channel and whole history started long time ago, but cabin is something fresh and new. I hope it will help you grow. Looking forward for rebuild and renovation vids. Merry Christmass and New Year!!

Jay I'm good with were ever you are like you said you have a life outside RU-vid. That's why I love Iike your video's you bring me along for what's going on in your life. You do you and I'll keep watching your video's. I even think it's great that the kids can come out with you as well as your gf. Merry Christmas cheers

I like it all. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Thankyou Jay. I so love your original intro. It has such a feel-good theme about it. Your videos helped me through a difficult time earlier this year. Thankyou.

Great video Jay. I enjoy the cabin and the tent!! Keep them going!

WOW wooooo wat a kitchen it 2 8 23 today wat irony i cooked slab bacon for supper tonight tex mex cooking...and yesterday i cooked wat u did wit that hamber meat no potatoes cause i didnt have any but next time i will AWESOME video amigo ur a bless man of GOD lord keep u bless n safe also amen

Hi Jay, I would like to comment you on your video's because for a long time I watch them all. I want you to know that you bring joy to my life with every video you post. Not to long ago I found out that I am quit ill and probably will not recover from that. It won't take my life but will leed me to a wheel chair. I was always a tough guy like you. Thinking in the snow in the Austrian Mountains.....ice fishing all the nice stuff. And now it's not possible for me anymore. A few surgeries are coming in the new year. and I hope they bring me something. But every time I look to your video's it brings me joy and pleasure because I am in that moment with you on the snowmobile. Every time you take me with on an adventure. And that I am very thankful of my friend. So keep them coming and I'll be with you every time. Happy Holidays and warm season Greetings from Holland Johnxxx

Amazing video Jay. Your channel is one of my favorites. Watching from Halifax, NS

Nice place pal 👍 I'll bet it gets better with time , keep up the good show 👍

I've got a Honda Eu2000i. When I saw you going to fire yours up I told the wife "That thing isn't going to start". Mine is the exact same way...as soon as the temp goes below zero, its a pain to get going! Needs a primer bulb for sure. I think the canvas tent videos will always be our favorite, but any time you're out in the cold chopping wood, cooking greasy food and relaxing, its going to be entertaining. The effort you put into filming and editing and the eye you have for it is what really sets your videos apart I think.

As a new subscriber, and learning, though have camped, you have the Best equipment that most people can't afford and all the multiple hideouts. I will stick with the poor folk trying real life survival that don't own land. I am not jealous, just not wasting my time when trying to show people normal skills. You sold your soul, May God Bless you in this Christmas Season. Hope it was worth it.

The only thing I would do with the cabin is send me the directions.... 😂😂. Another Absolutely incredible video. Doesn't matter if it's the wall tent or the cabin the wife and I look forward to them.

hello thank you for another awesome video i always look forward to your video aND TO ME IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT YOU ARE DOING I ALWAYS ENJOY THEM SO MUCH THANK YOU FROM aUSTRALIA

Thank you so much for taking us for a ride on your snowmobile and also taking us to your cabin. Can't wait to see your ideas there.

the drone footage at the end, god damn! love the cabin, dream of mine... i would pimp the hell out of the place and make it the perfect place to share memories. Well done!

i love how u go out in the coldest cold when everyone else is even hiding their AWD from this weather. Nature beauty is daily if we see.

Congrats Jay! I watch your videos over and over again! Please dont you ever stop! Greetings from Romania!

all of it! love the videos!
