Nice blue toenails Joe 👍

[@IdiotWithEducation]

Don't become one eyed joe!

[@filthymcnasty9509]

Hey Joe love this series. What kind of chair are you using ? Or anyone in the comment section who knows the brand. Thank you.

[@simonovens9858]

Again thank for sharing your adventures. The reason you can't explain how being out there makes you feel is because if your not a outdoors person you don't understand how at peace you feel. I feel the same everytime I'm out on the French River backwoods canoeing, camping & fishing. Look forward to the next one. Thank again Joe. No worries out there, just enjoyment.

[@jt0mi]

I'm sure it's been asked but since I can't find it, I'll ask for myself... Are the 2 painted toenails a gift from your girls, like - "now when you cozy up at camp you'll think of us"?

[@ChrisBooBoo]

Joe my husband and I are both 65 and have never got to go to places like this. But you and a few other you tubers make it possible for us to go there. When you were sitting by those cliffs and pictographs it was a very powerful feeling for us. I looked at my husband and there were tears in his eyes. I couldn’t help myself I started to cry. I couldn’t imagine how it felt it be there. Thank you Joe

[@pr1me840]

65 is not old. If your physical health enables you, pack your bags and go.

[@isntitobvious9894]

You can always do the shorter routes or the parks where you can drive up and a short walk later your at a camp site , with proper research and booking you can even rent Yurts/ mini log cabins too have an easier time

[@barrackobama5470]

Go for it! It's never to late! Even a short easier trip! Just do it you guys will not regret it and probably won't ever shut up about it.

[@coyotemorgan_25]

Joe's vidoes, to me, are like a Jack London novel comin to life. I love it.

[@reeseosbornestudios]

Nice comparison 👏

[@dawnhasbroken6304]

Yes.

[@americanaxetoolco2076]

The opening scene on this series reminds me of a guy who just dumped a body and moves on! Lol

[@crash5868]

Jack London! So many writers have copied that bit where somebody spits and The Bogey freezes in midair with an audible Krick! Sound.

[@mwhawley]

I keep getting feelings of a modern day Dick Proenneke, just without the building his own log cabin…yet…lol. Joe, you are one of a kind brother.

[@captainspud6400]

I got chills at that last lake. The pictographs, the dead silence, the beauty. Absolutely amazing. Thanks for bringing us along!

[@mstrdiver]

Joe - Spiritually speaking, I believe that the weather change just over the top of you was an advisory to observe but not to add your special touch like some folks have done in other petroglyph sites in the US. I experienced a similar effect when I first visited the Dachau concentration camp near Munich, Germany, in the late 70s. Bright and sunny when we arrived, then cloudy with low ground haze in the camp, then hot and sunny when we departed. That is not a place that bodes well if people joke around either. Sta safe my friend.

[@jeaniedodson8117]

Beautiful!❤

[@SarahR5338]

The way this guy is so freakin giddy over simple things in nature really tugs at the heart strings.

[@DylTyrril]

That bit in the tent where you were doing the rapid fire, wide eyed 'Do you wanna know?' routine had me grinnin' from ear to ear. You just have to appreciate that candour in the face of mishaps faced earlier on. Light hearted Joe always does the heart some good!

[@careenaalexis]

What a great trip Joe, Fricken epic blue walleye and incredible scenery!

[@dennisthurman8161]

The rainbow Joe it means that God sent the rainbow as a sign that He would never flood the earth again,and what great camera work when a couple of your shots of were you like a quarter mile away,that's a lot of setting up cameras then having to go back and get them, thanks and we're really really enjoying this trip with you.

[@365hillclimb]

I was hesitant at first, but I absolutely love this new video format, the length of the videos, and the editing/pacing. It's perfectly suited to the types of trips you go on, and I really hope it makes sense for you to make more of these. Anyone else feel the same?

[@kylelewis4685]

Your killing it with this series man. 36:30 might the shot of the year IMO.

[@reecethegreatvlogs7301]

Holy smokes that looks cool

[@davidgoff7336]

This day, with the blue walleye, the cliffs, pictographs, double rainbow, was worth the price of admission/access to the wild and special lake.

[@kevola5739]

The free range grass fed carp was a first for me. Could you imagine if he could have hung his hammock in that little cubby hole in the rock face. Waking up in the morning to that would change your life.

[@johnsaucerhunter]

Beautiful adventure. In just this one day, you had a very magical experience of wondrous proportions. Love your footage and can admire the diligence of setting up a shot up on a bluff, hike down, get in the boat paddle off camera-view, turn around, hike back up the bluff to retrieve the camera. All for 15 seconds (maybe) of decent "B-Roll". I can sympathize with the thrill and frustrations of piecing together and creating these visual adventures for us to enjoy and admire. May you always be blessed with 'double rainbows'.

[@JoshuaGammon]

Going a little crazy in the tent there Joe. 😁. Toe nails still holding up good to👍. Kiddos did a number on ya. Great video dude.

[@dougarrowsmith6088]

That was a great video Joe. I know Canada has been dealing with some awful truths recently in regards to its past...truths that we'll never reconcile here in the States.. regarding our past treatment of indigenous people. Showing that kind of respect is one small step towards understanding.

You can see and feel how at peace and awe you are at the rock cliffs and the cut out area. This truly is your calling!!!

[@netoriousned4272]

Thanks for the video. I used to go to Missinabi fishing with my uncle for a week a few different time. He had been going there since the 70s. Could tell right off the bat where you were. It's an amazing place. My uncle has mobility issues and I'll be forwarding him the video so he can relive the amazing trips he took there.

[@bziguy]

Joe, Why don’t you carry a little wind parachute? We always canoed with one. You tie on down line to the front area and hold one control line with your hand or the paddle and fly down wind with easy. Can be a life saver when you’re tired or just want the fun ride.

[@veritas2145]

Good idea👍

[@kathryndamron3238]

You have done many amazing videos over the years with each year gaining in video quality, but this, my KZbin friend, is in the master category. Thank you so much. No one will ever call you shallow in a world that is marked by it.

[@paddycool]

thanks for bringing me along Joe. You shot some incredible scenes.

Joe this trip is something every school kid in Ontario should see .. the scenery is literally heart stopping .. my dad was an outdoors guy who took his six kids and my mom to many areas North camping .. he said that no one could ever see all of Ontario in a life time .. there are no words for the beauty of this rugged and majestic scenery .. your filming takes this video beyond any I've seen on youtube including all your other adventures .. this is such a valuable tribute of who you are and how it is done .. you have no idea of the legacy you leave your offspring for their futures .. loving this series beyond words ...

Thank you so much again for another great video sir~ Good stuff. Hope you and the family are doing well!

[@mwhawley]

Joe, let me start of by saying that it almost goes without saying that ALL of your videos are always excellently crafted, shot, edited and composed. That being said…this series has elevated the whole game. Not only has this raised the bar for you personally, but this is the new standard that all the other outdoor channels must measure themselves against. The music, the cinematography, the editing and pacing, and just the overall story telling has just been sublime throughout this entire series. I am dreading the finale and not being able to look forward to the next episode. Utterly fantastic work brother; I hope you feel as proud as we are impressed!

[@bryanchiarelli1853]

“Thousand meters my ass” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I cried laughing at the part. Not used to you talking like that but it was hilarious!

Weeeellllll it was worth the wait...... The awe & heartfelt thanks for being there in that moment reminded me of the emotions shown in the Camilus carnivore video from years ago, I think you're capturing the spark again on this trip. Xx

Double rainbow just for Joe, what does it mean, what does it mean ....btw,when you went for that night walk and went back to your canoe , i thought to myself I would have been so worried about the canoe not being there when I returned, whew, there it was floating ...my heart, my heart,...and it's only day 9.
