Jay next time you go to the tent remember to remove the battery from the snow mobile and store it the tent and up off the floor too keep it warm and connected to you power cell. Extreme cold is the number one killer of a battery.
@@Marcos-Oscathe battery is weak, and 7th grade science should have taught you that you don't store batteries in the cold as it shortens their life. He will need to change that battery out at any rate. If he cannot cannot remove the battery easily, it would be better to have a separate that he can drive through to keep the snowmobile protected and somewhat warm in this extreme cold.
I think you are the only person in the world that does extreme cold with a calm and funny demeanour. Keep it up Jay and never stop being a class act. Love your videos.
Love the tent videos. I was freezing just watching you. I don't think I could do it. At my stage of life (75 years old) camping for me is sleeping with the windows open under an electric blanket. great video! Can't wait for the next one.
75 not that old. Set a goal of going camping. If you can't make it happen no big deal. But your not too old to do this. You don't need to chop wood and live on the land. Just camp
Did a lot of camping, fishing, and hunting in my younger life. Just no longer has the appeal. Like I said, my idea of roughing it these days is sleeping with the window open.@@KenKaniff-dw4jw
I stumbled upon your channel a few weeks ago, and I have been obsessed. I've watched a ton of back catalog videos, but my favorite have been this tent. My boyfriend gives me crap because I get lost in your channel for hours. The most adventure I do is a camping trip each year in June. But you make me want to go find some land, set up a tent and start camping in the snow. Thank you for talking in your videos a little about what your doing, but not over talking. You have the perfect balance. I get so excited when I see you have posted a new video. Keep on keeping on, Jay. Stay warm up there.
@@dp4491 As if it ever gets to -40c there. That's funny. The Atlantic and Gulf Stream warm that region. And Gander is not at a high elevation. Nice try. And snow starts to squeak around -15 to -20. Eyelashes stick a bit at around -25.
Whenever I see videos like this I'm always so impressed with how people lived their lives in the olden days. All these modern day accoutrements really bring home how hard it was to live in those days, especially finding food to last the entire winter.
i chopped wood like that when only 12 yrs old to heat the family house with a coal fire that also heated our water .most day we had a maiden full of steaming laundry arranged for driving and we never got a look at the flames only drenched by the steam king nappieq😅
@@thebogangamer1 Clearly you've never hunted or fished or foraged to find enough food to last for months....the preservation of food is the end of the process not the beginning and not the hardest part.
Hey Jay, love the videos as always!! The reason why the pot wobbles when its put on the stove after getting snow is because of the metal contracting when cooling down to -30 getting the snow. When added with the metal expanding due to rapid heating as its sitting on the stove, the cold walls and warm bottom of the pot fight against each other making the metal warp ever so slightly. This is why you don't see this is thick bottomed pots like cast iron and more prevalent with thin pots!
Thare are several factors here: 1) the bottom of the pot is warped, allowing it to rock. 2) The snow is bursting into steam, creating a force. 3) The pot rocks, creating a cycle of bursts. 4) As the snow melts, it creates water, a viscious mass damper to the rocking and steam generation. Either that or just freakin' magic!
You're dancing pot is because of the extreme temperature differential heat is always moving towards cold seeking equilibrium. The heat from one side is causing the metal to expand whereas the cold on the other side is causing the metal to contract. So as the two mix you get this oscillation
I adore hearing you say how thankful and happy you are that it is so cold 😂 when thats more often than not a frequent complaint many have. You are a great reminder that its all about attitude, its all about how you choose to take what this planet has to offer. Life is what you make it 😂 Thank you for always being positive even when things arent always ideal.
I hope you all have experienced ice camping because it truly is amazing and exhausting in all the right ways, I was watching you pick up the fire wood and remembering the difficulty working in a snowsuit bighting into your shoulders just so you can reach a few more inches. Ah good times. Thank you for reminding me of the good old times.
There’s heated battery covers that work like electric blankets that are electrically powered you could plug it in to your power pack battery in the tent, I think it’s much easier than working in below -30 degree weather removing the battery, having two layers of canvas on your tent so you have even a small air gap between the two helps immensely with keeping the heat in and insulated and a Big Hello to your Mom for me and was just a miscommunication All The Best Fabrizio
OK, I am being a bit verbose today, but I have to make another comment. I have been watching your videos for some time. I watched early videos when you were so tentative about what would or wouldn't work and how to do things. Now, you are the "old pro." Watching you work your way through your snowmobile issue was amazing. You were calm and collected with a plan 'A', plan 'B' and so on down the line. I had no doubt that you were going to ride it out of there (but I'd still get the battery checked). I did a lot of camping when I was younger on family vacations and as a boy scout, and your videos bring back many fond memories.
The glee when the boiled water on the battery worked: that just made my morning brighter! Thanks for sharing your adventures, Jay. I love your channel.
I feel every frigid degree watching your video. Currently -47C wind chill in Sask. It was -57C a couple of nights ago. I, too, vote for taking the battery inside the tent. Stay warm, fellow warrior!
Minus 57? I cannot imagine it so cold. It's - 8 just now where I am in England. And that's cold. Nobody could survive - 57 outside could they? Hope there are no animals outside in that temperature either. But I suppose there will be.
@@Carolyn272 You're right. I tried stepping outside to clear a little snow from my front steps. I was completely bundled up and within 30 seconds my hands, in leather sherpa mitts, were beginning to freeze. Mission abandoned. What a stupid idea!
I absolutely love watching your channel from the warmth of my home Jay, but your leisure choice is beyond my comprehension. I can't think of anything worse than being in that kind of cold. Bravo, you obviously love it 😆
Your video production quality is crazy awesome! That could be a whole series of videos: showing the set up process of all the cameras, capturing, editing, etc. I can't imagine just how much time and effort it takes for a 25 minute video, especially in frigid conditions. Well Done. 👍
How the heck can somebody actually Enjoy!!! This kind of cold! I am the complete opposite I like it very hot!😂 but much respect to him!!! Tougher than I will ever be…
Jay, ever considered getting a small utility tent to park the snowmobile in with a propane heater? If not try keeping the battery in the tent overnight.
Nice to see the cold snap. Your cold snap you are experiencing hit us overnight in Texas. I am near Austin. 18 degrees! Not normal for my area. Ice on the ground and my new Jeep is iced up. Stay warm my friend!
This camera work makes me genuinely feel like I’m on the journey with you. Thanks for another video, Jay! Finally got a good snow this year where I live, thrilled!!
There must be some days in your life when you just relax..you don't have to run to your work place...you don't have anxiety for the next busy day...❤❤❤❤
Maybe I've been out of the loop for a while with Snowmobiles, but I'm surprised that Ski-Doo doesn't have a pull start. This very situation is why they used those pull starts when my dad worked for them in Wausau in the late 90's.
Jay, it probably wouldn’t hurt to have a small Noco battery booster, for times like that. Glad you got it running. You had my mouth watering with that bacon and cheez whiz. Great video 👍
Love my NOCO ... Wouldn't go without it. Jumped my Freightliner off with it a few times. Amazing tool to have. I have the NOCO 70. Freightliner battery wasn't completely dead... just Wouldn't turn over fast enough. NOCO to the RESCUE !!!
@apar1560 Def agree also if u have any drill batteries as well they are labeled positive and negative use pennies then jumper cables believe it or not they will start a f250 diesel
Man, I bet that’s some good sleep in that text with it being so cold but nice and toasty inside. I love camping in cold weather. Just something about it is so relaxing and refreshing
Jay.... it's about damn time you got the extreme cold! We know you absolutely love it! The colder the better. Great viewing to see how you need to survive out there. Love it. 🙏👌
A good tip to prevent the starting issues in the future is to store the battery in the tent overnight. It will make the battery last much longer. But never charge the battery inside the tent when the fire is burning. 👍
the temperature difference can create uneven expansion and contraction of the metal, leading to the pan vibrating or making noise as it adjusts to the heat. This phenomenon is known as "thermal shock," and it's similar to the effect you might observe when a hot glass is suddenly exposed to cold water
No problemo :) love the videos bud, keep up the great work. Was also thinking one of those stove top “movie style” popcorn poppers that have the handle you turn on them would be cool for the cabin or tent

Jay, a quick disconnect for the battery to bring it inside, will make a world of difference. Use the lightest full, not semi-synthetic in the Rotax engine allowed by the mfg. You will have no problems ever, starting your sled.
I'm not a Rotax guy but I worked with Honda back in the 80's doing cold weather testing in the -35 to -40F range when they first came out with their line of snowblowers that wouldn't turn over in the cold . I agree with you 100% about the motor oil . Oil that turns to tar in the cold will cause any engine to stiffen up .
I was just an ordinary Norwegian soldier, doing my conspript year 1972/73. Those was not the ordinary temperatures during the exercises in Northen Norway, but boy, did we experian colder
live on Manitoulin Island in Northern Ontario. Winter Cold to me is the ‘SQUEEK’ under the boots when we walk in extremely cold weather. I love watching you because you do the cold and I get to watch from the warmth of the house. Keep up the great videos. At the beginning of the video when you were talking about leaving the snow on for insulation, I was like “NO”. The heat will make the snow melt and turn to ice. 🙁.
Thanks for another great video! Might want to try making a little carport or covered area to park the snowmobile while you are out there, it might help with getting protecting it from the cold and getting it started the next day.
Isn't that wonderful that he led us know about the lighter, that is going to be a great tool for the winter to light up fire, I bet some of you didn't know that, we are just so happy that he let us know that thank you so much for the knowledge that you gave us 😂😂😂😂😂
Great video! Love the French fries & steak! Excellent drone footage too!! 😊 Stay warm! We're also feeling the effects of polar vortex in Southern Alberta (similar temperatures to NWT).
My Dad put a hibachi full of coals under the engine block of our frozen car, then tarped the car...., it worked. Our winter adventure at our cottage in Quebec ended in success..
Great video as always .... last winter I experienced some battery issues with my quad in -35 windchill ... because the design of the machine leaves the battery slightly exposed under the front end ... I was able to get it started, but had to boost the machine / heat it up with a tent heater underneath. I now have a battery tender for nights like that, and I cover my machine. Maybe covering the machine at night would help? But yes - get that battery checked for its strength. Looking forward to the next one! I head to my off-grid camp on Friday this week.
Love the stars scene. Really brought back memories when I was on Fraser Island in Australia. Made me remember the time I would sit and stare in the sky and see the stars multiply right before me. Thanks for that
I am from Russia and I have some friends from USA. They always ask me, if how do i live in Russia with such a cold and snowy weather. I will send them to you
One thing we usually do in the winter is reverse our ceiling fans to push the warm air that's risen to the ceiling out and down the walls to circulate the warm air back towards the floor. See that shot of the floor being freezing, I wonder if you get a small battery powered fan up near the ceiling and have it blow upwards if it will circulate the warm air back around the walls and down the floor. Just a thought. :) Keep up the great videos. Really look forward to each new one on Mondays :)
Electric start motors in very cold temperatures can be quite problematic. There is something to be said for the old pull start engines. They can usually be started in the coldest of temperatures with a little know how.
so beautiful... the stars were amazing... and the background music was just perfect... it was a beautiful feeling.. very adventurous.. enjoyed watching thanks.
Jay, may want to try hanging a battery operated fan from the top of your tent. Having it run on low or very slow, will push the warm air downward. Lot of warm air just hanging out up top. You'll save wood as well.
Jay have you thought of getting flooring? I saw interlocking foam floor tile at Canadian Tire. I would think that would help insulate and provide a tad warmer floor. Awesome video as always!
It was -8 this morning in the Mitten State. I work a small amount outside but do have warm clothing for all occasion. Love your videos and the knowledge that i gain from them.🇺🇸🐻
I've just recently discovered your videos and I'm completely hooked! I'm so impressed with your knowledge of the outdoors and your survival skills. Your videos are so relaxing and enjoyable to watch. Thank you for putting this content on You Tube. You're a conqueror of the wild!😊❤⚡❄⛈🌨☃🕯
Thanks for the adventure as always! Just back from moosejaw where the wind chills hit minus 54 Celsius. Kids from California and Boston were up for an indoor football tournament . I can imagine their shock experiencing these temps! Thank you again for what you do, your videos are the best!
OK, you got my blood up waiting to see if you were going to have to walk. Living in northern Maine, USA, I have had to replace many a battery in my time. Fortunately, they are not that expensive, so I just started putting them in my monthly budget automatically. Oh, the things one has to do to enjoy the winter. But I love every minute of it. Thanks for another great video. Stay warm.
Jay! Thanks for another great video. I think that a voda heat stove fan would be an awesome addition for your stove. We use one hunting with ours and they are great.
For the first time since I've been watching, I can actually see and feel how cold it is. We're finally going to get a shot of cold air this weekend in New Hampshire
Down here in North Dakota it was the coldest place in the states yesterday with a feels like of minus 70. Not much better today. Love my wood stove in winters like this. I usually spray the front window of my stove once or twice a season with glass cleaner. I kind of like seeing the fire and getting that mesmerized stare going on. Your food looked amazing!
What I like most about camping, hot tent vids is it reminds me of my life growing up on the farm, like the stereotypical old guy would say, We didn't have all these new fangled toys kids got today, winters in rural northern ohio were pretty boring, darn near every week we "The Kids" would make some manner of hot shelter with old army tent canvas and a small bucket stove or a small cast iron laundry stove with the sole purpose of cooking some hot dogs and baked beans : )
Brother man knows he's tempting a lot of young folk into doing this winter Trek in an absolutely chilling adventure. It looks romantic now, but if you don't know what you're doing, it'll be the last supper you have.
The sound of the creaking snow in extreme cold, that first fire in the stove and crackle is such a surreal feeling! Reliance on something so simple as batteries can sure impact a trip and I know the feeling of asking oneself… “Should I bugger around bringing the battery in or will it work?” Thanks for sharing another cool experience. 🙏
Great video Jay, your cinematography is getting so good over the last 3 years I’ve been watching. Your angles, camera placement, drone footage, and lighting. Bravo… Enjoyed watching you work the problem, and find the solution to getting the snow machine running. Look forward to the next video, your content makes our Mondays a little better!
you really need to build a tent/garage for that thing, right next to your tent so you can pump hot air in overnight and stop it from freezing so badly.
I'm living in a tent because I'm homeless. Im in Niagara falls NY right now it's 11° outside. I'm so cold. I wish I had a wood stove 😢 my tent is a winter tent and blocks wind thank goodness! I just hope hypothermia doesn't set in. Good luck tho you have a nice set up.
Jay very helpful tip on Crazy Cold starting of Snowmobiles. I never knew of the Hot Water Trick, great idea that could safe someone from having a very bad day. I have a BRP Etec 2 cycle Engine in my ski doo. I changed the OEM battery to a earthX Lithium. It was around $500 USD 4 years ago but well wroth it. Never lets me down, never pull the battery from the machine during storage or put a maintenance charge to it. I have hauled it on my open deck in -30 plus a wind chill for 4 hours and it starts first push of the bottom. But 2 cycle is a different engine then your 4 cycle machine. Always watch your Chanel. Great Work.
Jay next time you go to the tent remember to remove the battery from the snow mobile and store it the tent and up off the floor too keep it warm and connected to you power cell. Extreme cold is the number one killer of a battery.
I beg to differ. My ex wife was the number one killer of automotive batteries.
OK then, well why did pouring boiling water over the battery start the machine?
Or carry a portable battery booster.

Jay you need a wood stove fan. It sits on top of stove blows heat onto cold corners! It would be perfect in your tent!
He needs one of those orange insulated tarps.

That tent looks really cosy, is just want to stay in it all day
Your Awesome!!!!! Love your positive energy towards freezing temperatures. Stay Safe, Healthy & Warm❤
So glad you didn't have to walk my friend. I'm always amazed at just how clear the night skies are there. Beautiful and striking.
Awesome video, as always, sir! Thanks so much for sharing! Just spent Saturday night out in -26°f here in Minnesota in my hot tent! So much fun!
you crack me up!!! Glad you got the machine running
Jay so cool to watch your videos the outdoors and fresh air is very intoxicating. That steak looks great with those fries man im hungry.
Thanks for another great video! Might want to try making a little carport or covered area to park the snowmobile while you are out there, it might help with getting protecting it from the cold and getting it started the next day.
Hey Jay. Have you given thought to adding a camping fan suspended from the ceiling to help disperse the heat back downwards?

the sound of the ice. so clear, crisp. Spent winters in Missouri, where we often snowed, iced and dipped. 40 years ago.
Burr!!! Welcome to Canada, "The Great White North" from Bob and Doug.
🌲🍺🥶🥶🍺🌲I'd add Bubbles and the gang and have a real trailer park party!
Isn't that wonderful that he led us know about the lighter, that is going to be a great tool for the winter to light up fire, I bet some of you didn't know that, we are just so happy that he let us know that thank you so much for the knowledge that you gave us 😂😂😂😂😂
Great video! Love the French fries & steak! Excellent drone footage too!! 😊
Stay warm! We're also feeling the effects of polar vortex in Southern Alberta (similar temperatures to NWT).
My Dad put a hibachi full of coals under the engine block of our frozen car, then tarped the car...., it worked. Our winter adventure at our cottage in Quebec ended in success..
Great video as always .... last winter I experienced some battery issues with my quad in -35 windchill ... because the design of the machine leaves the battery slightly exposed under the front end ... I was able to get it started, but had to boost the machine / heat it up with a tent heater underneath. I now have a battery tender for nights like that, and I cover my machine. Maybe covering the machine at night would help? But yes - get that battery checked for its strength. Looking forward to the next one! I head to my off-grid camp on Friday this week.
Love the stars scene. Really brought back memories when I was on Fraser Island in Australia. Made me remember the time I would sit and stare in the sky and see the stars multiply right before me. Thanks for that
Try a battery tender for when the machine is sitting, it will keep your battery working and warm. Great for off season storage also! Dave

I am from Russia and I have some friends from USA. They always ask me, if how do i live in Russia with such a cold and snowy weather. I will send them to you
One thing we usually do in the winter is reverse our ceiling fans to push the warm air that's risen to the ceiling out and down the walls to circulate the warm air back towards the floor. See that shot of the floor being freezing, I wonder if you get a small battery powered fan up near the ceiling and have it blow upwards if it will circulate the warm air back around the walls and down the floor. Just a thought. :) Keep up the great videos. Really look forward to each new one on Mondays :)
Hey “Brave the Cold” camper….your food looked delicious! Glad you had a good time, as I did watching in my warm, cozy home!!
Nothing like a Jay video to start my week !!! Stay safe brother 🙏
Hi Jay it's good to see you on this very cold 🥶 day you love this weather be careful and keep warm god bless
Electric start motors in very cold temperatures can be quite problematic. There is something to be said for the old pull start engines. They can usually be started in the coldest of temperatures with a little know how.
so beautiful... the stars were amazing... and the background music was just perfect... it was a beautiful feeling.. very adventurous.. enjoyed watching thanks.
Jay, may want to try hanging a battery operated fan from the top of your tent. Having it run on low or very slow, will push the warm air downward. Lot of warm air just hanging out up top. You'll save wood as well.
1:28 use moving Pads/blankets over night works like a charm on top of it. The engine will stay warm an start way easier 😜
Jay have you thought of getting flooring? I saw interlocking foam floor tile at Canadian Tire. I would think that would help insulate and provide a tad warmer floor. Awesome video as always!
It was -8 this morning in the Mitten State. I work a small amount outside but do have warm clothing for all occasion. Love your videos and the knowledge that i gain from them.🇺🇸🐻
I've just recently discovered your videos and I'm completely hooked! I'm so impressed with your knowledge of the outdoors and your survival skills. Your videos are so relaxing and enjoyable to watch. Thank you for putting this content on You Tube. You're a conqueror of the wild!😊❤⚡❄⛈🌨☃🕯
Jay, I really enjoy your videos. You do a fine job. Thank you.
Thanks for the adventure as always! Just back from moosejaw where the wind chills hit minus 54 Celsius. Kids from California and Boston were up for an indoor football tournament . I can imagine their shock experiencing these temps!
Thank you again for what you do, your videos are the best!
I couldn't help but smile with relief as well once the snow mobile started! Great video, suspenseful 😂
At least you talk 👄 my friend.silent videos suck 😔😪they get skipped real quickly.😢
I didn’t know man that snow was heavy stuff man wow…..you’re a genius!
I love your enthusiasm and spirit. Been a fan for some time. Thank you!
OK, you got my blood up waiting to see if you were going to have to walk. Living in northern Maine, USA, I have had to replace many a battery in my time. Fortunately, they are not that expensive, so I just started putting them in my monthly budget automatically. Oh, the things one has to do to enjoy the winter. But I love every minute of it. Thanks for another great video. Stay warm.
I absolutely love my Country Scotland and all its natural beauty and Alaska is certainly on par with Scotland.
This video was great ...food and all 😊
This isn't Alaska
@cmerton OK no need to be arsy!! Simple mistake !!!!!!!
Jay Northern Canada is as beautiful as Scotland !
Jay! Thanks for another great video. I think that a voda heat stove fan would be an awesome addition for your stove. We use one hunting with ours and they are great.
For the first time since I've been watching, I can actually see and feel how cold it is. We're finally going to get a shot of cold air this weekend in New Hampshire
Great video as always, crazy ending, I completely understand about testing your self.
Keep em coming
Down here in North Dakota it was the coldest place in the states yesterday with a feels like of minus 70. Not much better today. Love my wood stove in winters like this. I usually spray the front window of my stove once or twice a season with glass cleaner. I kind of like seeing the fire and getting that mesmerized stare going on. Your food looked amazing!
Blows my mind when snowmobiles have trouble starting in the snow
I'm glad you are safe and the boiling water on the battery trick worked.
What I like most about camping, hot tent vids is it reminds me of my life growing up on the farm, like the stereotypical old guy would say, We didn't have all these new fangled toys kids got today, winters in rural northern ohio were pretty boring, darn near every week we "The Kids" would make some manner of hot shelter with old army tent canvas and a small bucket stove or a small cast iron laundry stove with the sole purpose of cooking some hot dogs and baked beans : )
Great ending. Worth the whole show. Be good. Be safe.
Brother man knows he's tempting a lot of young folk into doing this winter Trek in an absolutely chilling adventure. It looks romantic now, but if you don't know what you're doing, it'll be the last supper you have.
I love the look of your string lights. Very nice touch.
Brrrrrrrrrr !!! That looks & sounds really cold there my friend !!! 🥶🥶🥶👍😊
The sound of the creaking snow in extreme cold, that first fire in the stove and crackle is such a surreal feeling! Reliance on something so simple as batteries can sure impact a trip and I know the feeling of asking oneself… “Should I bugger around bringing the battery in or will it work?” Thanks for sharing another cool experience. 🙏
I couldnt imagine how ccccccold. -30 is unimaginable. Does the tent get really warm?
Great video Jay, your cinematography is getting so good over the last 3 years I’ve been watching. Your angles, camera placement, drone footage, and lighting. Bravo…
Enjoyed watching you work the problem, and find the solution to getting the snow machine running.
Look forward to the next video, your content makes our Mondays a little better!
you really need to build a tent/garage for that thing, right next to your tent so you can pump hot air in overnight and stop it from freezing so badly.
Thanks, Was going to come back and watch this during Summer so here I am. Very refreshing! Been 98F..
I'm living in a tent because I'm homeless. Im in Niagara falls NY right now it's 11° outside. I'm so cold. I wish I had a wood stove 😢 my tent is a winter tent and blocks wind thank goodness! I just hope hypothermia doesn't set in. Good luck tho you have a nice set up.
9:43 sky view and music is a perfect combination, It feels like I am traveling to the space through stars❤
That was kick ass! You RUclipsrs shoot killer camera angles and do great editing.🤘
Jay very helpful tip on Crazy Cold starting of Snowmobiles. I never knew of the Hot Water Trick, great idea that could safe someone from having a very bad day. I have a BRP Etec 2 cycle Engine in my ski doo. I changed the OEM battery to a earthX Lithium. It was around $500 USD 4 years ago but well wroth it. Never lets me down, never pull the battery from the machine during storage or put a maintenance charge to it. I have hauled it on my open deck in -30 plus a wind chill for 4 hours and it starts first push of the bottom. But 2 cycle is a different engine then your 4 cycle machine. Always watch your Chanel. Great Work.
