Episode 32: I MESSED UP BADLY : Wilderness Line

[@DavidDudleyFishing]

Joe I struggled backing a trailer up when I first started towing. Dont give up! You will get the hang of it.

[@JoeHollandFishing]

HAHAH I will get there buddy

[@jongollakner4653]

Trailers do not respond when they slip on snow it can be nearly impossible to control

[@jongollakner4653]

Have you ever thought of dragging the road when it's not frozen.So you have a flat drive on winter

[@robertwentworth7775]

Joe,I love the fact that you show the good, bad, and ugly . Yes, you got lucky a few times, but I rather be lucky than good . Cooler heads prevail, and you have the coolest, way to turn a bad day around . Stay safe.

[@RandyChaseII]

I'm always going to love how you show it all, the good, the bad and the ugly. I've been there.

[@timothywilliams9147]

I've been there me and my brother got stuck once and we're there almost all night, and that was the last time we hunted without tire chains

[@JohnJones-vx7cr]

You know Joe, a lot of folks would edit out misfortunes like you had, but you use them as a learning tool. Bravo to you. Good idea on moving the trap across the river. Congrats on the fisher and glad the day turned around. Hopefully nothing was damaged. Thank you for the video. Have a good night.

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Thank you, I make a lot of mistakes , learn from them, and try to make less mistakes. I put myself in a lot of tough situations and love sharing them with everyone to maybe learn from good or bad. I appreciate it John. Ended up being an incredible day right!

[@JohnJones-vx7cr]

I learned a long time ago, no one’s perfect specially me. That’s how you learn is from doing dumb s..t! Being able to smile about it is good. Maybe not at the time but down the path. Good night, Trapper Joe.

[@tomhowland2431]

We've all definitely been there Joe! Great channel! Congratulations on a successful season, looking forward to your ice fishing season/videos and Donnie and friends!

[@richardhingston3996]

Whenever you clean out woodstove put ashes in a can and when you get slippery roads use the ash like salt

[@mikerogers9711]

I’m going on 61 years old. Been there done that. Sht happens. Lesson learned. Better tires and don’t wait to long to pack the roads and have a get out planned. Great video, glad you do not edit this stuff out.

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Truth, it was a learning experience for sure thank you

[@nathanquirion3830]

I can relate when you said that, "you could hear your dad's voice in your mind." I appreciate the fact that you're willing to share when mistakes are made and how you work your way out of them!

[@williamdyckman9704]

Joe , enjoyed the video. Can learn alot by watching your methods. !

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Awesome, thank you!

[@joedonley3014]

I just found your channel today great content time to binge watch and get caught up

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Glad you found the channel, thanks for checking it out!

[@timothyeldridge7845]

Joe you don’t keep anything from your viewers! Just another reason to love these videos! You could have cut all that out but being the man you are you are willing to show us all! Makes me respect you even more! All I could think was damn I wish I could be there to help you! Anyone who has a negative comment has never been in a tough situation! So pay no mind to them! I’m glad you finished out the day with some great catches

[@keithberger]

You started this deal saying you'll be ethical, lawful, and honest. Showing us the true trials, tribulation, handwork, and mishaps is a treat to tge viewers. And make THAT Fisher a Grand Prize. Totally awesome 👌

[@georgemarkham1130]

Hey Joe you can't foresee everything, What learned from the Marine Corps years ago was to improvise, adapt and overcome! That's what you did! You used your head, powered thru it and made it happen! I,m proud of you brother!

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Thank you for the support, you're right, always gotta improvise, adapt and overcome.

[@guidoguido8677]

If you haven't found yourself in a mess like that, you haven't spent enough time outdoors. Weve all had days like that, well handled 👍🏼

[@JoeHollandFishing]

well put, thank you.

[@MarkJLarsonOutdoors]

What a day! Glad you got out and still made some catches! Thank you for sharing and Good luck with everything my friend!

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Thank you, appreciate the support!

[@briannagorman3119]

Lower air pressure and carrying tire chains was always a must in the winter when I lived in upstate New York. Always had some ice melt and sand along with a good shovel.

[@JoeHollandFishing]

I appreciate the advice, it's good to be prepared

[@davidmcgregor4691]

Great job getting out! That was a lot of hard work! Just found your channel. Absolutely love it. Please keep up the great work!

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Thank you for watching, I am glad you enjoy the channel!

[@markrobinson9154]

Stuff happens as anyone who has spent any time in the woods knows Keep smiling!

[@JoeHollandFishing]

exactly! Thank you

[@williamferris9102]

I’ve been watching you for years Joe and I’m always amazed that you don’t ever wear gloves in freezing temps

[@JoeHollandFishing]

I wear them while riding the snowmobile

[@alexstillman1285]

keep them coming Joe.anybody who hasnt dealt with that stuff hasnt been around long enough lol.

[@JoeHollandFishing]

truth

[@stevenbabb2958]

Glad you weren’t hurt Joe! Nice fisher and martins; warmed your wet feet right up.

[@JoeHollandFishing]

so true, It's amazing the pep in a step after a catch

[@surveyor1995]

Id prefer to be lucky than good any day of the week. Glad it all worked out. Another excellent day on the trap line to boot. Looking forward to the next video. Stay safe Joe.

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Thanks for the support, I’m glad it worked out!

[@MegaMadTrapper]

Hi Joe, great video. I think those of us who spend any time in the bush trapping or hunting or fishing when the snow comes and starts to build has had an episode like you had. I had a similar situation in where I thought ok I can make that shirt up hill distance and have things go north in the blink of an eye. Good on you for finding the solution and following through to get your truck and trailer out. This is the type of video that draw me and other people to your channel, honest and true experiences as a trapper. Cheers MT

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Thank you my friend! Not always the best moves, not always doing things right, but always trying, never quitting.

[@MegaMadTrapper]

@ yup absolutely

[@billc3405]

Be proud you did what had to be done no give up in you. I'm a fan

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Thank you, Never Quit!

[@juntzjoking]

Living in Wisconsin we all feel your pains!! But you sure got paid in the end!!! Great day Great video!!!

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@MH-yu5yp]

You’re just getting the bugs worked out this year, next year will be super smooth!!

[@JoeHollandFishing]

I like the way you think,

[@MatthewLaursen-q7y]

Went from bad luck to awesome luck! Nice catch on the fisher!!!

[@Saskatchewan1984]

Wood ashes works good for traction also Joe I always throw my wood stove ashes on my drive way in winter and come spring the ashes sort of disappear , into the road , but right size chains would of got you out without a problem , and still time to get trailer out if someone gets you the right chains in time before the snow gets hard and to deep ,

[@tommorris3257]

Ya know, when Dudley sees this he gonna be all over you 😂 Jack knifed, water in the boots and almost had the trifecta when that trap snapped at ya. Reminds me of my driveway fiascos. Glad it worked out.

[@JoeHollandFishing]

hahah truth on all accounts

[@ShawnNewhook]

Another great show joe it great see your authenticity when turn a bad situation to a good one Thank you for that it inspiring

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Thank you! I make a lot of mistakes, it's how I learn, I hope it inspires people to keep going and try again! Never Quit!!

[@ShawnNewhook]

@@JoeHollandFishing you have inspired me more

[@steveo5712]

That's a long day with the gravel Joe. Been there before. Awesome video Sir.

[@JoeHollandFishing]

It was, glad you enjoyed it!

[@paulmoody4224]

Hey joe glad it all worked out for you it is what it is !! No one’s perfect we all make mistakes!! For anyone saying you should have done this or that from the couch !! Shame on them !! Merry Christmas to you and Donnie and keep them videos rolling you know I’m watching! Cheers

[@JoeHollandFishing]

I appreciate you! Merry Christmas!

[@marcjohnson501]

Hey Joe! Shiznit happens bud, adapt and overcome! 💪🏻👊🏻

[@JoeHollandFishing]

It happens, gotta keep pushing forward!

[@gordongietek9104]

Hey Joe, loving the videos. I have a suggestion. Maybe use a very light weight ice spud as a walking stick on your sets near the creeks. To aid in crossing safely and checking water depth. Then just leave it strapped to the sled when you know you won't need it. Just a thought. Keep up the hard work. And happy holidays buddy.

[@timguinard7434]

Shit happens, Joe. We do have one thing in common...I hear my Dad's voice of reason all the time too. You got it done and that's all that matters.

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Thank you

[@brianlavallie5475]

Should build a covered sand box on top of your driveway

[@MrNickoTime]

Perseverance Joe!

[@bobmitchell8688]

Hey Joe, keep your winch handy, you never know when you might need it 👍 Good luck up there and Merry Christmas

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Thanks, Merry Christmas!

[@dylanmccarl2995]

way to not give up Joe.

[@JoeHollandFishing]

you got it.

[@pennycharron4343]

Joe we watched this real one and the outcome too. Stay safe on your skidoo with the big moose out there. ❄️❄️🎄🎄

[@JoeHollandFishing]

thank you, will do

[@josephallman8279]

Your never to old to play in the snow

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Truth! Love this comment, Thank you..

[@melvinkidd1813]

Love your videos joe you keep it REAL

[@JoeHollandFishing]

thank you

[@melvinolsen3171]

Wood ash works really good for traction

[@ThePatriots92]

Way to push through! Be safe out there.

[@zarylbekabdykaev5800]

Great channel! Thank you for great inspirational, educational entertaining videos !

[@JoseyWales-m5b]

Also I have a snow plow and chains on my 700 grizzly for those type of situations

[@JoeHollandFishing]

nice

[@katherinebragg9166]

i came in late again. just watching the truck and trailer slide.....ohhhhh nooooo. yes, wanna watch later too. The fur made everything better eh? Did for me!

[@MaineGuide34]

Love the trap line videos. My wife an I watch every night. Thank you for all the good info. (snowdog machine).

[@jamiebouchard9862]

Get in touch with Bob from jackman, I believe. You and I spoke previously during a live stream about how he subcontracts all of his snowshoe building to Charleston correctional facility. (Yes I’ve spent time there. Yes I battled addiction for 20+ yrs. But here I am, nearly 8yrs free with a moderately successful construction business of my own. Save the hate….please) I can’t remember bobs last name but he’s very well known. He donates all proceeds from the snowshoes to pine tree camp and special Olympics. He also does a ton for wounded warrior project. I’m sure someone in this comment section knows him. He’s got a guide service around the jackman/Rangely area. He can certainly set you up with the oversized shoe that I built a jig for about 10yrs ago

[@JoeHollandFishing]

No hate from here, Congratulations. It aint about falling it's about how you get up. Sounds like those would be the right snowshoes and company to support thank you I hope I find more info on them.

[@jamiebouchard9862]

@ I’ll do my best to find out more and will comment on the next vid

[@jamiebouchard9862]

@ google “Maine guide snowshoes. Their names are Bob and Andrea. If you get in touch with them tell Bob you’d like a set of xxl snowshoes that you and Jamie b designed at Charleston correctional facility (ccf). Their website says if they don’t already make what you need, to give em a minute while they make it. Hopefully this is helpful

[@leonagould1119]

Wow you're one lucky fella

[@JoeHollandFishing]

x100

[@350mack]

Chains, shovel and a few gallon pails of sand/salt mix 😊

[@JoeHollandFishing]

yup

[@brianlavallie5475]

And some common sense. Lol

[@bobmitchell8688]

And a winch👍

[@ScottMorton-tg1wx]

All you can do is figure it out and keep smiling

[@jamiebouchard9862]

Poop in a group = Getting ur shit together. Something a youngster said the other day and I appreciated its pg-ness.

[@JoeHollandFishing]

haha I like it.

[@SanfordMorrison]

We have all been there Joe. Lol

[@rodneyrote6261]

Great video

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Thanks!

[@droopdirtnaps1008]

I know we don't live up there but that snow is rough

[@larryberger9095]

Another great video

[@JoeHollandFishing]

I appreciate that

[@lee_t_outside6471]

Joe you need one of these mini extendable shovels for checking traps they’re so great for odd things like this I use to have one strapped to my snowmobile. Chezmax scamazon store 25” small kids digging shovel.

[@JoeHollandFishing]

thank you I will check them out.

[@couellette08]

Any ideas or plans to get the big trailer out?

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Yes, Four chains on the 4wd , stay tuned!

[@bobstewart4342]

" Shit Happens " think of the memories you made for yourself

[@JoeHollandFishing]

absolutely

[@garywhelton9304]

Well that sucks but that is the truth about trapping . Might have ben a good idea to take all that snow out of the trailer , I check most of my traps with an old rifle scope that way i leave less scent and save time .

[@keithmcallister4917]

That was a oh Fu** ! moment right there ! been there done that !

[@JoeHollandFishing]

truth

[@keithmcallister4917]

@@JoeHollandFishing Joe those weren’t mistakes but a learning experience ! But if you don’t learn from them then it’s a mistake !

[@350mack]

I thought there was more camps where someone goes around and plows/sands. Make a clip of when you slid backwards and hit that tree with the trailer.

[@MLSPlatforms]

I’m thinking it’s Donnie’s trailer that’s bad luck 😂

[@JoeHollandFishing]

haha, This one was on me for sure!

[@erikl1886]

Did you make your own boxes or buy them?

[@jonchrzanowski725]

A man that hasn't made a mistake is either a bold faced liar, or hasn't had many life experiences or learned something new.

[@JoeHollandFishing]

so true, I mess up daily. Just try to learn from them and minimize them or the results.

[@brianrice8974]

Put down some hot ashes from the wood stove

[@thomaspease4620]

Wood ash works well for me

[@MLSPlatforms]

Put a piece of rubber 6”X6” over your latch couple roof nails to hold 1 side , will keep latch clean to open

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Thanks for the tip! I think I saw Trapping Todays like that looked smart.

[@wayneladd7509]

Sorry that what intold the wife came to be. But Joe you over came and will again. Me and lots ofvothers are concerned about you and your well being

Hey man I know there not cheap, some aggressive tires would work out well...

[@JoseyWales-m5b]

I have a winch on the front of my truck , it never fails me

[@JoeHollandFishing]

nice

[@chiphafford8967]

Joe I’ll drop off a snow blower and some sand salt 😂

[@chiphafford8967]

Be good to have some under a tarp just in case of bad rain or freezing rain.

[@ScottMorton-tg1wx]

A bucket of tailings and salt works well

[@timjk32]

Did you gun blue all your traps??

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Trap Dyed most of them

[@davepetkau482]

Hey Joe what would it cost me for a fisher or a marten to be sent to British Columbia Canada?

[@JoeHollandFishing]

I really have to make sure I can ship outside of the USA . Lets do some research feel free on your end too

[@JoseyWales-m5b]

It’s called preseason work, you should be checking traps and not messing around with your driveway while h you should of taken care of when it was nicer weather, also you should of had a barrel of sand on that incline mixed with salt along the side

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Yeah I learned my lesson.

[@brianlavallie5475]

Ash from the wood stove,kittie litter50lb bags kept in the truck

[@brinkee7674]

thank goodness this wasn't today. It was zzero earlier and yesterday. Sat was 14 with steady 20 mph wind and gusts to 35. It was near unbearable

[@JoeHollandFishing]

haha yup, we had -10 I slept out on the trapline overnight. Stay tuned for that vid.

[@troycorbin3890]

Got a better idea get one of them Bombadier bombi and put a wrecker winch and you'll have a recovery vechical

[@jbell0019]

next time try dropping your tire air pressures down to 15 PSI you will be surprised how much more traction you will get.

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Good advice! I'll keep that in mind for next time.

[@Utah_Mike]

I’m not a trapper but Why not bring the sled with you on the trap line run?

[@JoeHollandFishing]

Sled being Snowmobile? That's what we call it. Or tote sled behind snowmobile? I prefer the snowmobile most of the time but if I have to jump back and forth its sometimes easier just to stay in the truck .

[@timothywilliams9147]

Joe get yourself some chains!!

[@JoeHollandFishing]

stay tuned
