6 Days Backpacking the Western Uplands Trail

[@jcfmane99]

It’s crazy how long ago this was! Thank for the inspiration!

[@josephallen19]

Thanks man, we are planning a 6 day trip in late Jan, should be pretty awesome, it will be the most days that I have winter camped yet.

[@Joshwaa27]

Love the videos! I am a Michigan man and love the fact that you are close so I can see how you do things in my environment. Great work!

[@paulwastaken]

I just watched this again, in it's entirety ... This is a truly enjoyable video!

[@josephallen19]

paul was taken glad to hear it!

[@observer4322]

KZbin's has been on point lately. It knows I'm out of new Joe so it's digging up old joe and I'm digging it.

[@haroldstange6658]

Sue here, wow You sure have changed since you went on this trip I have watched You for maybe 4 years now, awesome video, You are still entertaining to watch!

[@yukonsurvival2233]

It’s amazing how much your fishing has come along

[@joesanders6898]

That trip reminds me of the trips we use to take into the Enchantment Range of North Central Washington State. Lake Colchuck and Dragon Tail are forever etched into my fondest memories. I love watching your videos. They remind me of the days when I could.

[@josephallen19]

A little bit, the bottom of my sleeping pad got soaked, and it transfered to the top of the pad, the bag got a little wet, but on the 3rd day we were able to hang the gear up, and the sun dried it very quickly. I was concerned, but it worked out ok.

[@liamelliott3779]

The crossing at 1:02 is absolutely beautiful. I love hiking the upland trail in the rain. It's fucking magical.

[@ronaldrose7593]

Hello Joe, another thumbs up. A great video. Take care.

[@suzibenz6734]

love the fall and loved the creek. I could sleep so good there.

[@josephallen19]

no, I'm Canadian. I have a few buddies in Ohio, we went to PA for a trip, and I got the axe from a buddy there.

[@PrimalEdge]

Glad the weather started cooperating off you guys! Looks like oh ended up pretty nice.

[@JasonIrwinTumblehome]

Nice. Thanks for taking the time. Love the D -minus on the nuts. I've just subscribed... now I need to find time to watch all the vids.

[@josephallen19]

Thanks, I'm going to Algonquin Jan 20th for 5 days, should be a good winter camp, there will be a video.

[@happytobehere200]

So awesome. Makes me excited about getting out in the summer!!

[@uptrail7169]

Your backpacking/bushcraft videos are still my favorite. I can't believe that it has been almost 3 years since I watched this video. Also your fire pit is made almost the same that I make mine. I hope that you can make it back to the U.P. again someday. Bob

[@josephallen19]

Thanks, Bob!

[@TomsBackwoods]

Your survivability!!! LMFAO!! I fell off the chair laughing!! .....Looked like Great trip even with the weather. Waking up to a river running through the tent is never a good feeling.. I really liked your scene angels and the update as you go was some nice touches. Great vid Joe Thanks for sharing!

[@Edogawa1117]

Cheers Joe,top video as always. Many thanks for your sharing.

[@Naughtz]

I love seeing a good Canadian boy having fun with Americans and sharing some good laughs!! I'm from southern Ontario and I have a lot of cousins in Michigan and we always have a blast. I killed myself when you said B- for the nuts hahahha. Subscribed and love how you work your gear hard! what it's designed for. That knife was beautiful.

[@josephallen19]

Scott Matthews Thanks buddy, appreciate the nice words.

[@jacksavard8192]

I live in michigan and bave family members in canada im french canadian cuz ,y ancestor was born in france and moved to canada

[@Wintertrekker]

Good trip lads! Great photography. Good mental toughness for dealing with the wet camps and keeping that positive attitude.

[@WmGemmell]

Just recently came across your channel, Joseph. Greatly enjoying your videos. This looks like it was an excellent trip with your friend - the kind of trip that is always there to look back and reflect on. I like how you said towards the end that the rougher weather early on made you appreciate the better weather later on. It is always about making the best of it, even in less enjoyable conditions, but man doesn't a sunny day feel good. Thanks for sharing. Cheers ~ Wm

[@josephallen19]

glad you enjoyed the video..I'm looking forward to some sunny days in the near future! Take care.

[@earthwalker4293]

Enjoyed this video. Your filming techniques have definitely improved in the years since though. Thanks for sharing.

[@treywilly431]

You guys look like you had an awesome time!!! Nice video

[@Mike...921]

Great vid guys, i love Algonquin, been going there over 40 yrs. now, portaging and backpacking! Gained another sub!

[@Knight_Astolfo]

Seems like I've stumbled really far back in time.... I think I'll binge your entire channel before the end of March.

[@danjammo8431]

[@josephallen19]

dan jammo Thanks, man!

Awesome video Joe @13:49 Squirrel!!! : P

[@michaelicuhustle]

TVMii oops I just posted a comment about that critter w/o realizing it was already outed. Lol. Here I thought I was clever... good eye.

[@stefs2447]

Those woods are neat

[@tanaoi]

Absolutely loved that man, thanks very much for the upload I love seeing people I've subscribed too do a few days dirt time. Legend stuff.

[@NewVidDotCo]

okay.. I want to go camping now! Nice video

[@SKwoodsman]

Hey Joe, stunning footage man, i really enjoyed the vid. Looks like you had fantastic time hiking. Thanks for sharing! Matt

[@FilthyHeathenKustoms]

The part with all the water outside the tent made me think of last yr when I lived out in the wilderness for a few months and all it did was rain for a week and it was like that outside my tent luckily I stayed dry glad I had a navy seal issued tent

[@SurvivalLikeThis]

You were talking about food at 13:47 and right above your had i spotted a squirrel! Nice video as well, keep on going!

[@peternewton2200]

Damn I though I was gonna be first to spot it. What a beautiful country to live in.

[@kevinkalden9940]

Thanks from Dharamsala, India. Nice video.

[@Erated78]

Hey Mate, great videos, I enjoy them all.

[@tylerferris1857]

Great video man. Loved it.

[@BraxxJuventa]

Thumbs up Joe!

[@LesDempseySoloLesta]

agree with wintertrekker. I really enjoyed watching

[@paulwastaken]

Awesome video... Some nice camera work too looks like you had a great time (except for the river running through your tent!) And at 13:48 when you mention needing to bring more food a squirrel runs over the fallen tree in the back ground ... Classic! I totally enjoyed this video thanks food sharing.

[@Doomsdaygirl8186]

How do I get the burs out of my knew Condor bushlore? It's the 4.5 blade. Great video Joe. keep them coming! And my mora axe has burs also. Any one anyone!

[@josephallen19]

+patti smith strop on leather.

[@michaelicuhustle]

At around 13:56, in the distance over Joe’s right shoulder... squirrel? Chipmunk? Forest spirit? You decide 😉

[@reddeaddaily62]

Great video Joe (y)

[@fletcherhanna5706]

Hey joe your bye far my favourite KZbinr, if u can remember the trip to Algonquin where u meet up with the school group I am thinking of going to that high school, keep up the good videos

[@brandon1886]

Nice job on the filming Joe! Looked like a great trip minus the wetness early on. haha

[@rivendell60]

Would love to know the name of the lakes you camped at along the trail. The fourth night site did look really nice.

[@JoeOutdoors]

How did you guys make it up the trail? Backstroke!!!! I never have like the rain much, messes with flying R/C sailplanes as much as it does with hiking and camping but without it we would not be here so . . . ;>)

[@Wimpoman]

Get well soon, Joe. 👍 Look, Kyle's all young 'n' stuff! Aaaaand, since I think this is the first vid to feature Kyle, that's one more "thing" on the Joe-Bingo card. XD I hope you've patented that modified spork as well.

[@oms7963]

Awesome video Joe, I really enjoyed it. I was wondering, what pants are you wearing?

[@suzyq1730]

Awesome video

[@woode1969]

great video! seen you sporting around a fishing pole. any luck?

[@coryboyd7958]

Around 6:14 I think I saw satchsquash behind you.!!!!

[@jeremystroud3653]

The throwback

[@josephallen19]

a nikon D3200

[@josephallen19]

hahaha, no luck this time...

[@BushTuned]

Shit! so young joe! hahaha bet this gives you a good throwback. Great videos, and i have years of catching up on these vids. been watching since the start of the year, saw all your recent videos. time to head back in time and see how you became who you are :) peace from Australia

[@katybraaten9284]

Seriously, Joe, do you only hike and camp in the rain or snow? Lol. I'd love to see the beautiful places you go with actual leaves on all those deciduous trees, we don't have a lot of them in Eastern Washington/North Idaho forests, we mostly have evergreens.

[@geoffreylundwall2986]

Lol you look so young ole Joe!!!

[@liamelliott3779]

Hey Joe. What do you use for that gravity filter system? Can you give me some specs on the items you used, weight etc? Thanks.

[@josephallen19]

+Liam Elliott It was one that kyle made, It was a military style filter attached to the dry bag...I'm not 100% sure on all the specs.

[@JapanScott1]

+JoeRobinetBushcraft if you can, it'd be great to get a run down on how he made the filter.

[@SurvivalRox]

Just got a thumbs up from me guys great trip, camera work and views... if it was too easy might as well stay in a hotel...keep it up

[@BrewMonkey1]

OMG A SASQUATCH @ 6:05

[@shroudedunity]

couldnt cut down some small trees to make a platform for the tent off the ground? i hate the rain. i always make sure i have a way to get off the ground if need be.

[@tuckerbenjamin7175]

Great vid, who makes the teepee tent? Looks like a good lightweight option

[@josephallen19]

Tucker Benjamin it is a go lite shangri-la 3. unfortunately go lite went out of business

[@csminvestsments]

Two words friends, "Hammock camping" jk, great video thanks for sharing.

[@krazylacrosse19]

Which campsite was that at 10:50? Want to try and include it in my next trip. Thanks.

[@hapdaddy1]

Nice video .Hoping to get in some long trips in this year down here in N.C.. Planning a kayak n camp this weekend . Goodluck B safe .

[@KLAUSKARES]

So cool .

[@MNgunhead]

Great vid. You guys need to look into hammocks instead of tents. Rain and flooding will no longer be an issue and they are more comfortable.

[@josephallen19]

MNgunhead ah, the old debate...I have camped many nights in a hammock...personally I get a better sleep on the ground..I know they do have advantages, and some people swear by them. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@MNgunhead]

It was just a thought when I saw the water flowing through your tent. I really enjoy your channel. I've learned more than a few tricks from you. You really handle an axe well. Keep em coming.

[@PumpkinJack31]

Would have been cool to see how Joe Robinet handles a sub par camp site ala @14:41. That aside fun video. Thanks.

[@thecoooleshoveffect9582]

I like your tent, where did you get it?

[@josephallen19]

jordan frame it is a go lite shangri-la 3

[@MrPVaSoldier]

Couple of questions. What kind of packs are you guys using, and how are yall setting up your water filtration system. Really am interested.

[@josephallen19]

I was using an Eberlestock little brother pack. Kyle was using a Mystery Ranch pack. The water filtration was, I believe, a British army one, modded to work with a dry bag as a water collector.

[@MrPVaSoldier]

Thank you sir

[@nathanw-t2259]

Nice video

[@SnipezzHeadshot]

Are you from Pennsylvania? Because you mentioned getting your axe there

[@klauszungler4644]

Joe ----- what is the name of your tent????

[@jenteverherstraeten1200]

a little issue with the rain :-).

[@AV.CGPODCAST]

Hahaha I love the mushroom bit ! Be honest did you guys snag 'em? or were they poison?

[@josephallen19]

SpaceManSpliff93 nah, I don't eat them unless I am 100% sure.

[@AV.CGPODCAST]

ha well thanks for being honest bud. You got good video's very informative and now im subscribed ! peace

[@josephallen19]

awesome to hear!, thanks, man.

[@bradevans1362]

Where can I get one of those ultralight sporks?

[@rs6602]

I was wondering what kind of camera did you guys use? Thanks in advance

[@josephallen19]

Nikon d3200

[@rs6602]

josephallen19 Thanks for your response and very nice video!

[@Mrmtl100]

are you allow to collect your own firewood from trees here? I'm planning to go there

[@alberto164]

What kind of tent are you using? Looks some sort of tipi.

[@josephallen19]

golite shangri-la 3

[@SurvivalLikeThis]

What knife were you using in this video? I am looking for a good bushcraft knife next to my Mora Survival Knife. You got a new subscriber as well ! :D

[@josephallen19]

Thanks, I was using an Adventure Sworn Explorer

[@190Michael190]

You should make a gear review

[@coryboyd7958]

Don't you guys ever dig a drain trench around your tent? Thats the first thing they taught me in scouts. LOL

[@passthebreadsauce]

+Cory Boyd Without an incline for the water to drain down, a drainage ditch wouldn't do anything.

[@noahsandgren]

How many kilometers did you walk each day

[@josephallen19]

+Noah Sandgren I honestly cant remember, this was probably my first rwal backpacking trip...I'm guessing an average of 12 ish...

[@noahsandgren]

+JoeRobinetBushcraft ok thanks. I'm going on a 70km backpacking trip in 1 week. I think I'm going to aim for 3 days

[@josephallen19]

damn!, nice...what is your pack weight?

[@noahsandgren]

gear is 12 kg (including backpack). With food and water its 17:(

[@noahsandgren]

My tent is 3kg and sleeping bag is 2

[@yukonsurvival2233]

Nutz D minus that was pretty funny

[@wilhobbs207]

@13:55 SQUIRREL! on the log behind Joe (second appearance)

[@CliffManis]

, WATCHING...

[@picard120]

how heavy was your pack ?

[@josephallen19]

sito right around 30lbs at the beginning with food for 6 days.

[@jisterKIS]

Nuts D-...........anyone catchin that ahaha

[@timjanda13]

What backpack are you wearing ?

[@josephallen19]

its an Eberlestock little brother pack. No, I am not former military

[@Azazelwalk]

I see all these guys slaving away with saws... Just get a chainsaw blade and split it. Tie some rope on both extremities (making handles outa them) and plow through that wood. lol! Half the effort and twice the timber. ;-) Great video guys though. A+ Oh.. And one last thing: Map it for us!!! Tell use what lake/site damn it. Haha.
