Awesome to see you back Joe

Weird to think about how productions like this will impact linear television over the next few years. History and Discovery out here spending hundreds of thousands of dollars a season on a show to *maybe* reach the same level of production value you're able to get ALONE. Wild. Can't wait to see the rest!

I somehow stumbled onto this video, that was my trapline in the mid 80's before it was a park. I used to work the area between Lower Wabakimi and Palisades river. Lived in wall tents and snowshoed. Fought fires in the summer. Those were the days. Thanks for the video, brings back memories.

[@jturner198925]

Hey Joe, just wanted to say I’ve been watching you for about 4 years now and I’m so happy about how far you’ve come. From your intro, your labeling, cinematography… all of it has come such a long way. I really hope you keep making videos for a long time and thanks for sharing your adventures with us 🖤

Joe - Your evening silhouette shot at 58:55 is just one of those iconic theme graphics built just for you to use as a future screen grab. It is such a superbly pure visual, unscripted, clean and well composed, eye grabbing and so appealing. I think I ran out of superlatives to underscore my appreciation . Thanks so much for taking us along on this trip!

[@versacechang1521]

I wouldn’t say I “am alone” but I can go weeks without talking to anyone, I go years now without anyone, friend wise no bars, no gossip. Just talk to the people I see when I go to the grocery store, this started when I lost my only real friend and when I got a job I work from home. The one thing I learned from living like this is how peaceful it can be. Once you get used to it, you realize you don’t have the pressures of society on you, don’t have stress of people around you drama. You never feel rushed, it makes all the little things in life like sitting by a lake more enjoyable. You’re no longer thinking about things you usually would, but you’re taking in how beautiful what’s in front of you is

[@DCOutdoors]

I'm only five minutes in and I'm amazed by the quality. That intro alone was fire. Can't wait to watch these. You're a game changer in terms of your production quality.

It's SURREAL how much you've grown personally and with this channel over the years! Im very excited to sit down with my partner and watch this next! I'm trying to inspire him to hike and explore with me just like you have! Thanks for just doing what you do ❤️❤️❤️ I havnt found another outdoorsy channel that soothes my soul quite like yours

@@junebixby7041 definitely the Survivorman angle. With a dog. Joe, dog, boat, dropped off just like this. Not across the globe though. I'd prefer it be a North America thing.

Lands Down house is a sweet small place if you want to give a call and send some videos so they can see what you love to do and I know you experience with true pride and respect of our North.

Joe, your followers are far reaching to say the least. I'm a 70-year young girl.. And I love following your adventures. I'm very fussy reader. And when I saw this book that you were reading I was immediately interested. When you described very briefly the writing style and of course a very short explanation of what the book was about I knew I had to have it. So I went online I found the edition you have and I've started reading it. A few terms and such I was not familiar with so I had to keep a dictionary or Google nearby. But very much enjoying the book Lonely Land. I've been on pins and needles waiting for part 4. I certainly hope your eye is all right. Thanks for the journey.
