This is the last video in the series. I hope you all enjoyed it, I sure did!

[@jphanks]

Joe Robinet you did it! I know I'm a nagging mother type, so I'll just say one more time, drink more water! 😃

[@Splinter2099]

really 34? no way. Iam 35 and i look soo much younger. You are 43. i dont believe you. but i like your vids. :D

[@somerandomguy6249]

Belated Happy Birthday Joe!!! 😁

My son gets home from school in 5 hours... we have watched all your videos together.. the count down is on. Lol.

[@beamer6136]

Now im looking forward to your canoe trip video with Doug and friends.. LOL... Thanks Joe for all the hard work you put into making these videos and the experiences you have... Like so many of us we sure do enjoy watching them and always look forward to the next one...

[@fartalone3142]

I like how there is no music edited in, it makes everything so calm.

[@kelleyabitbol6156]

Totally agree!

[@teresadaigle6991]

As a 71 year old woman, I would love to do what you have just done. Only with my husband....I felt like I was there with you every day. I felt your hunger, your cold, your exhaustion and your loneliness at times, I think. You are a very skilled young man. Like my husband who I have tremendous respect for in all of our outings. I felt when you were totally exhausted, you needed more fat and carbs. You were working very hard collecting all your firewood and building your shelter. Just loved this whole series. I hope you do this again soon. I absolutely loved the wilderness in every aspect. You probably won’t read this but if you do, have a wonderful life with your family.

Dude, this series has been the coolest thing I've ever watched on KZbin, you gotta do an extended expedition like this at least once a year or something, give us all something to REALLY look forward to. Either way, you win KZbin in my opinion! Thank you for the adventure. -Caleb from NW Georgia 💯👍

How much farther do you expect him to go? He said it was a 6 hour drive, then he went by two planes and then I think a truck and then by ATVs, then he had to canoe to where he was going to camp. Goodness sake. :D

I've just watched the whole series in one go. It's now 2.36am in the UK (Wales). Thank you so much for showing me the wilderness of Canada. You are blessed. A few lines that will stay with me. "Clouds in the water" "Paddling in a dream" "Heart Daddy" "Good morning beautiful" On we go Joe.... on we go.

[@epozv2114]

@@auzzierise2704 great isn't it mate?

[@auzzierise2704]

Top notch. I've been getting into bushcraft. Australia is about remaining safe, Joe was about survival against elements and fatigue. The difference in how you need to adapt to the environment blew me away. It was an experience. Just thinking about it gave me goosebumps.

[@Mordred478]

As I watched this, Joe, it occurred to me that many Hollywood films are the same length as this video, but not nearly as good. I was totally absorbed by this video, and found it as therapeutic as I always find your videos. Hollywood movies, by contrast, usually piss me off because of one thing or another. Also, regarding your birthday...I am twenty years your senior almost to the day, and am here to tell you that my life only got better as I got older, as it continues to do. The loss of youth is counterbalanced by peace of mind, wisdom and self-assurance.

[@auzzierise2704]

Looks like things are up from here then, good to know.

[@LinkTheHero]

"I am here to tell you that my life only got better as I got older, as it continues to do. The loss of youth is counterbalanced by peace of mind, wisdom and self-assurance." I really like that. I might make that my senior quote.

[@satinwarship]

Tyrion Lannister it was like 6 parts bud each the length of this video

[@13Bull13]

I hope that’s how it works out for me.

[@theminimalisthiker]

Joe, I'm not sure if you will ever read this, but I wanted to tell you what a beautiful soul you are. Inside and out. Your amazingly positive attitude in bad situations are incredible and truly inspiring. Thanks for this series. I'm sure you have touched many people with your message. 🌳❤️🌳❤️🤗🤗

[@scottdaunhauer2453]

Deb Campos - Nature Lover I know, right! His attitude is great.. It makes all the difference. (I appreciate your comment)

[@Mr_Unlisted]

i just quit smoking weed after about 20 years of smoking multiples times a day . and i just want to say this this whole series really helped me getting thru my day , thank you so much ,its really entertaining ill be watching another whole series tomorrow ! cheers !

[@mawmawvee]

For next time--You could use the bones and head to make a rich fish stock to boost your nourishment and then don't boil the life out of the meat fillets. Then cook your rice and veggies in some of the stock, put the poached fish back into the rice after it's cooked. Drink more water and be sure you have enough salt with you to make up for what you sweat out of your pores. You've been starving yourself. This is selfish on my part--I want you to live to make many more good videos like this series. God bless and keep you in His care always.

[@zennor_man]

Good advice...thinking along the same lines too...

[@themlasu]

I just wanted to say that adding a lot more lard would have been a huge calorie gain. It's about 120 calories per Tablespoon (13g)

[@skibbydogg]

I agree. I think Joe needs to read a book on food and nutrition while camping to get the most out of the available food and what to bring along.

[@celticbarry9877]

Jerky has a lot of salt so his salt was probably fine although if he didnt have that he would have needed some. He could have salted the lard before going also.

[@sabrinacatlin6471]

I'm surprised Joe didn't set some snares around & see if he could get some of the birds/squirrels. Squirrel stew is very yummy! Or just grilled. A change from fish (which I love, but every day, lunch and dinner?!) & more calories. You might consider bringing some quinoa next time, or mixing it w/the rice - more protein. Great video, thanks so much!

"Tarp water" made me laugh out loud. Great series!

[@investigator77]

October 28, 2021, two days before MY birthday! What an awesome series Joe. I'm so impressed with your skills, and determination, but also your zen vibe when things change. You're very thoughtful, and I'm glad you are keeping that journal. When you're old like me, you'll love going thru and reading all about your adventures. I love your channel, and what you teach us. Thank you so much for taking us on this adventure!!

[@mathewsuarez3640]

I watched this entire series in one sitting and the one thing you never lost was your sense of humor, that is why I admire you.

[@Aaron-pf7eh]

Scout been walking against the newly painted walls😂

[@johnlocke7097]

Anyone else laugh when he sang happy birthday to himself?. Great stuff Joe. Well done.

[@AFutureDarkly]

Joe, your videos are relaxing and educational. I will say that on this trip I suspect you're right, and were not getting anywhere near enough fat or electrolytes. Your exhaustion had me concerned at times with you canoeing on those windy days. Easy tricks for the future are Himalayan pink salt (for electrolytes) in the seasoning (not sure what salt was in yours), and cooking with more lard (or other hiking friendly fat like smoked cheese, or ghee). Thank you for sharing your trip and birthday with us. :)

[@michaelkopysh1429]

2 things. First, it’s been said before but I’ll say again. Living vicariously through your experiences is therapeutic. Thank you. Your videos are excellent, and demonstrate a love and respect for our wilderness that I’ll use to teach my young boys. Second, every time I watched you use that lemon, and not shave some of the peel into hot oil and then do your cooking... I cried a little. Missed opportunity. The most lemon flavour is in the rind, and fat carries it soooo well. Pro tip... if your hard up for ingredients, take every opportunity to build flavour. Use that zest! You’re a champion among men otherwise. Thanks again. ;)

[@himynameishelen]

Michael Kopysh l hope that every time he cut off a chunk for his fish he was at least using the rind for tea

[@matejc3281]

If he takes the skin off the lemon it would rot faster

[@himynameishelen]

@@matejc3281 Hence why I said "when he cut off a chunk for his fish"- he doesn't have to care about the lemon wedge rotting after he's already squeezed it.

[@KB1693.]

Next time you go on a fishing trip can you make a ground oven to cook the fish? where you dig a hole, put in hot coals / stones, then your fish, more coals and then dirt, then you can go collect wood / explore and when you come back dinner will be ready.

[@Rileyhaines123]

absolutely loved this series. i would like to see you do another 10 day series where you leave Canada and go somewhere with a completely different bio

[@faithrada]

Noah Riley. Yes.. but with MORE food! No need for him to suffer for my sake. A little 'fat & happy' is a goood thing. : )

[@royharrison1209]

I wish I could subscribe twice, exactly what I want from a bush craft series. I watched every minute of it. Be sure to "stay You" Joe, great host, videographer, engineer, teacher and rarest of all completely down to earth and grounded. I wish the best to you and your family. And look forward to closely following you well documented and amazing adventures. Again outstanding series. I hate to see you so fatigued but understand its part and parcel with these specific outings. This may well be the only serious KZbin comment i've ever written. I will seriously recommend your work to others. Well done sir, you've made my week.

[@wouldhave4998]

Actually you can subscribe twice i a sense. Just click the bell button.

[@nguont]

Roy Harrison that’s an eas5 wish to grant, there’s no need to wish for that , you can subscribe as many times as you want. Just create multiple accounts and subscribe til your hearts content.

[@carololivie2095]

I am hooked on your videos. I was always a tomboy as a kid and now that I am retired I want to go back to the woods. I feel like I'm on the trips with you. Every time I slept out in my tent I woke up with a bad cold so this is great for me. I get the experience and don't get sick! I love your faces when something surprises you and love your naturally happy personality. I live in the woods and have 2 dogs that go hiking with me every day. I like to try to figure out each species of tree and I cut off all the sucker vines that are strangling the trees in my woods. I love the videos with your dog. He is in great shape for his age and still acts like a puppy. I think I would bring oranges and apples with you on your trips to eat for vitamins. I don't know how you can eat fish every day. I don't find it filling at all. I like when you explain the pros and cons of your gear and love the bushcraft parts of the videos! Keep up the entertaining work!

[@Edogawa1117]

You really deserve to be the first "Bushcrafter" to get 1,000,000 subscribers.

[@NDSMD]

TheNoobStevio I'm pretty sure Joe is just a back yard camper

[@Righteous1ist]

I advise you to keep all the fish you catch when you're out this long. Smoke it so you can make soups or eat them after reheating by the fire. This way you won't get hungry. Great episode btw.

[@davemerchant6761]

Joe are you ex military i'm disabled vet i really enjoy your vids

[@mikes6970]

Im a kiwi and smoking is what he has do,for keeping fish easy when u got fire... also whole smoked has fat which he needs...you can keep the backbone andwings, boil pick meat of ,keep juice and make soup ..he needs more salt too..and lastly good dry fatty salty bacon ,keeps and has salt and fat and protin,good for flavouring in rice..he does well though just needs learn abit more about diet.flour for camp bread use lard or bacon fat...easy things..ive lived like him at times for weeks... new zealand is amazing..?

[@projectdren806]

@mattroski007 If he broke his leg he would be calling up someone on his sat phone. This wasn't a survival worst case thing..it was a challenge and vacation. If he was in danger or needed help, he had it there. :)

[@rainyrainold]

Yes, I was thinking this all three times he threw a fish back. I also probably cooked the smaller fish just gutted and whole, I heard that there are important vitamins in the eyes and fat in the brain and skin.

[@ibrahimboiemonyt]

yea smoked is a good choise

[@digitalsamurai42]

Duuuuuuude totally should have eaten that lard. It's absolutely healthy for you. It would have given you sooo much energy.

[@Tyjshellnavy02]

Gabe Lee I agree it was apparent that he was going into Ketosis and Joe doesn’t have much fat on him. Awesome videos.

[@celticbarry9877]

Yeah, he could have fried up the fish in it, then boiled the rice, then added the fish and more lard and fried it all up again every time. Would have tasted nicer and gave him more energy.

[@brodady369]

yeah, I left a long comment explaining my thoughts in the last video, the effects of a lack of fat calories was very evident in his cognitive abilities and demeanor as the series went on.

[@kurtiswick7022]

Ya man. The use of the lard and boiling the rest of the fish would’ve provided a lot more fat cals and energy over lean protein

[@nguont]

He also should’ve eaten most parastatals of the fish instead of just the fillet

[@willk5413]

A whole hour and a half! Awesome!

[@bobthebob8817]

Thanks Joe, I loved this series because you was alone and pretty much self sufficient. Your fishing is on point these days and it was great to see you release the ones that you didn't need. So many good things to say that it makes me lost for words. Thanks for sharing your birthday with us and I hope you got a nice slice of Bday cake when you got home. Loves to you and fam.

[@TheLawdog008]

Joe, I'm a city boy with a country heart. I love getting out on a lake and enjoying the scenery and the serenity. Unfortunately, my job keeps me in the city with very little time to get away; so I say thank you for allowing me to come along on your little excursion. Cheers!

[@andi2234]

[@CoryLunaDrums]

Drop this man a like. Gotta help him push this amazing channel its inspired and taught me and I'm sure others as well, thanks for everything you do Joe. Happy birthday dude

[@rayy.8952]

Meanwhile I'm just sitting here thinking "he feels terrible because he should be eating 2 fish per day." It's quite a lot of volume, but a low calorie food. Your lard could have padded the diet better, even just melting a tablespoon or two into the rice. And even a lemon rind is edible (and good in soup stock or lemon tea) if you boil it out. Boil your fish heads and peels, stew your rice and fish, finish it out with a good blorb of lard and a pinch of the veggies. I think you probably only got about 1100 Kcal / day!

[@bena3341]

Yea even just using all the lard would have made a huge difference.

[@vexaris1890]

And make a stew out of the fish heads & eat the livers.

[@rtlo6511]

Not only did you manage to have a totally sick trip with no bad incidents, but you landed two trophy pike. Massive fish man. Good content.

Happy Birthday and thanks for all the hard work it took to bring us along with you. Very beautiful.

[@anitapaulsen3282]

Loved this series, your beautiful camp, that beautiful forest. Enjoyed vicariously being out on the water and in the forest, camping and fishing, enjoying the sunsets and sunrises. Enjoyed going along on your days, one after the other. Although it was tiring for you, it was really relaxing to watch. Get some rest now.

At 1 hour 8 min and about 20 sec. Joe paused when he was thinking about how perfect this trip was for his 34th. Im 30 and I am in Boulder Colorado. I drove across the USA to be here and when Joe paused and reflected, it made me pause and reflect on the goals I've accomplished especially as i look up at the beautiful flatirons in Boulder right now. Great stuff Joe! 🏞

[@hedgie6165]

I watch the whole thing back to back. Thers is something so calming and peaceful watching Joe as he uses his skills and knowledge to survive in the wilderness. He mst be a bit fed up with eating Pike though, but he caught some big fish!! Amazing scenery and sunsets. It was one of the most enjoyable videos I have seen on KZbin, thanks Joe.

[@dhawthorne1634]

I hate wearing gloves too, but you have to take care of your hands. Next time you should try taking a few more herbs and spices. Mustard (powder) is good for burns, basil and thyme are antimicrobial, fennel seed is good for digestion, rosemary and chilies are great for congestion and colds and excessive amounts of black pepper can help headaches. Dried or fresh chilies are also great topical pain relievers (just avoid using them near more sensitive areas). Personally, I prefer a small jar of tiger balm if possible. Honey is also antimicrobial, great for burns and an excellent binder for making poultices. You can add more flavor to your food as well as having a decent light weight medicine pack. If you can find wild mint or wintergreen, rubbing the oils on your skin is great as a bug repellent and for itch relief. They are also drying oils that can help clear up poisons like ivy, sumac, oak and hemlock. To use any of these is pretty simple. If the ailment is internal, make some tea or add it to your food. (Tea acts quicker). If the ailment is external, apply directly and cover only if you are going to be moving around a lot. Fresh onion or shallot bulb juice is also good for burns. Fresh Garlic is good for cuts and blisters. Fresh ginseng root is great for headaches, exhaustion and stomach problems, but is a bit trickier to find. Thyme and fresh oregano are more or less cure-all's and can be added to any application. Fresh sage thrown on the fire can do wonders for insect suppression and can be added to teas for energy and colds. Fresh evergreen needles, particularly pines, are good for colds as well. When I worked as a chef, knowing what herbs and spices can be used to quickly treat an injury has helped me recover in record time more times that I could probably remember. I also use this all the time when I'm out fishing or hiking. Spice jars are smaller and lighter than a med kit and each item is more versatile. Since I grow most of this myself it's also free for me, as well. That doesn't mean I don't also have an Israeli bandage, adhesive bandages and a few alcohol pads just in case, but the amount I have on me fits into the box my wallet came in.

[@oskari61]

That's sounds like way more work than alcohol, ibuprofen, soap and a band-aid. I do agree on the Israeli bandage (whatever that is) and the rest...

[@auzzierise2704]

He actually has a point a lot of these things are grown at home originally as cures to various issues and are the reason they ended up common place in cooking. I would maybe say this is better for homesteading than trekking but knowing the uses is always good for improvised medicine. Some things can even be used to substitute serious medicine like dietetics {I think this is the right word} to aid in fighting kidney failure until you can get back to real help. Things like dandelion can be live saving if you know what to do and use.

[@27law7dah1]

Awesome series! Watched all 6 videos in one go. Thanks Joe for taking me along with you one this amazing journey with you. You chose beautiful camp site with a view you can see for miles. “It’s a beauty”

[@rainyrainold]

Also, I'm not sure if there was salt in his steak seasoning (I'm assuming there was) but if not I would have taken some. If you don't get enough salt then your body can't properly hydrate it's self.

Nothing goes to waste in the wild. Something benefits from every death.

[@aneilaseyiekeretsu]

Joe you're one of the most grateful people around. We're born in the same year and you're elder to me by a few months but your insights into life are years ahead of me. I'm learning alot watching your videos. I'm getting inspired to start keeping a journal again like I used to, start being more grateful and enjoy in the little things that seem insignificant to me most of the time. Thanks for the wonderful videos, I hope to see more of it. Keep it coming brother. And all the best to reaching 1 million subscribers.

[@JKonstanzer]

So, obviously I am well behind on all your clips, but loved this series. I have discussed with my adventurous friends and I am sure they will be fans as well. Thanks Joe, appreciate your attitude, humbleness, and be sure to thank you wife and daughter for supporting you and your adventures.

Can we get him to 1M likes for his Bday

[@RealGood10]

Maybe by his next bday!

[@Caintuckee64]

It has been an adventure in itself just to watch your *ADVENTURE* , you took some chances on Beary Beary Island! Not sure I would try that without at least a large caliber handgun (I know the law is what it is). The things you shared we experienced vicariously. *THANK YOU ! & again HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOE!*

[@keisha717]

Yeah, No gun and NO COFFEE. I'd rather be waterboarded that go without both for 10 days. I suffered vicariously watching Joe survive without coffee. I'd have activated my rescue beacon by day 3.

[@faithrada]

Keisha K. Haha I know hu?

Bear spray is considerably more effective than any caliber of pistol. And, it doesn't actually kill the bear who's only "crime" is being in the same spot as an intruding human.

I just spent the whole day watching this mini series, and I feel like I was there. Even I have had enough Pike now and am looking forward to spaghetti. . ;-)) It was absolutely wonderful. Thank you for making this! I'm chronically ill and on my bed 23/7, so to be able to live this through watching is phenomenally wonderful for me. Again, thank you!

[@cainenj1755]

ya it really did feel like I was there to and did you say you were realy sick

[@scotyfilms]

Joe, your birthday morning section most definitely captured my heart and many others I'm sure.

[@superdarly1577]

Taking my first solo camping trip tomorrow in Ontario. Your stuff has been a great inspiration, and this video is going to make today move soo slow at work :(

[@andreasweber5638]

Oh boy, are you ever going to eat pike again? 😂

[@Swipe650]

Just watched the whole series back to back on a rainy Sunday. Very enjoyable indeed.

[@keithwilliams2101]

I've been watching your videos for about a year now. I've watched this series 3 or 4 times now. Don't watch regular tv any more. Love your stuff. Camped all my life. Haven't been in ten years. Inspired me to get out with family again. Thanks joe

[@LoneWolfShaz]

I watched it all love from Sri Lanka

[@kittymorse7402]

Thanks for sharing Joe....I enjoyed the sun sets and everything. Safe trip home.

[@DannyOConnor]

Haha -- Pike, rice, spice and veggies; Sounds like a commercial jingle from an old TV advertisement. Bam son!

[@dondiddy7529]

Never watched any camping stuff on youtube before then i found this channel and have been binge watching and this series is probably the best thing i have watched on youtube!

[@Norman-Bates]

Hi Joe, I'm a new subscriber, I have watched and enjoyed this entire series... I look forward to watching previous and future episodes... Thank you very much

[@jermblaster]

My girlfriend and I just binge watch this series. Thank you for making this :)

[@billywalton87]

this has been great man. i work third shift all alone in my office with nothing to do and watched all of this over the course of a couple of nights. I really appreciate the content! Thanks for making these videos for us.

[@kc8ppo]

One of the things that makes you great at this, Joe, is that you look through the camera, and make us all feel like we are with you. You talk not to a group, but to a friend sitting by the fire sipping coffee. Love the videos! Keep them coming.

[@g2macs]

Thanks, mate, looking forward to the next one!

[@lynnmoore2664]

Awesome from start to finish! Thanks so much for doing this series Joe.

[@lillymaypatterson6375]

Yes, I sure enjoyed it. Thanks for taking me camping.

[@BradMangas]

Hey there Joe, really glad I came across your channel. This little "mini-series" is the first thing I have watched (just finished the whole thing), awesome fella!. Look forward to watching lots more stuff. Lots of respect to you for what you do and share it with us. Take care. Live free and happy.

[@alexpearson8481]

Great video. Try eating more of the lard with the fish in the absence of carbs. When low on energy it will help big time. High fat diet. The Inuit have been doing it for thousands of years. Give it a try. Don’t be afraid of fat. Too much sugar and carbs are the real enemy, not fat.

[@shieldmaiden000]

Exactly! Too many people are on the wrong path of ideas when they think higher carbs are better. Sugar is the enemy to the body. Carbs should be taken in very few amounts; but when you have nothing to eat make sure you get that fat. Eat all the parts of the fish...the skin and eyes too. Hunt for slugs, grubs, roots, mushrooms (if you know the difference in good and bad mushrooms)berries, etc. There are plenty of plant life out there that he should have partaken in. I love watching his videos, but being an avid outdoors person I know the importance of proper preparation for outings such as this and how a balance diet is one of the most important things to consider when out there.

[@shieldmaiden000]

And to be honest; I would have kept all my fish and smoked them to jerky so that if I did become too exhausted as he was experiencing, I wouldn't have had to go out to fish. The fish would have been already cooked and ready for me in case of an emergency.

[@mawmawvee]

Carbs are not bad if you know which are the right carbs and they can boost your energy for longer term. He boiled the life out of his fish. He could have made a good stock out of the head and bones of the fish to boost the nourishment of the rice. I hope he didn't get back home sick.

[@434outdoors]

Alex Pearson true protein is fat fat burns to energy energy gives muscle

[@alexandertsigaridas5411]

If you eat the wrong carbs, meaning processed carbs, then it is bad for insulin, heart etc. Unprocessed oats, boiled or baked potatoes, yums and sweet potatoes or rice are OK. Your animal fat consumption should be 20% of your total daily fat consumption.

[@BlueTardis70]

Happy bday....going to miss this series...

[@junkiexl86]

I've watched this series a few times now and it hits me every time watching you break down camp 😢 I know it's hard for you to do these, but I especially love these extended stay solo trips, wish you could do more of them.

[@wildturkey1186]

Screw it the Loons are out! Gotta love it man. That was precious. Thanks for the series man. Hoping for another one. Please. Please. Your wife is a saint btw. 10 days is a long time.
