THE TENT. Opening Fishing 2016. With Sara and Emily. No fish. Snow. AWESOME!

A quick couple of days up at The Tent with my beautiful Daughters Sara and Emily. The weather sucked, no fish were biting and you know what? It was an incredibly AWESOME weekend.

[@trukklob2227]

I love how you include the tent/supply prep, and the take-down/cleanup at the end. As a viewer, seeing those routines gives a sense of familiarity with The Tent, and a sense of closure when everything gets reset for the next visit. Whatever happens in between the setup and take-down is made more enjoyable and unique because of that familiarity, keep up the great videos!

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

+trukklob Thank you. Its all part of "the trip" so I like to show it all. I am glad all of you enjoy that. Thanks again. Joe

[@andycap8469]

I'm so thankful you do these videos. I have watched so many since Covid. It's great to see your older content and see all the progress you've made over the years. Thank you for all your hard work. #porksteaks

[@MsPdog1]

I find your video's to be as relaxing as watching the late Bob Ross painting. Keep them coming Joe.

[@itsjussjerry]

I feel like I go on a mini camping trip when I watch your videos. Thanks for sharing!

[@BigDawg99xx]

That was great to see you nd your girls out there JOE...every time i spend any days with my daughter is precious..she will be off to University soon to become a nurse....thanks for the video joe...much appreciated..

[@matttuckjackson]

I would never want to leave that tent. Love the videos man keep it up.

[@JnJTrueOutdoorAdventures]

+Jerod Burgess I am with you on that!!! Sure would love to visit Joe's place, it seems so peaceful and he eats real good!!! Juddie - J & J TOA Oh, I end my posts this way so he can tell whether it is me or you from J & J TOA.

[@fredstanley5758]

Hey Joe, I really love these tent videos. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy your other videos too on both channels but there's just something about the tent videos. It's like I'm getting to live out my dream through your eyes or something, I don't know. Anyway, another outstanding video, my friend! Take care and God bless. 🙏👍

[@livelife4471]

This video captures the usual conditions of being at a camp in early spring. Bitter cold winds on the water, light snow, blow downs contrasted with a nice warm place to retreat to and have something good to eat. Enjoyed watching the video as it reminded me of my spring trips to the camp.

[@mathbrown9099]

Joe, I reallly enjoyed re-watching this video from last year. Some commenters may have raised kids long before yours were. They just don't understand the way kids are as they are beginning adults-so much stress, so much on their minds. Your girls are sweet and they love their dad. Why else would they choose to come 500 mi. each way (?) to be with you? Millennials, in their cultural setting have so many hurtles we BB's never even had to deal with that we didn't. Don't listen to the j-birds sing. I think you and the kids' mother have done a great job helping these kids become young adults--and I can only see but slight glimpses. You're a blessed man Joe, as I continue to say. Thank you for sharing.

[@MariaRamos-up9iv]

I'm new seeing Joe&ZachSurvival. This videos r some relaxing, that I don't get bored at all. Some Comments call the girls lazy, cause Joe does all the work. Joe is being himself, he edits 5hrs of filming into one, so really we don't get to see everything that goes on on the Tent. I see a Loving Father doting on his 2 grown daughters, grateful that he is able to do that, and that the girls love spending time with him. Don't judge a book by its cover , open it up and you will find a treasure.. Joe said, didn't catch any fish, but him & his girls had an awesome time.... Thanks for the videos Joe, keep them coming, God Bless.......

[@ssc5140]

I love the tent and your Dads cabin. Thanks for sharing

[@Braz1956]

As my daughter was growing up, we made 7 different trips to the Ely area for fishing/canoe camping in the boundary waters. Your tent videos remind me how much I like the area. It's been a few years since our last visit, but my daughter, grown now, says she wants to use her vacation days next summer for another trip up.

[@mpgfoo]

the backwoods cabin is a treasure. And what a great opening for the tent! gorgeous country

[@johnshipley6653]

Love the tent videos. You are so blessed to have your daughters able to go with you. Missed Ice fishing this past winter.

[@daniellesduckheadhomestead3127]

As always great food, great times and very entertaining. Your videos are wonderful!!! Thanks Joe. Can't wait for more.

[@pvbboles8122]

Just watching some of your old videos,,bringing back memories of my own exploring days when I was younger

[@patriciaherman6499]

Reminds me of my grandparents camp at Alex Bay. Fishing, boating island hopping, watching the huge ships go by, cooking on an open fire but we had a huge cast iron skillet. Great times thanks for the memories.

[@1HeavyHitr]

That is seriously a paradise.

[@ROADWARRIORMUSTANG]

TRUE

[@shehroonkhanz]

yes it is

[@Ungovernable74]

I love your videos. Always fun to watch. Thank you.

[@tedjelke8291]

same here. Thanks Joe!

[@markgomez536]

I always enjoy watching these videos. Thanks for sharing!

[@Alastair6]

Great to see the tent again. Looks like you had a great time with your girls. Dad's place is awesome! Looking forward to seeing more. Take care.

[@henryrodgers3409]

Another wonderful video Joe and it was a long one . Yea . Had to laugh at what the one viewer said about snow in May . The one time on the Victoria Day weekend ( Canadian Holiday ) which is in the 3rd week in May we woke up to 12 inches of snow . A few times the lake was frozen over and we had to wait a few days for the ice to melt before we could fish . Even had the ice flows block the entrance through the narrows . You never know what kind of weather you'll get Up North in the spring . You have a wonderful family Joe . You are a lucky man .

[@GoRogue84]

Love the longer videos - couldn't believe the snow! As always - thanks for sharing!

[@theg-man7868]

Nice to see you out at the tent again. I enjoy following your times at the tent all the way from Dorset, UK. Thanks

[@janetschneider3462]

Where in Dorset, I am from weymuth

[@Elusivecamel31]

I keep up to date with ALL of your videos.. but what i like to do sometimes is come back and watch an old one. It is so relaxing and makes me just stop giving a shit about things i have no control over. February 22, 2019 and this video still kicks ass.

[@HillbillySteve]

Totally awesome Joe! I love your sense of passion and the pride you take in everything, great video as always ATB - Steve from England :)

[@lenty2000]

I didn't have enough time to watch the whole video so i figured i would watch the rest of it tomorrow, as usual i ended up watching it to the end. Another great Video! I wish i has a fraction of the awesomness that you have there at the tent! Any time you can spend with your kids is the best time you can ask for! God Bless! keep the great vids coming!

[@davemcavene]

Always enjoy the tent videos! Great job.

[@robertrhodes9123]

hey Joe, great vid but how is it that dad does all the work & all the cooking. lol 😆😆

[@pattiwhite9575]

So nice to see Emily joining you up at the tent also this time. I think you must have had a wonderful time with those two girls.

[@whitneyhott331]

Another entertaining video Joe! Sara and Emily both so beautiful! :-)

[@debbiemcclure2874]

Another great video. Definitely looking forward to more. Love the tent n crayfish videos. Too cold for that, lol.

[@jbolf6]

The cabin is beautiful but I just love the tent, thanks for sharing

[@wclark1975]

I enjoy these videos. I wish I had a place like this.

[@danykao4134]

Looks like a fun and relaxing trip. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@beefieschannel8955]

Thanks Joe for another great video. It gets me in the mood to head up to my woods, I'm in the same boat as you and have to bring everything up, no power. I can't recall seeing what you use for powering the tent, could you let us no, you never here a generator running in your videos. These videos give me ideas for my land. Keep them coming and thanks for keeping us entertained!

[@National757]

I just started watching your channel. So excuse the comments on your older videos! Some day I hope to have a cabin like yours! Wow what a beautiful setup! I am impressed by how well organized you keep it. And how well you clean when ever you pack up camp and head home! Very nice!

[@johnwebb7096]

Glad to see this video come out. Loved the one from last year at the same time. Was glad the girls came with you, sorry the fish didn't show up. Keep up the great videos!

[@tech2480]

Good to see you up at the tent Joe...especially spending time with your daughters! Northern MN is a beautiful thing even if it's snowing in May Cheers!

[@GDanielCho]

FISHING 2016, IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOREVER!

[@ndmike]

Great video Joe! I've been looking forward to the Tent. I like at the end of the video that deer goes zooming across the highway! Damn things...lol!

[@Whatonerth33]

Finally! Been waiting for a video update on the tent. Love your videos! Keep up the good work Joe!

[@deborapettigrew1258]

Snow in May I just can't wrap my mind around that. It's 84 here with a feel like temp of 91. Gotta say I live vicariously through you in experiencing a wholly different lifestyle I have only briefly seen a very long time ago I love your vids keep them coming can't get enough

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

+Debora Pettigrew Thank you Debora. It was a bit chilly but the next trip will hopefully be warmer. I will have more videos coming. Thanks again. Joe

[@timcurry192]

Joe, thanks as always for inviting us all to your place. It's a real inspiration. I'm retiring to my own cabin on a lake in December and your stuff has kept me going, no lie. Best to the ladies.

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

Thank you Tim. I look forward to the day when I can spend more time up there as well. Thanks again. Joe

[@vdub822002]

I look forward to your videos the tent is heaven on earth it brings back memories of my uncle camp I rather watch your videos than my tv anymore I think it's awesome that your girls come up and spend time at the tent p.s Sara is absolutely gorgeous looking forward to your next video

[@joeokie9002]

Another great vid. I know you enjoy that time with your beautiful daughters. I always enjoy my time with mine but we don't have the facilities that you do. Keep em coming, Joe.

[@starrlicious2]

[@jbrooks101]

As always, thanks for the video Joe! We fished Birch Lake by Babbitt and limited out. Nothing huge, but thankful for fish in the windy, snowy weather!!!!

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

I would love for you to email me and tell me where you think the best spot at some nice sized northern pike would be on Birch. I would like to ice fish that lake but never know where to go. Its only an hour or so from the tent. Thank you. Joe [e-mail]

[@klmills16]

Love your video. Wish I had this kind of setup. It would be hard to leave. Beautiful area!

[@swanyut]

[@clairea-t7045]

I couldn't handle you doing all the cooking, cleaning and yard work , would drive me crazy, sitting on my but watchin TV. KNOW WAY!! Lazy is not my idea of cabin time!!

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

Thank you, That is sweet but they are my daughters and I rarely have them up there with me so I just do what I always do when I am alone which is most of the time up there and enjoy their company. Thanks again. Joe

[@rlavery3607]

I'M GLAD YOU SAID IT!! COULDN'T AGREE MORE. PEOPLE TODAY (NOT JUST YOUNG) AND THERE DEVICES, LOOK UP AND ENJOY YOUR SURROUNDINGS OR STAY HOME AND LOOK AT YOUR PHONES AND THE T.V.

Really enjoy your videos. Can't wait to head back to my camp at the end of the month, haven't been there since deer season.

[@icestatesmc]

Great video Joe. Too bad it was too cold to fish but you know what they say. A bad day of fishing is better than a day of working. lol Great to see you spending the weekend with the girls even tho they were on the computer most of the time. lol

[@JourneysEnd1750]

I don't think I'd want to go back home! Beautiful place.

[@TheMICRKR]

If I had enough money I would pay to own something like that and live there year round...Absolutely amazing place!!

[@JnJTrueOutdoorAdventures]

Great to see a video from the tent!!!! Joe, you can keep all that snow up there!!! Been cool here in WV for that past few days, we even had a freeze warning on Sunday!! Today's highs has only been in the upper 50's! But seeing you guys up there and enjoying the tent, cooking those pork steaks on the fire makes me want to get to our camp!! My kind of breakfast!!!! I need some of those giant eggs!!! LOL Getting those AR's zero'd takes some time and patience to get them right on. But once you do you will have a good shooting system. Man you guys eat good when your at the tent. Again glad to see a video from the tent. Hope to do a video when we go to the bus and share it with you!! Take care and be safe. Juddie - J & J TOA

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

[@Ladyshystar]

Goodness. Snow in Mid-May. The weather has been rough here the last week in KY too. I hope my garden holds. I just got a grill like that for our cabin. Comes in handy.

[@annblanchard3603]

You are a good DAD making toast like that! Love ur Vids!

[@MOOSEDOWNUNDER]

Great vid Joe, your two girls crack me up mate, youth of today i guess lol, go to the woods/lake and spend most of your time on FB and watching DVD's not like the old days Joe hey, all we had was a frisbee and a rugby ball. :-) i'm like you mate, i can't sit still, always have to keep busy and get the most out of the day.
