I love how you can talk to us viewers like we've been friends forever. Love your content, Jay.

I like that you call it a firearm. I can tell you respect it for what it is and what it was for a long time, just a tool. A tool to do things for hunting and safety etc. People treated them like tools and respected them. I think nowadays people don't have that kind of mentality.

That's a common juniper, Jay, and a very nice native. You have same season berries on the bush. The blue are ripe, the green will ripen later. The powder coating on them is called bloom and is a protective layer to help them reach maturity. Doesn't matter to me which cameras you use, just love the content!

It’s not the way a video looks to me. It’s content. I miss the North, having lived in YK for 33 years. Don’t miss the bugs anymore. But you get used to them while your in the thick of it. Keep up the good work! ❤

Hi Jay! I’m Connie from Pennsylvania and I’m 67 and I will watch your videos anyway and anytime! You are very knowledgeable, smart, kind and honest! I also will eat breakfast anytime of the day!

It makes me so angry to see that with all the knowledge we humans have we still have people on this earth dumping their trash like that. 😢 Keep up the great content Jay 🙂 #your#1fan

Every video is better than the last because I’m getting to know you. You’re a nice man with a big heart and a love of the outdoors.

I love the sound of crows. I'm glad you picked up their calls. Thank you.

The GoPro works for me! That light really helped when it got dark. Maybe it was just me but I really couldn't tell any difference in the quality of this video and your others. I watch your channel for content. You picked a great campsite. I'm with you. Breakfast for dinner is one of my favorite meals. A bowl of grits topped with bacon and a couple of fried eggs with buttered toast and orange marmalade is as good as it gets! Plus, a strong cup of black coffee! Safe travels and I'll see you again...real soon 😉

Hey Jay, really enjoyed this video! I love seeing the daylight at midnight, that’s wild! As for the GoPro….. if you hadn’t told us, I would not have known! It did a great job! Keep your shows coming, I’m a loyal fan! I wore my J in the woods tank top last weekend, so comfortable and cool!

Hey Jay. Nice video! I say GoPro all the way for outdoor filming. The quality of the videos is great and you won’t have to lug around a bunch of other equipment. Like so many others have commented, we come to see you man. So, whatever makes it easier for you to get out and do this - chose that. Finally, breakfast all day everyday here too!

Jay: The easy way to let the air out is to open the valve just before you get up and let your body do the work . Shut the valve when you hear no more air. It then will compress into a very small roll. The shorter mattress that goes from shoulders to hips is sufficient for comfort and take up less space in a pack. Great videos and make me want to get out my tent and canoe and head for an isolated spot on a northern lake.❤

Very nice video! Yes to the privacy and most definitely to breakfast anytime of the day or night! Personally I do not mind the Go Pro at all , I think it does a really decent job filming and the new add on light really made a big difference. Thank you for taking us along Jay , I look forward to your future videos. 👍👍

The go pro looks great and doing a whole video using it looked really good too. I like a nice mix of camera shots but ultimately it’s the content that matters the most. the gopro is just another part of your camera arsenal 😀

The GoPro looks good Jay. They’ve come along way over the years and they can produce a great image. There’s another outdoor channel I watch and they only use GoPros. The content is what makes the video. I appreciate quality videos but the you and the camping content is what I love. Keep up the great work Jay.

I always enjoy how detailed your other videos are with the higher-end equipment. You can really tell you put a lot of effort into it. However the GoPro worked great for this episode. As long as you take us along for your trips, either camera will work fine. Great video as always Jay.

Great video Jay, great shelter , great dinner , which I agree can be eaten at anytime! Your rugged area is great ! I think the film is great ! Your just down to earth kinda guy ! Thanks for bringing us along !

Brother your content is awesome regardless of what your filming with. Just keep making camping videos! That’s what I like watching of yours!

Ugh -- all that trash -- makes me so sad. But the place you found was beautiful. I love your passion for the outdoors - doesn't matter to me what camera setup you use - your enthusiasm carries me through the videos!

Breakfast all day one of my favorite yes 👍👍❤️💖🇺🇸

The bugs in the colder areas in the summer are unreal!!!! Got the wife to watch this video for the first time and she too is now a fan !!!!

It’s so good to watch you enjoy the summer. I know that you’d rather be a snowJay bird in the winter but this seems to suit you well. I have to say that I am in love with your kettle!! It is adorable!

combo is great, no issues with go pro, and also appreciate your work with the other equipment too - really enjoying the new things you’re trying

Great video. The camera was fine. The light was great inside the tent. Thank you!

Love sharing these getaways with you. Seeing your parts of the world is so refreshing. I care for my 92 year old mom and 14 year old grand puppy so I’m kinda tied down. These escapes keep me entertained and refreshed. Vicariously enjoying your freedom Jay, so appreciate your sharing. 👵🐶🥰🇨🇦

P,S, I forgot to say that I really prefer to be alone when I go camping. I am not a fan of campgrounds.

Loved the summer camp, and loved you showed us the scene at midnight. Beautiful. And why not have breakfast whenever you feel like it?! Sounds good to me Jay. 👍

I enjoy your channel bc of you and the content you put out! I enjoy the little tricks you’ve learned from trying other things. Most people come to your channel for YOU!

I'm a 52 yr old wife with nothing in common with you but love watching your videos! The go pro was fine, use it anytime! Take care!

This is next level Brother J and outside of the winter camping experience. I absolutely love and cherish the winter camping and would prefer that over summer for many reasons. That said, I Love you bringing both experiences to us. Always inspiring. Your living the Dream Jay..

Can’t get enough of the drone videos. Always gives a great perspective of the area you’re camping in That tent is super cozy My son has made juniper infused vodka or you can use gin. Never tried it. You don’t need many berries The GoPro was fine . It’s always nice to try different equipment Really enjoyed this video..well done 🇨🇦❤️

I can definitely appreciate the higher production quality of your videos. I wouldn't say it's necessary on every video so maybe a combination of the two? But your ability with the higher end kit really shines through in your videos.

One of the very few channels I like the video as it starts because I know I’m in for a great video, keep up the good work Jay

I love your videos no matter what equipment you use. Love breakfast all day, it is my favorite . Jay always love your meals gives me ideas for me when I am camping. Keep up the great work.

Hey jay. I’ve been watching you for a couple years now and you mentioned commenting. Your are an inspiration. Since I started watching you I have been spring and fall camping in southern Ontario and I love it. Not ready to winter camp yet and summer is to warm for me. Keep the amazing videos coming cuz I wanna see more.

Awesome Video! It looks like such a wonderful way to spend a night. So peaceful and quiet. So good for the soul. Thank you for sharing the adventure.

Remington has a 12 ga shotgun/slug gun combo where you can change just the barrels for different types of hunting. For a really good all around rifle. Look for something in a 30-06 caliber. Big enough for larger animals and not too big for medium sized animals. If you are looking for a side arm for protection/hunting 357, 41, or 44 magnum revolvers would be my choice. Go pro did a fantastic job. We viewers tend not to think about all the logistics that go into putting these type videos together.

Jay, you just need a diffuser for your video light. It will soften the shadows, spread the light and take down the harshness a bit. I'm sure you can buy a soft box for that light specifically, but you could also do a makeshift diffuser, with some opaque plastic, like milk bottle plastic, etc. Heck, a small plastic juice bottle might just fit perfectly!

Doesn’t matter-content is most important and with good picture and voice clarity

When I was growing up, we would often have breakfast food for supper.

Juniper berries are awesome cooked in with almost any meat dish for extra flavor. Also great if boiled in a tea. Just look for the dark blue or purple colored ripe ones myself, but know people who also cook with the green ones.

Great job Jay…you do an excellent job with your videos. Make me feel the experience as if I am there too.

Jay the light is fine ,The go-pro is fine you worry to much just chill an have fun !!!

As someone who grew up with firearms, and a instructor, my preference is easy. 357 pistol & camp rifle make a great combo, for personal protection & hunting. Just a suggestion, but a rifle and pistol using the same ammo just makes sense for camping out. God bless.

That is one great tent. I like the “Bakers” tent opening wall into an awning and then a bug screen! I have to get one, and will.

Wow, you really lucked out with your spot! Beautiful. I continue to be amazed at the design and structure of tents now! I’m 67 and we certainly didn’t have anything as easy and functional as you have. So I enjoy the different products available.

Jay whatever you do comes out great. I love all of your videos. Let's try the go pro for a few days and see how it works. Just keep knocking them out. I love the dialogue we get blow by blow. We are all learning right along with you. You do the work we reap the benefits 😊😊

I like to watch you camp and you always saying what you are going to do 👏👍😊🤩

Bears are always a worry. Sometimes just the noise of a .357 going off is enough to scare them off. Great videos!

I like seeing the different tents.

Good starter shot gun is a 20g good for all types of birds just have to use the right shot size and can shoot slugs. My daughter started off with the 20g and it’s great for her and I like to use it as well. Good starter rifle would be 270 or 30-06. Both great for all size big game from Caribou to moose.

So sad to see the garbage everywhere. I will never understand why someone would do that.

Love the light very nice 👍💖🇺🇸

I love your videos and your perspective on life. It's really inspirational. I wish I was in Canada. GoPro worked fine to me. Can't wait for the next one!

Does not matter the video means Jay., you always do a great job. I spray myself down with bug spray the same way. Thanks for sharing another excellent video!

. Your tent is very much like the ice fishing tent I have. Mine isn't camo color, has two doors, that open the same way yours does, and has slightly smaller windows. Sets up exactly the same, has the "wings", around the bottom, that you put the rocks on, is a 1-3 person, and the floor is separate, too. The big differences are, that none of my sides flip up, to make an awning, and mine cost less than $200., as opposed to $1,400. You're right on the privacy aspect, and that breakfast is great, anytime of the day, or night. Enjoyed the video.

Yea I'm from the UK and we have an all day Breakfast at alot of cafés and restaurants, no matter what's on the menu if it has an all day Breakfast you can bet your life that's what everyone will be eating. 🍳🥓☕

I think the content is the most important Love your videos Jay!

Perfectly right to pick the more protected spot. I dont like camping on campgrounds unless just to get a night sleep while driving to a more remote wilderness area.

The perfect site, great call on moving to the second perch! GoPro is absolutely fine by my take, it helps the rustic feel - and breakfast is a solid choice any time of day. Thanks for all the videos. Cheers!

Breakfast all day yes and I love dinner in morning too

Lovely view hard to believe 12am wow

I'm going with both type of cameras Jay, go-pro is good, but Canada and where you camp is so beautiful, higher end lenses etc. make for a better video. Yes, brinner is always acceptable. You might get one of those little butane burners for coffee. If you want to only carry 1 firearm, I'd go with a 30/30 Or 12 gauge, multiple shells.💚👍👍

GoPro did very well. I’d say both can and should be used as your needs require. Great vid!!

Hey, how are you doing, and you are right breakfast at any is a good thing. And I am glad you are doing thing in the summer. Always stay safe and sound and take care

I think if I met you in person, I would like you. Your content is what makes watching educational and fun.

I’m good no matter which camera you use. I really don’t see a huge difference with any of them. I just really enjoy your content . . . Thanks!

Don't for get the maple brown beans and stewed tomatoes it completes the meal and yes breakfast is one of my weekly dinners.

Love the scenery and the cooking you do wonderful information

I thought the GoPro did a wonderful job. I believe breakfast is best at dinner time. Sometimes we do bisquits, gravy, hash browns, fried potatoes and onions and eggs. I consider it comfort food. If I don't do gravy i sometimes make pancakes. All depends how we're feeling. Great video Jay. Tyfs God bless you

Have you ever used a mummy bag? Honestly there my favorite. I was at a garage sale and found an antique military 1 that I believe was hardly used if at all. The woman selling it had I believe $10 sticker on it. And I wouldn't argue with the price because I knew what they were worth. I walked away with a smile on my face.

Go Pro... YES...YES...YES!! Looks great! Yep! breakfast any time of day.❤

Combo cameras, but really the content is more important than the camera! Keep up the great work Jay!

sorry to see all the mes that people leave out in your beautiful countryside sorry to see ken from kent england i spent time in valcartier in quebec and camp wainwright in alberta as was in the military in the 70ties

Great vid Jay! Always looking forward to your next adventure!

Midnight pee... I use a Deluxe Male Urinal by Mansfield. It can hold up to 32 oz. ...wide mouth with cap (2" diameter). When sleeping in sleeping bag in cold weather, I just have to sit up (without getting out of sleeping bag), open container, do my business, then put lid back on, and go back to sleep.

I was so excited when I saw a new video up ! I really enjoy your videos .

Video was great to me Jay. No quality issues at all.

I have a set of different sizes cast iron pans and I wouldn't trade them for anything. They are about 60 years old now and cook just as good as when they were new, actually I think they cook stuff better than when they were new. Yes, that second spot was way better than the first spot you saw. The bugs looked insane. Good thing you always go prepared. Stay safe and don't lose too much blood to the mosquitoes. I'm thinking that your new puppy isn't old enough to go camping yet. Looking forward to that day.

You're awesome Jay! Love your videos!👍

Berries don't all form or ripen at the same time, so eventually, barring dislodging from wind or animals, they'll turn blue.

Great video Jay very nice area up north the camp site is number one.

Love your videos Jay. Not being able to get out and camp due to health reasons, thank you for filming your adventures abs taking me along. And to answer your question about which camera to film with I think using both would be perfect. Use the gopro for more of your action shots and then use your other camera for more cinematic shots. Thanks for allowing me to tag along thru your videos.

Loved the video! Everything looked fantastic 🤗

yes you feel like a friend as well! love all i have watched!!!!!!!!! keep on doing what you do dude love it all!!!!!!!!1

Ha jay thanks for sharing your adventures with us all that watch .and I agree about having breakfast any time of the day.i used to like it when Mc Dounld's used to have all day breakfast that was before COVID hit the whole world.

Breakfast? Yes sir! Anytime, anywhere, any camera angle...I'm down for breakfast!

It is special when camping alone. That camo pop out tent was interesting. For bears I use the bear jell that shoots jell. Instead spray. If the wind is blowing; Spray can blow back into you face.

1) I don't mind the go pro 2) I do like camping with my mates but away from camping areas 3) Brekky all day is great! 4) I'm Australian, so see the Sunup at Midnight is madness to me lol 5) That light is pretty good 6) Great video as always :)

Love breakfast all the time

Try the coffee grounds, unused and placed in a metal container shaped in a dome and just set to smoking with a torch or lighter. Everyone is swearing by it to get rid of mosquitoes !!!!

Hi Jay, another wonderful video. Beautiful spot for sure. You do have an good eye for camp sites and scenery. Thats a cool tent. I like that it has an area for the stove inside. Nice feature. Breakfast at midnight looked yummy. I loved the light sky background, very cool. I've never seen anything like that before. The NWT is amazing to see winter or summer. The GoPro light was pretty powerful. Nice change Thanks again

Yes, breakfast anytime all day any day ❤ ...Alan in 🇨🇱

I dig the great cinematography you do but the GoPro is easy and nimble so a mix is cool with me. :)

Video quality is really important for me. I watch my content on my 50" 4k tv so yes, high end gear makes the difference for me

Great content again and honestly the video looked good to me, yes, the light helped when it got a little darker but even without the light, I was fine the way it looked.

Try using tea tree oil, lavender oil, peppermint oil for mosquitoes. Apply to your skin, works great. Also peppermint oil is good for mice.

Go pro worked with that tiny light . Thank you for the detailed use of cast iron cooking and care on a fire stove.

Great video Jay. Scenery beautiful.

Yes! Breakfast all day! 🍳🥓🧇🥞
