THE TENT. 5 hours and 40 minutes at the Tent. Talking with Dad. Storms coming. Mosquitoes.

I went up to the Tent to help my Dad with a couple of things but it was raining. I talked with him for a couple of hours before heading back to the Tent. Very strong storms predicted so we both headed home. I will be back up there in the next couple of weeks. The bugs were horrible.

[@randycornell9796]

A short Tent video is better than no Tent video.. Love seeing your Dad,cherish those moments, trust me I know.. Stay safe and have a great day.👍🤓👍🤓.Randy.

[@topfuel96]

Every video I see your Dad in, I think how fortunate you are to still have the time and still creating all these memories! Soak it in Joe and enjoy every moment on this Father's Day weekend! You are an awesome son to your Dad and I respect your patience and the respect you show him. I lost my dad going on 2 years ago on his Birthday while on a FaceTime call! I can't describe the pain and loss I have felt since even though I know he is better off and in a better place. i think about him every day while I take care of my Mom who is struggling in life. God Bless you and Happy Farther's Day, Joe! Brian from Texas

Love how your gardens are shaping up this year! Glad you got home before the storm hit!

[@ldirk58601]

I was itching for a new video but nope nope nope I cant handle those skeeters. Happy Fathers Day to you and your dad.We had a few tornados forecasted today here in south west North Dakota but for today we just got rain. That garden area and greenhouse set up is looking so good! Heres hoping we both dont get our gardens hailed out!

[@walterferguson9323]

Take a lot of videos of your dad now because when he's gone you'll wish you had. I can tell you he's getting worse in his speech from the stroke but he's sharp as ever.i wished I had videos of my dad. Great you are helping him.good job

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

I am not sure exactly how much footage of Dad I put in this video but I had almost 2 hours on video. Every video clip I have filmed for the last 13 years or so are saved on external hard drives.

Thanks Joe ! Great to see you!

[@mikenawrocki1837]

Thanks Joe for video.

[@mathbrown9099]

I can see saving some chives, especially the ones your mom gave you. But, can you please buy a string trimmer? Buy a couple. One for home, one for the tent. Also, thank you for showing us the stuff you show us. I always enjoy the vids. I truly think of you as a special friend. With a dear cousin in MSP, I would love to, with your acceptance, buy you a cup of whatever you would like to drink. Many thanks, Joe.

[@rickiewaffle9594]

Glad everyone was ok. I remember watching them on radar.

[@billmitchell7731]

Big 👍🏻. I would have stayed up there with my dad. Just to see the storm😂

[@jakeschisler7525]

My building here in Missouri was built at least 30 years ago. It's 40x65 and insulated and the old wood stove i replaced with a new one. So when the building was put up they didn't put the rat guard along the bottom of the panels. The mice population was bad. I put out traps and bait boxes and this spring bought a product that is made with stainless steel wool and it is very sharp and put them up into the ribs and put the heavy duty screws to stop them getting in and so far has worked. This material is a 10 foot piece by 4 inches wide and a quarter inch thick. So it cuts easily with snips. They send gloves but they are too small for my big hands.

[@andyfreer8463]

Great video missed the storm would have been great video at the tenth😂

[@patriciabeyer8029]

JOE!!! I have the TV on and the Rapidan Dam in Minnesota is in imminent failure condition. You should see the video. Dear God bless them and have mercy.

[@jflan8536]

Joe - What is that cupboard looking cabinet next to the front door or what I am assuming is the front door at your Pop's place?

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

Outside at the side door? That is a storage cabinet he made.

[@jflan8536]

@@JoeandZachSurvival Oh ok. I was envisioning maybe a dart board or something. Reminded me of the old dart board cases that hung on the wall.

[@dslpwr]

Hey Joe what brand is your wood burner at the tent again? We have a propane stove that works great and an old wood burner that hasn’t been used in years and is pretty large, probably similar to the I believe you use in the workshop. I was just thinking of maybe getting on that’s newer. I dunno. My parents would go up quite a bit in the summer and I prefer it best in the fall. My dad just passed away a couple days ago so I will be going up much more and much later into the season so would like to mainly use wood for heat. One of these times I’ll run into you up there as you drive right by our place going to the tent lol.

Yes. It is an over 4 hour drive for him. He goes up there alone almost weekly this time of year. He is going back up there this Thursday.

1st. It would've been a nice and relaxing evening to watch a 5 hour and 40 minute video of the tent. That being said, I would love to watch a live cam of the tent on a daily basis.

[@getschwifty8449]

Joe you and Melissa should plant a whole bunch of marigolds and lavender around the house and the tent to cut down on the mosquitoes. I been using them for my garden and lavender around the back and front door of my house to cut down the insect especially the mosquitoes. I hope this helps.

[@MeredithVidman]

the mosquitoes of MN are like none you’ll ever experience. lived there for 16 years and it’s a time of year you just have to get through. they’re bigger and meaner than any i’ve ever seen

[@chrisswain5633]

Lovely to see that your dad is going back home to be with his wife to weather out the storm

[@Rguy744]

I love seeing your Dad in your videos :)

[@jetman258]

Joe, I noticed how difficult it was for your father to get out of his chair. This is because his knees are higher than his hips. To reduce this raise the chair to get knees and hips level.

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

He has a chair like what you are saying at his house. That is his favorite chair at the cabin, he will not change it.

[@jetman258]

@@JoeandZachSurvival didn't ask to change the chair if you would of read what I wrote

I have witnessed 3 inch hail in Ft. Worth Tx. Put your vehicles under cover if possible. My new truck was destroyed.

[@HoneyHollowHomestead]

Growing up in southern NJ, we could always see the storms coming a distance away. Gave us time to "batten down the hatches". Here in east KY in the Appalachians I watch storms on the radar mostly go around us.

[@elteescat]

I grew up in the Appalachians. I always loved storms there. I loved the sound of the thunder booming in the valleys. It practically played a tune. And the massive booms from the closer valleys were always exciting. I miss those days.

O man Northern Minnesota looks and sounds like it got hammered. I have family up in International Falls and they got hail the size of baseballs and softballs. Crazy ass weather this year. We got about 1 1/2 of snow in Northeastern Washington state today.

[@suntzuwu]

It's been too long since I joined you (virtually) at the Tent. Thank you for still making these videos. My own cabin in the woods is 14 hours away so, I only get to go once or twice a year. Joining you at your Tent reminds me what I'm looking forward to.

Joe how far is the tent from your house?

First you have to turn left at Creepy Street. Right on Comment Ave (for about an hour). Turn right on Stalker Crescent.

[@leahritchie2278]

Why don’t you stay at the tent when it storms I would think that’s half the fun. But I am a huge storm lover. You know best how it is up there better than me!

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

If the power would go out at the house, which it does quite often when it storms, there is things that have to be done to keep power to the basement sump pumps of within an hour there will be a foot of water in the basement this time of year. In the dry part of summer or even a dry spring, the sump pump never even comes on but this year it has been very wet. Melissa knows what has to be done but I would not enjoy myself being that many hours away from the house.

[@robertdendooven7258]

You talked about cutting down dead Balsam trees on your property. Would you buck it up and split it to use in the fire pit and in the wood stove in late Spring and early Fall like you use Pine?

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

Yes, it makes good fire pit wood.

Joe a spinnerbait is 99.9% weedless. You can fish the dock without fear and catch great fish I bet. My personal favourite is a chartreuse bait either a single medium silver spoon. I caught thousands of fish on that bait. Give it a go you may be very well surprised at what you do catch. Ken Australia 🇦🇺
