EXTREME FREEZING CAMPING. COLDEST NIGHT ALONE

This is one of the coldest nights I have ever camped alone in the wilderness. -41 is absolutely freezing and dangerous. But I am well prepared and sheltered from the extreme cold in my canvas tent.

I have lots of wood for my wood stove. I have many players of clothes, food, tea, and a -40 sleeping bag.

I can feel the air hit my lungs when it is this cold. It almost takes my breath away. But there is something I absolutely love about breathing that bitter cold.

On this night an extreme cold warning sets in, making it magical.

I am in the remote wilderness and there is no one near me for miles around. But I have a first ad kit, and a way to contact home in case anything goes wrong.

Come with me for the adventure, and stay for the extreme cold.

Hey folks. I am not offering prizes. The scammers are out in full force. If you don't see a check by my name, then the comment is not from me. My account is verified. Scammers are not.

To cold for me I'm old and have health issues but I enjoy watching youngsters showing the gear they use and others who build shelters.

When I was fourteen, 50 years ago, I remember walking to school in -44 F. The impacted of that 6 block walk in a pristine frozen world ignited a lifelong passion for it. Thank you for this, it brings me back.

My dad made a tent like that with 2x2’s back in the late 50’s and an old green canvas tent! We would camp out in New Hampshire in the winter. Thanks for the memories! I remember using newspaper under the sleeping bag on the cots for extra protection from the cold and it worked great!

I am a born and raised in Montana guy. This brought back memories of camping with my Dad in a hunting cabin… no power… in the middle of winter…. when I was a kid. Cabin is in Big Timber, MT and surrounded by wilderness. An oil lamp and a big old cast iron “Garland”, wood burning cook stove were the amenities. The sound of the snow squeaking…. and the sound of the wood being split…. brought it all back. I think that when it gets that cold outside… the air almost smells different…. Anybody else find that to be true? At -30 F and colder…. on a windless night…. the still quietness is truly amazing…. only if you have a toasty, roaring fire. 😊 Thanks for the video 👍✨

I’m almost eighty four years old, but my heart is with you when you’re camping 🏕️ out in the wilderness and cold.I just love camping with its limits. Cooking 🥘 and eating in the wilderness, things always taste better over a wood fire 🔥 and out of the can meats- deviled ham is good for sandwiches with eggs and toast and coffee……Have a great time and think of me when you’re camping out there 🔥🔥.D M.

I remember it being that cold when I lived in Alaska. I never camped in it, but I walked and hiked in it... and there was something magical about hearing the crackle of the cold and the "squeaky" footsteps on the snow.

The extreme cold always makes nature so still and serene .

It’s a thrill to you, for some people it’s how they live, every day, cold and hungry! I’m glad you love it!

[betty]

I can’t say I understand people loving the cold but watching you brings a new respect to those who love to get out and camp. Blessings to you sweetie

When the snow squeaks like that when you walk on it, you know you are starting to approach real cold.

I was in Korea in January/February of 1973. Serving In the Marines. We were on a cold winter exercise. Our camp was on top of the highest point possible. Our radios work line of sight so had to above all the other units. Our second night there it got cold very cold -40 with 40 mph wind making fell like -81. We were in insulated 12 man tents we had two kerosine heaters. We stayed warm enough. Then 3 days it got up to 70 + degrees. We were on that mountain for 45 days eating C rations.

That scenery is breathtaking. Nature is so beautiful, especially in winter, it’s like something out of a storybook

Those Ariel views with the smoke from the chimney are awesome. You’re blessed Jay. Thanks for taking us along.

Best thing about winter camping .. no bugs!

[cherylleewilson]

Thanks Jay. Those drone shots are stunning. It takes a true outdoors person to be out in that cold of weather. I've personally been out in that low of temps once when visiting Chena Hot Springs Alaska in early February several years ago. We saw the Aurora. I've never been that cold since having that experience. It was a great memory. Glad you are sharing your memories with us. Looking forward to your next video.

I don't even like camping in cold winter, but I don't know why I love watching these videos on extreme cold camping.

[Nunya_Binness]

I love those bitter cold nights and early mornings, it’s like sound freezes, breaks and falls to the ground before it reaches you. So quiet and peaceful!

When i was young(66 now) i loved camping in brutal cold. Of course astronomy is what got me out to remote and dark places but the camping and skywatching was my thing. I have been watching these videos just this past few weeks and i sure got the urge to go and get away from things for a few days😁
