Exhaustion in the Wild Ep 5 - 10 Days, 10 Items; Alone on an Island in the Canadian Wilderness

[@anotherasian530]

I think a great thing about this series is that he doesn’t add music or sound effects to intense moments, where he keeps the journey original.

[@ryandunn3331]

Hey joe, I was watch this video and I got to a curtain part of your video that really hit home! In one day this weekend I lost my girlfriend and my roommates abandoned me with a house I can’t afford. I got to about the 33 minute mark when your were on the lake when it was calm and you said something that really hit me! You said, “ Nothing seems overwhelming, it’s just happening.” You said you were overwhelmed at first but when with the storms come you went to your shelter and you said, “ you just let things happen. With that being said I fight hard with anxiety and depression, when you said that it couldn’t have been better timing in my life! Thank you for your videos man you help out in more then survival videos! God bless you and your family!

[@sonsofzeus1835]

Ryan my guy! Checked out your comment. Curious to see how you’re doing a year later. Hope all is well brother!

[@rhuarkk2138]

I’m curious as well! Hope you’re doing well

[@ryandunn3331]

Mentally I am still dealing with a big battle, but things are definitely better! Me and my ex got back together and ended up with my beautiful boy! Unfortunately she is an ex again and I should have learned the first time... but life moves on! Thank you guys for all of your concerns! I’m actually working on following my dream at the moment of making music and trying to be the best dad I can be! So far everything seems to be ok!

Since I woke up this morning I've been laying in bed watching each episode. Don't stop doing what you do PLEASE.

[@janeoftorquayfe1513]

please please do another 10 days soonish Joe, I have watched it 3 times. Was wonderful, exciting, sad, feels like I lived it with you. fabulous

[@brushfyre2705]

We watch you every day and if you don't put up anything new we watch an old one. I watched one from 2011 and you looked so young. Even your voice was a lot different. You are the best! Keep up the great content. We live vicariously through your adventures.

[@medieverse]

I've been watching Joe Robinet for a few months now. I told a friend I liked watching this "random guy's" camping KZbin channel, and he recommended I watch the show "Alone". It sounded like a good show so I checked it out and--WOW--look who I saw! Total coincidence! I was like "OMG it's young Joe!"

[@lorib5323]

In nursing school the past few years... 5 hours in and this has been the first time in years I am truly relaxed. Thank you for these movies!

[@bandit816]

RN Now? Congrats!!

New title: Joe Robinet's slow descent into madness: 10 days of wilderness isolation. Just jokes! Love the series Joe!

[@dennyboi8657]

As a fisherman I really respect you putting that big pike back! Not a lot of people would and it would go to waste! Love that

[@22patch22]

its 1 am in the uk . just about to go to bed and there's a new episode. putting a pot of coffee on 😁

[@andjustus4all]

What a magical spot on our planet earth you were allowed to be among? The scenery is just breathtakingly beautiful I loved the scene where the duck just passed by - saying "leave me alone, I'm busy, I have stuff to do" by continuing swim to its target

[@kcmozart]

I love the Loons! I spent most summers growing up at my grandparents house on a lake 2 hours north of Minneapolis. Loons are a part of my soul because of it.

[@exquisite_junk1323]

If your mum watches, she must be super proud. Incredible series and just what the doc ordered at the end of 2020

[@faithrada]

'Just Sitting' can be a very good thing sometimes. It restores the body, mind, and soul. ; )

[@jae2883]

You're a good person Joe.

[@stevenandbobthedog]

This is just what I needed! I usually watch your videos with my parents but they're far away right now and I'm missing them but watching this makes me feel closer to them.

[@IsaacNewton1966]

I used to love getting out in nature. I never had a chance to go anywhere as wild as you do, but I enjoyed it just the same. Then I had a stroke, and I'm trying to recover. I am not saying that I have given up, just that things are so much harder to do now. So anyway, I really appreciate you making these videos Joe, so I can "get out there" even though I'm sitting n my chair! Thank you!

All joe needs now is a volleyball with a face on it and some crab lol

I've. Been loving these Videos. I do hope your feeling ok. I've lost how many days it's been. Your family must be missing you bad. It must be at least six days. The Beauty of the land is what I love seeing. Granny fan

[@lucindamedina5554]

I came across your videos last night and ended up staying up until 2 in the morning watching your vids! My dad passed away 3 years ago and would take us camping atleast twice a year! And watching you brings back a many great memories! Thank you for making these! I enjoy watching !

[@Amberdawnn76]

" it will be nice to see my old island. My old island, my old firepit, my old spoon." It's only been 4 days, lol. Time crawls in the wild and you're alone.

[@deanzworld2117]

JUST A HUGE THANK YOU TO YOU JOE, to Doug Outside, and to My Self Reliance for inspiring me so much, as well as entertaining and educating me. After losing an entire summer due to injury where all I could do was watch videos of the great outdoors, it was fantastic to get back out to the bush and try to rebuild my fitness, and even try to record it to inspire my friends to do likewise. I am no spring chicken, but passionate, and have other nationwide ventures planned for the future. Yours truly, Dean, a lifetime subscriber. (I will forward this to the others personally to thank them also)

[@TheChinest]

If you are doing subsistence living on just fish protein, you should be eating the entire fish. boil down the head making sure to get all the fat and meat out of it not just two fillet's per fish. The warm soup in Cold environment becomes addicting. U can still cook the fillets different ways while having the soup

[@mistygroves3503]

I agree. The bones simmered would be good, like bone broth. I don't know if there are edible plants there but some added would be good too

[@snowfire5050]

dehydrated veggies are nice and light weight, Add some barley with your veg makes a good soup too. You can pack quite an amount in a small space .

[@certifiedsexninja9732]

TheChinest shut up n just enjoy the video .....did he ask 4 ur advice

[@5thHouse]

I'd keep some guts for bait

[@mossoconnor4417]

TheChinest I think to do this and survive you would be much better off catching more fish and even discarding some of the meat, the skin brains and fatty organs are much more important than the meat.

[@mariomp9532]

Mate this series is one of your best. This is real survival. Not easy to live in the woods without almost nothing after all!

[@lynnmoore2664]

This is a really great series! Thank you so much Joe for doing this. Looking forward to the next episode.

[@camndino]

Joe, you have to be considering writing a book. I can’t be the only one who loves how you mix the bushcraft with the technology that is you tube and the internet. Sure you’re not the only one who has done this, but you come across as a straight up guy. No attitude, just your honest thoughts. Awesome pike by the way.

[@alfonsoguillen9919]

Yesssss!!!!!!!!! Joe's the best BAM son!!

[@scottbaileyExplores]

These are the videos I love to watch Joe. Camping and out on the water. Not easy doing 10 days on your own. Respect brother, you make it look so easy.

[@bmxmaster5813]

Joe you are truly the best you've got me through the most tuffest times. And I don't think you know how inspiring you are. You always inspire me to get out there and do what I want to do, not what other people tell me to do. Keep up the awesome work. joe you truly you deserve a lot from everyone. last of all have a awesome birthday doing what you love. Have a good one

[@connordowsett641]

I think the same to joe you are truely the best

[@rottenrobbie7]

This series is nothing short of epic and your cinematography is showing polish. Can't wait for the next episode.

[@vagabondquerier9375]

Joe, you NEED to eat more and drink more water. There are about 170 calories in a 1/2 fillet of Northern Pike ...100 grams. You do use 3000+ easy out there, plus is needed water ... for reasons. Dehydrate and starving ... Thanks for these great vids and places you show us ... pls be safe and keep making the vids that make you happy.

[@vagabondquerier9375]

Joe knows he can and will go home, he knows he has 3 more days ... if ... this 10 day "challenge" was longer by weeks to a month or even open ended to just see how long he will thrive and survive ... I think he would be very scared right now. oh as for carbs ... Cattails? Plus eat the WHOLE fish ... no waste in surival.

[@hugopalmer6473]

Have been watching your videos for two years now and love watching them every time - this series is particularly good. I had a mental health problem from overworking several months ago and your videos helped greatly - all is good now :) Keep up the excellent work Joe!

DEHYDRATION, JOE!!! Need more Carbs as well. Luv this video!!

[@gazay7777]

Ive seen all seasons of Alone and I'm enjoying your series more than the actual Alone series. Your etiting is better, theres no forced drama, no wasted time watching someone stand around doing nothing. And I get to see more of your daily activities. You should have your own tv show.

[@kylel.1965]

Saw that giant pike swimming under his canoe and it reminded me of that line from Jaws, "You're going to need a bigger boat." A relatively large fish and a relatively small canoe make for a sketchy situation.

[@kongy1787]

Like the way you treat the old big fish, thanks for letting it go.

[@yankey4]

WOOHOOO I just told my nurse " Joe just posted a video. I would like it if they would not bug me for the next hr.." Hehehe Thanks brother for posting this I so needed this today. God Bless. Now on to the video..

[@brothersfromotherslb]

It felt so long since the last video because I like watching these so much! I’ve been watching your videos for 2-3 years, feels like chilling with a good friend.

[@mikeycityify]

“It’s a lesson in patience, son!” I believe the term is called an “ear worm” for when you hear a catchy sound or tune that runs continually in your mind.

[@CalviNNation]

Man. This is awesome. I hope I am the first one to fully agree with you on the plane thing. I commented before but i am a treeplanter. You do have human contact, but that is it. The outside world becomes a blur. You get this weird existential feeling when you see planes and hear planes. They bungee jump you back to the real world, the one that has business, people, death, life, liesure. And you remember your small existence in this world. How everyone in the city/real world is so far apart not necessarily in space, but in relation and relatability. I find that this makes the sound a constant thought in a place of dead stillness.

[@jacobberlekamp5046]

Hey joe, I’ve been watching you for a while and my uncle came into town and he lives in Yellowstone and he’s really Good with this stuff so we planned a 5/6 day backpacking trip horseback up the mountains and catching rainbow trout! We watched your video and decided to do it thank you so much!!

[@jagersilva2169]

people have their opinion on the right way to do things but im learning so much from you and the series I love it!!!

[@mattwilliams4919]

Your camp has evolved so much since ep 1

[@joannlarson6011]

Joe, next time bring more food with you(carbs) we just enjoy being with you and the whole experience. we are in our 80's and just love living thru your eyes. Brings back so many memories ,,, thanks again

[@reidm3793]

Your pot holder gave me a good chuckle....;)

[@SherryEllesson]

Joe, at 23:33 I think you hit that space that many of us do, who spend time outdoors and for maybe the first time in a VERY long time, let the rest of the world go, and be...just...a person. The awareness is too deep to express, but I think you tried and, given your photography, did very, very well.

[@raygetoutdoors6151]

I don't think that hearing that bush plane after it has left is weird Joe. Especially being by yourself. Our brains can do funny things sometimes. Enjoy watching your adventures. Ray, Oklahoma

[@MsNikkieMichelle]

The views and scenery are surreal. Truly a sight to see and breathtaking.

[@StraightFiya]

Yes! This is gonna make my friday even better! Im sleeping in a hammock tonight with my buddy ryan and its gonna be a blast! Love your content joe!

Joe needs good hammock... something like my mosquitohammock.com jungle hammock, modded with woopie slings.... bulletproof supershelter, used by several special force untis...

[@skyhound4373]

Ryan is going to be more than a buddy after tonight

[@keisha717]

You're "sleeping" in a hammock with your buddy Ryan tonight? Perhaps you should have left out the "with my buddy Ryan" comment, and ESPECIALLY the "its gonna be a blast" language. Just what kind of hammock is it? www.bananahammockworld.com

[@thealphabeaver298]

This series is definitely the best. You look tired for sure. The ol wilderness is an unforgiving tough mistress she'll do that to you. You killed it though. It looks like it was a tough but beautiful one.

[@tonybucaro1341]

You are not eating enough and your not drinking enough too. That was a huge mistake to toss that big fish back. That was your energy right there dude. Keep up the good work. I love following you.

[@MetaldetectingFace]

Emerald and Jewel - Emmy & Julie. just an idea, anyway absolutely loving this series, the static camp videos are my favourite. cheers

[@jessesuffield967]

You made it through this hard day. You will make it through more!!! See you back on the lake soon!!!

[@FromThePrairies]

You were carb-starved. Next time measure out your rice to make sure you have a ration for each day and use brown rice rather than white. White has limited nutrition whereas brown has loads.

[@Fallingawayfromme1111]

FromThe Prairies yes ! So true!

[@Stypec]

Yeah, it gets me frustrated every video, that he doesnt realize why he is so tired.. I love Joe but he has some learning to do according to nutrition.. Too bad he doesnt seem to be the brightest mind :/

[@derekthompson9031]

Great advice

[@Aertyn]

For a guy with IBS he doesn't seem to know much about diet :/

[@richardrisner3635]

Wrong wrong wrong, brown rice does not have a greater nutrient value. It is simply rice with its outer husk removed. White rice just has a faster uptake than brown. Also you don’t need more rice anyways you need fats! Fat and protein are your body’s essential nutrients not carbs. And to the clown that says your not the brightest they can eat a big fat dick cause they don’t know a hell of a lot either

[@kevinharding2099]

This is your best work! Honest, well documented and thorough.

[@ElliotOutdoors]

also i think a good skill to develope is to learn your local wild edibles and fungi! it'll give you much more options for food

[@twistedfrannie9311]

Hello Joe, I consider myself very lucky to have found your channel. I've had to put an end to my survival camping trips since I was diagnosed with cancer. I would go twice a year ago week at a time by myself. Most people thought I was crazy bc , " being out in the rough is no place for a lady" and "but whatever will you do if something happens!?!" Lol. Watching you brings back some of the best memories, just out there alone...talking to nature ❤ I'm happy that your family supports you...that birthday present was AWESOME.

[@Magnum_Express]

The reason you're not catching walleye or trout if I had to guess is those pike are probably eating everything in the lake. That monster you caught is probably cannibalistic

[@96Logan]

36:20 I got chills from that short speech. This trip is so cool to watch

[@cimbrerbushcraft-vikingheritag]

Congrats Joe 👍🏻 this series is absolutely the best footage I’ve seen from you for a long time I like it very much 🌤🌲😁 Atb to you and your family Best regards Tom

[@johnnyloco11]

Love it when Joe gets excited about hooking a fish.

[@anejzalar1308]

I like it how Joe packs. He packs everything than he shows what he has got and than packs again

[@Brandywine6969]

When you get still all alone in nature is when you find a type of solitude that cannot be beat. You can really have a chance to enjoy it. It's best to keep up with your chores after resting though, because missing one can also turn around and bite you. It is good that you think ahead on firewood and things like that.

[@FPHTID]

Wow Fantastic! i really love this series! Thanks for sharing this video!

[@orver1]

There’s nobody like Joe buddy. Great work. I can’t wait for my annual August canoe trip with my son in the Queen Elizabeth II Wildlands Provincial Park! Flat water, fresh air and cracklin campfires!

[@blindlfaithful]

Love all the comment "experts" on this video. My bet is very few of those comments come from people who know what is like to live in the bush, even for a short time. Great video bro!!

[@TennaTheGinger]

My family owns an Island in Canada with a cabin. My grandpa bought it in the 60s, before the laws changed. Love it there. Its a 40 minute boat ride to get to the island from a dock/resort. It is in Jackfish Lack in Lake of the Woods Ontario. Was planning to go this summer, but Covid and Canada boarder shut down. Watching because the views at night, are exactly what I remember.

[@makennasewell1588]

I am a little late but I love all these episodes!! I have not been watching a long time but I love that u make very entertaining videos! I have made a fort in our backyard and it is soo cool, I want to spend the night in it. I just wish I could meet you and thank u for making cool and funny videos!

[@shieldmaiden000]

Watching you eat that pike made me want to get my steelhead rod out and go fishing! Maybe when I go elk hunting next month. Can't wait. Wow...I am sooooo envious of you. Wished I was young again I would be out like this like you, like I use to when I was a young woman. Now I am almost 62- labor day-and so I can't go out much like I use to...and man, do I miss it.Thanks for the videos, they are awesome.

[@thatdudephilly]

That place looks amazing

[@julietheflute1]

You are an inspiration! I can't believe what incredible discipline you have. It's brave to head into the woods with that much food. I think some dried food companies should send you some meals to try out because there are some really delicious ones out there now. What a giant pike!

[@dannyleblanc9943]

You have a ton of comments on the last video but I just wanted to say I’m very jealous and it looks amazing. More power to you!

[@cityofplant]

Joe! I just want to tell you that i dropped my beef patty that i made in the fire while i was camping and that ruined my mood so much so that i drove home that day LOL.

[@crochetwithapril]

Jimbo we were camping one time and my son had a diaper blowout in the tent. Which isn't as easy to clean him much less the tent without the benefit of a bathtub. We were on a 7 day trip and it ruined out moods so badly that we were bickering and miserable to the the point we screw it and left on day 3. Which was silly because we cleaned him up and packed up and loaded the entire camp in under two hrs..... But... If you're not felling it you're not feeling it.

[@run-cnc]

weak.

[@texcohen3167]

Wouldn't have stopped me from eating it.

[@crochetwithapril]

B. Stone Dick....

[@josephallan8791]

Jimbo you should have pulled that patty out and struggled on bro. Ive coal cooked steaks and pattys but we humans view that as dirty. That bit of ash and coal would have actually made you feel better after you ate it. Try it sometime.

[@outdoorKeith.]

joe I've been watching your vids now for over 12 months and every time I watch one you really pee me off, I'm so envious of you living in Canada with all the lakes rivers and woodland compared to what we have in the UK its unreal, I cant begin to imagine the size of Canada to the UK there is nowhere I could go canoeing catch fish camp out and be miles from anyone please stop making your vids before I go insane. a jealous English man soul survivor.

[@CHEEKYMONKEY1618]

Hi Joe Im really enjoying watching this series, it makes a pleasant change to have you just relaxing around camp, cutting firewood and on the water fishing, normally you either paddling hard or on a portage 😉 Have you thought about getting a waterproof case for your go pro and doing some underwater shots ?? You could spend some time getting footage around the lake and review it that night for any sand bars or feeding areas. Keep up the great work 👌👍

[@DarxusC]

Underwater shot in this video: 51:35

if everyone lived the life this guy does then the world would be a very different place, a happy place , i truly love these videos and i only started watching joe yesterday, keep up the great videos man

[@PascalMarieFinland]

Another great episode Joe. Only one thing, I don't want to see you like that again when you do this kind of trip. Take more food you would need to keep your energy high. Do not only count on food you may catch. This is painful to see you suffering. I really like you and everything you are doing but not at that price. You've got a family and these guys need you more an everything. Please consider that next time and do not take risks like this trip in the other lake with lots of bears. Anyway, I am waiting for next episode as this one is already over. One hour passed in few minutes watching you and then we have to way another 7 days or 7 weeks I must say, lol. Take care my friend and best regards from Finland, Pascal

[@mossoconnor4417]

Pascal Marie It’s more important because he’s such a skinny little fellow, if he wants to do trips with very little food he need some fat on him.

[@noybnoygdb1022]

And yet, he miraculously survived. LOL. Seriously man, he went through a little extremis, but he's young, healthy.

[@ginogiannini8318]

Thanks again Joe for taking the time to film and edit another epic video!
