Join me on an amazing campout in the most remote, northern location I've ever shot a video at.
I get dropped off alone by a fishing boat, on a remote northern Island in the Northwest Territories in remote Canada, left by myself to last the day and night.
I go on a huge hike to find a suitable spot to fish, I pull out about 7 or 8 small lake trout, I keep one for an epic catch and cook.
I sit by the campfire, and relax at night.

I don't watch anyone else, I feel like I am going on a big trip when you go to all these beautiful places. Thankyou so much, Joe 🏞🏜😘

[@phillollard6965]

Hey Jo you've provided a lot of people great pleasure over the years, visiting places most of us will never see, you tube has provided us all a journey , through your adventures , many more years may it continue ,your a genuine nice person , with a lovely family, and a humble disposition, appreciate your hard work and pleasure . 👍

[@ThePioneerChannel]

Yeah no kidding! I need to start making trips like this myself 😋 even though the Rockies are only an hour drive from me.

[@jimsullivan7639]

I watched my first "Joe" video when you had 180k subs. Now look at you charging toward 1M. A humble family man communicating with nature is a sure winner. Proud of you Joe!

[@mglennon5535]

Joe, you’ve done it again! Clean, crisp, original... and YES, KZbin has afforded you the luxury to be where you are, but remember that you earned it! The hard way! The right way! You set a goal, years ago I imagine and those seeds are blossoming... you work hard, damn hard, for what? Maybe there is a chip on your shoulder, but man, do you play it cool!!! Every episode you upload is a god send. Better than the rest. You strive to educate, entertain, and you give us an unselfish view of your relationship with the outdoors. It doesn’t have to be 100% Bushcraft, there is more to life than a bow drill, but you have a Knack, a Knack, for giving your audience what they want. And it’s natural. A lot of hard work but so peacefully natural. That’s the Knack! That’s why we love you. It takes it’s toll, and it shows. You work hard for us and your family and it’s time to reap the rewards. You’re bringing us your dream life, and we can’t stop watching. Be well, God bless, it’s a rocky road. Just ask Shawn. Take care, blow your nose, and please go on another lackadaisical journey with Shawn, Doug and Scotty and just roast some damn marshmallows and chill. Catch your breath, some fish and just be....... Your American friend, MG We love you, MAN!

[@sharpuslf]

Well said. God bless you Joe.

[@wolfpackairsoft8888]

Well said.

[@georgettewood8894]

Totally agree. Joe stands by his word.

[@scottdunbar4898]

I know it's a lot of work recording and editing these videos but you sure do a fantastic job and I do so enjoy sharing in your adventures. Thanks for everything and I hope you get rid if that blasted cold soon.

[@MrArthurGiles]

Joe Robinet, I like the way you tell it, no claims to being special. just you and nature all around, may you live for a long time and enjoy it all.

[@kg4zmf]

Bam, son! New Joe video! Being in a rehab facility, recovering from a broken back, your videos keep me sane. Thanks, mate.

[@Brandywine6969]

Thank you for showing all these videos from Canada. This is as close as I probably will ever be able to get to seeing it. It's gorgeous in the videos. I love it!

[@cliffordwright1603]

Joe you’ve come a long way and you deserve all the success that comes your way. When we first met you had about 30,000 subscribers. Keep up the good work. Love this NWT series

[@ericdarnell2520]

This bit at the end about being grateful at 1:03:40 resonated with me. I find myself pausing from time to time and just reflecting on where I've been and how I came to where I am. I've got a wife that loves me, a daughter that's way smarter than me, and an extended family that supports and cares for one another. I am truly fortunate. Thanks for the feels Joe.

[@Knight_Astolfo]

That image of you just throwing the fish down a cliff should be memed... the way it lands and the framing of it is just too funny.

[@Rihu92]

57:42 yes, we heard ya Joe

[@dahlmasen3084]

[@dahlmasen3084]

Kul att se att fler svenskar kikar på Joe😃

[@haze2477]

Joe farted 😂😂

[@davirodau]

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha, that was funny. I saw your comment 10 seconds before that! Hahahah

[@searsfam0942]

When I got to that part I laughed so hard I almost pissed myself 😂

[@timberdogz]

Just another great video...taking us along on another incredible adventure in an incredible location! Keep doing what you do Joe!

[@gregswintek448]

That was awesome Joe. Always fun. So glad you went around to that point. Made it feel like we were there.

[@bushcraftnorthof6012]

You like it up here, eh? It’s so wild and beautiful. Rugged and sparse, yet resources abound if you look. Next time you’re in Yellowknife, hit me up. Got a spare room, a boat, five minutes from Great Slave Lake. Seriously. Or a winter adventure? Pack some sleds, tent, stove and go bush! It’s the greatest place on earth. Wait until you see the true barren lands as well. Such humbling beauty. I had to laugh when you said your KZbin channel brought you to the NWT. The NWT brought me my KZbin channel! LOL. Message me here or on Bushcraft North of 60 on Facebook if you’re interested. Lots of good friends up here to hook you up with boats, snowmachines, planes, etc. Great video, man. I could tell you were in awe of it. Trust me, it never gets old. Take care. Glad you enjoyed yourself up here. Aaron

[@danmcalinden8728]

Bushcraft North of 60 hey does this offer apply to just joe ? If ever I’m in Yellowknife can you be my guide ?

[@bushcraftnorthof6012]

Dan McAlinden well, this was primarily aimed at Joe, one creator to another. Sorry. No guide licence for me. I just take friends out on the land. But, we do have awesome outfitters up here.

[@danmcalinden8728]

Bushcraft North of 60 I was joking when I asked , I’m in the North of Ireland , highly unlikely that I’d be just passing , but I couldn’t resist asking , Lolol , however , IF ever I come to Yellowknife I definitely look you up though

[@lastknownlocation8760]

Seems like another planet to me. Winter in Australia and I’m wearing a tshirt and still sweating. Worst drought in living memory

[@atlantic_fishing_pursuits]

[@kra_hme]

My dad lives in the Town ‘Lutselk’e’ beside the lodge you went to. I visit him every summer and seeing you react to the environment was super funny.

[@creepylurker]

[@truenorth365]

Joe! Love to watch your stuff, always makes me wanna get out there myself. Your channel really inspire people...Finally bought me the 3-season sleepingbag (WM Ultralite) that I wanted for soo long. Very happy about that one, finally I can do this stuff all year-round in Sweden. Thanks for the inspiration and all the videos. Thumbs up from Sweden!

[@lesjones2193]

Hi Joe, loving your videos here in Scotland. They’ve inspired me to get back into the great outdoors and start camping again. Thanks so much!

My wife and I enjoyed this thoroughly. Its remarkable how light it is through the night up there! Hope the trip back home wasn't too arduous.

[@alex561]

English is not my 1st language, so when Joe talked about muskox, I thought you had to spell it like this: muscocks. So I googled that.. not happy with the results that came up..

Brand new subscriber here, watched a few of your videos already but finally hit that button. I really enjoy to see you out on these trips!

[@stevezeppieri]

One of your more therapeutic vids in my opinion. So thanks for that. I really enjoyed!!!! Nice catch(es).

[@MLOOTGIIVSATTIEXD]

When you took your shoes off and left them outside, I was freaking about bugs and spiders!! In Australia we pretty much always take our shoes inside our tents or what ever. Craaaaaazy.

[@JACKAL747]

Yeah luckily we don't have Scorpions and Other little fuckers (bugs) to worry about.

[@irishfury2336]

Hey there Joe!! I just wanted to give you a huge shout out! My Fiance and I have fallen on hard times and we sadly have become homeless. We are living in a tent out in the woods right now and you sir have made it all not so bad!! We both love watching you .. learning from you and laughing with you. You have made this whole thing alot less sucky!! Thank you so much and don't you dare stop making videos ehhh!!

[@downeastprimitiveskills7688]

The wasp was going to lay eggs on the green worm, they attach to the outside in little rice like eggs and feed on the worm. The glacial striations are all over that rock. Sun dog. Some wicked nice trout, even the little ones.

[@EDMTMLFilms]

You deserve all your success Joe. Thank you for all that you do for us who get to watch you.

[@brendanmackinnon6835]

Great video Brother!! I lived in Yellowknife NWT almost 10 years if I lived there another 100 you’d still never see all of The NWT Amazing place

[@CalloftheWildOfficial]

Are the winter's as long and dark as they say?

[@brendanmackinnon6835]

Call Of The Wild yeah they are pretty dark, sun usually comes up fully by 10am and starts going down around 3pm It’s cold but I find winters in Nova Scotia worst. It’s a dry cold, hangs between -30 and -40 most of the winter but with a goose down jacket a warm sweater under it and a wool cap your good to go. Proper preparation prevents piss poor performance.

[@CliffManis]

Very good.. always be thankful for what you have and are able to do. I am 80 years old this week.

[@BushTuned]

Love the underwater shots. More release shots would be great content! :D

lol!! Yes I'm so glad others with FAR more experience do this too =) Nothing will make you feel dumber than spending hours editing, and upload it to the world and realize you dun goofed =) Got a few videos where I did this. I'm just a buhginner though =D

Joe, you are where you are not only because of KZbin, it is because you have an awesome channel and you are good at what you are doing. Keep up the good work!

I'm hooked on watching. I have spent a lot of time in the woods in Washington, and eastern ky and lived for about a year under a cliff by a river. I still get up there every once in a while. Watching joe reminds me of back then.

Hey Joe hope you are having a great day 🙂.

[@Menkalo]

Does this apply to any Joe? My name ain’t Joe, just wondering

[@danwilder7945]

You deserve the fruits of your Utube work. You work it., Like a job. I get to go with you “Every Week”. I remember my years as a Boy Scout in Fairbanks in the 60s, and my pipeline years in the 70s. Even as a 60 year old woodsman here In Texas I can even get a tip or two. If not a good chuckle. I tune in to go outdoors with you and your buds regularly. I go on half day hikes with my dog, camp when I can, cook in my backyard outdoor kitchen and rock every adventure I can. I’m happy for you and for me. THANKS JOE!

[@dahlmasen3084]

Its that bright here in Sweden too😁 I love the bright summer nights😍

[@dahlmasen3084]

And pitch black 20 hours per day in winter😓

That must be crazy to experience!

[@dahlmasen3084]

Call Of The Wild If you live here you are used to it, in the most northern parts of Sweden the sun never goes down in the summers (midnight sun) and in December the sun never goes up (Polar Nights) Atleast the summers are really awesome😁 The Winters can be a bit depressing after a while😁

[@CalloftheWildOfficial]

Wow incredible

[@dustys1110]

I grew up in Hay River on the great slave, but my father had a Bush camp on that lake for 38 years in the Simpson islands. hunting and fishing my hole life. I loved your video and I think it’s awesome to see someone else enjoying our beautiful land as much as I did growing up.

[@KentSurvival]

very nice island Joe.. bet you wanted to stay longer!

[@charlierickenbach6455]

Hi Joe thanks for another great video. And a bigger thanks for inspiring me to get back into the woods for the first time in 17 years. I was supposed to be doing a 24 hr camp but I had such a great time and relaxed it ended up being 36 hrs instead. And 25th I'm going again I can't wait. Thank you

[@classyviper1one]

Dave Robb Me too, always love camping when I was in Boy Scouts but got away from it. After watching all his videos I decided to get back into it and it was not a regrettable decision LOL

[@jamesellsworth9673]

How fine would it have been if your guide had landed you on that point? If you take that much lard for overnight, why not take salt and pepper? Love the campfire on the lakeshore! I am amazed at how willing you are to hike and hike and hike over this terrain. Thanks for taking us along. I would have landed on the fishing point, set up back up the hill in the tree line; fished; had supper and, if I had WiFi, settled in to watch the sky and read a book in between times.

[@petepeterson4540]

he has colon issues no spice

[@KaliAndy2]

Some enjoy the journey as much as the destination. You can sky gaze and read a book anywhere, you don't get many chances to explore special new places this far away from home. Also he wouldn't have had most of the video he shared with us. It'd probably as boring for him as it'd be for us watching an hour of video of him pulling fish after fish and just sitting around camp doing nothing.

[@FunnyKlatt]

Yes, after seeing that camping spot in the trees near the beach with the fire pit I spent the rest of the video thinking of how great it would have been from him to camp there. Someone could get really comfy there for quite a long time being that close to them automatic fish.

[@dianapurdy7755]

Since I found your channel I haven’t watched anything else. Your mixture of camp life adventure trips and bushcraft is spot on! Great videos amazing skills and a great personality keep me excited to see the next video :)

[@challenger2ultralightadventure]

Rugged country for sure. I regularly fly into Rankin Inlet, Hay River, Yellowknife, and other northern locations. No camera can truly capture what you see first hand. Just for your information, you might have noticed that judging distance is very difficult up north. It gets harder the farther north you go! The reason is simply the horizon doesn't drop off like it does in the south. The planet isn't a perfect sphere, it get flatter at the poles, which is why the horizon drops off farther away. That messes with judging distances up north, something that can kill you if you're not careful in planning a trek.

[@chaucerchau2833]

While it is true that the Earth is technically an oblate spheroid rather than a true sphere, the difference in diameter at the pole is to small to be noticeable. Difficulties in judging distance would probably have more to do with a lack of man made structures that help give a sense of scale.
