THE TENT. Cutting my way in. Trees down. Opening it for the season. Damage at the Backwoods Cabin.

Opening up the Tent for the season. Cutting my way in because of so many trees down. Tree damage at the Backwoods Cabin. Campfire and solitude. The Tent.

[@juliejulie1545]

An hour with Joe

[@lynnsenger9950]

For sure relaxing! I always have a dilemma when he posts. Do I watch immediately, or do I wait until I can't any longer? The longest I've waited is two hours. haha

[@robinpfeiffer6088]

I can't figure out why canvas still?

[@harrycummings2407]

I think the only one that wasn't relaxing for this video was Joe. lol

[@juliejulie1545]

@@harrycummings2407 He's the energizer bunny on steroids----a skill i wish i had.

[@TheUnit305]

The tent always reminds of a place I used to go as a kid. It was an old cabin on a lake. We would spend weekends there hunting, fishing, cooking, and goofing off. Thanks for the videos.

[@denniscote686]

Nice shot of campfire and distant interior lights inside the tent! Warm yellows and reds against the cool blues of evening! Always appreciate those cinematic touches. Good work!

[@danieljay952]

I knew Joe was gonna take care of them trees for his dad that shows what kind of heart he has

[@rishisabharwal4620]

have been watching these tent videos for ages now.. They never get old.. They r so relaxing :)

[@marianfrances4959]

Always nice to catch that glimpse of Lake Superior. Your lake is beautiful, too. Nothing like jumping right back in with the chain saw, your 'lifting' restrictions just over. That is a lot of downed trees. Continued healing and thanks for sharing the tent! 👍😎🇨🇦🌲🔥🌊

[@terrywolfe9270]

Always enjoy your videos Thank You for posting your adventures for others to enjoy also.

Thanks Joe! Take it easy! That’s a lot of work! Thanks for sharing! Love the tent !

Take it easy Joe, don’t over do it. Great video. I have been missing the tent videos.

[@roberthathaway7958]

I admire you and your dedication I’m 67 and crippled but I love your work you’re dad is quite talented my dad was a cabinet maker and a home builder I admire people who have a great talent

[@Brandonishome2024]

Hello Joe I really appreciate you and your family.I really look forward to seeing your videos.Thank you

[@rugermossberg9221]

Hello from West Fargo...the snow at the Tent was priceless. Glad to see you getting better. Can't wait for the fishing opener with Melissa.

[@mathbrown9099]

Joe, great tent video, thank you. Watch the activity level. We would hope to see you continuing to progress. We love you, Joe! Take good care!

[@mikekubiak8467]

God, I love these tent videos!!!!!!!!!!!

[@toddjohnston4788]

Thanks for taking Me along Joe, can't wait until opening fishing 😀

[@bamahomestead6323]

We use to get permits to cut up any tree that had fallen by natural causes in Francis Marion NF (South Carolina) back in the '90s. It was a $10 saw permit. How do you obtain them now days?

[@NorthernSeclusion]

I just contacted the Superior National Forest office and got the permit. 20 dollars allows you to cut 2 cords of wood, the wood has to already be on the ground of course, not live trees. 10 dollars for each additional cord. If you are just collecting for a campfire you do not need a permit.

[@francisagosh2175]

You need to watch yourself it takes 3 to 4 months to completely heal from hernia surgery. I’m speaking from experience.

[@jserkiz06]

I have Pride of Viewership! So glad to see the tent!

[@kirkvermont7965]

Mr. Joe, please take it easy, they tell you 6 weeks for a normal person; you are not a normal person and I don’t mean that in a bad way! Give it ten! Cheers from VT

[@ldirk58601]

So much work you did! I bet you were sore the next day!

[@timbowman6172]

Jeez Joe....take it easy, man. You're not 20 anymore, and it takes time to heal. I really hope your Doctor doesn't watch the channel😂. Love the channel. You really set the standard for work ethic.

[@CarolPearse-q3w]

Your videos are beyond relaxing, so pretty at the tent, calming even. Hope you’re still taking it half easy, lol, you seemed hard at it, but also a good kid to your Dad, I’m 69, and on a good day, when I can get up in the morning, and not ache too much, (which is rare 😂), I still feel like a kid, at least in my mind. Keep doing what you’re doing, seems to be working. N.S. 😊

[@sonjasleeper1511]

Clearing trees is hard work

[@sherrythomas552]

Do you ever get any bears there? I know one bear damaged the tent awhile back, but just wondering.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

There have been bears on the front porch and in the tent yard several times. Wolves as well.

[@MayWhite-bz7xl]

You might wanna do a little less lifting of trees and other heavy things, you might think your ready for all that work but your body will say otherwise if you're not careful.

[@lindaforrester8463]

I don't like when the microwave gets cleaned and the floor gets vacuumed and the table gets wiped down, that means you're going home. Just like when you take the garbage can out the driveway. Means it's over till the next time.

[@Ipfreely-ne2is]

I haven’t tuned in for a while. I wasn’t getting updates. I have two questions, did you change your KZbin handle? And also, how far in Miles or hours is the drive to the tent from home? Just curious . I have a place in northern Wisconsin. It’s a 4.5 hour drive non stop

[@NorthernSeclusion]

I post on both channels. Northern Seclusion and Joe and Zach Survival. It takes around 3-3.5 hours depending on which way I go. Used to take a lot longer when I lived at the hobby farm house.

[@thomasengle7428]

Joe, thank you for sharing! You are so energetic..I'm in eastern u.p. mi. Cold here too! Love everyone of your vids. What kinda surgery you have?

[@spingirl4855]

Glad there wasn’t more damage than that to your parents place!

[@johnrisko8719]

It’s sad that even frozen burgers are so overpriced

[@markocelic5888]

What books are under the table in the tent?

[@NorthernSeclusion]

some of them are books I got from my Grandmother after she passed away. Lots of cooking books. I do have some survival books in there as well.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Great overnight outing Joe, lots of stuff done to get to and around the tent and Dad's Cabin and everything cleaned up nicely. Take it easy on the straining, it's easy to over do it. Stay safe and keep up the great videos. Fred.

[@kennethcarpenter8589]

Joe I really felt bad for you having to cut all those trees. Hope the visit at the tent makes all things better.

[@sylviahunt3419]

Joe, when you had your surgery did they do a double mesh or a single? My ex had double hernias and they did a double mesh because of his job. He ran a debarker at a mill. His was caused by lifting on the wood. He was skinny and didn’t exercise or do anything outside of work.

[@barbsteward5166]

I know it’s hard to see something that needs to be done and not do it, but, Joe, please take care of yourself. We love you out here.

[@texastimcebuph]

The tent location is beautiful . All the trees are beautiful. Looking over the lake is breathtaking

[@TonyGeneseo]

I’ve known this video was coming and with winds we’ve had Maine I knew they’d hit you all too and especially at the tent. Wondered how cutting your way in would go still relatively close to surgery. That mesh is great ! But it’ll keep ya grabassin and questing did I do too much ? For at least a couple years which is where I’m at. lol. Happy to see it wasn’t any unmanageable damage at both Places ! Take care Joe

[@crowtubecrozier2857]

It's great seeing the Tent again. Happy your healing well Joe. Thanks for the nice long Tent Video

[@Ipfreely-ne2is]

The tent seems piecefull. Dont get another hernia

[@roberthathaway7958]

I’ve been watching your videos for years I’m jelous

[@skittycats]

Very nice to help out your dad. Sad that it happened, he has such a beautiful place and he has put in a lot of work. Bummer no birds.

[@martydix4257]

Hey joe,wanted to ask you friend,why through all these years haven't you just broke down and bought a decent riding lawnmower for the tent,just leave it out there when your done,build you a medium storage shed you can lock,it would make for a great video,and if I know you you would enjoy building it,lol have a good one buddy.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

I just have not gotten around to it yet. Lol. No real need to lock the shed, people leave things alone up there.

[@mikozuna]

Amazon Basics Batteries have been tested by A LOT of youtube channels so last almost as long as Duracel. at a fraction of the cost... just a heads up Joe.

[@timalmich1964]

Wow that was a lot of trees. Your Dad got pretty lucky that it didn’t break the window.

[@tizmelaurie1395]

jeepers !! that would have been one scary night in the tent!

[@thee.c.r.gtherealmoftheunk3717]

Joe you give a new meaning to the word " work " 👍👍🤠

[@DavidHunt-p1q]

Dude, I'm a freakin perfectionist, but you're OCD to the point of needing some help.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

I am doing absolutely fine, just don't move my stuff around. Lol.

[@srqlisa7881]

Well the last time you had to use the chainsaw to get to the tent you had snow to deal with. That might have been the first/second video I watched.

[@judyl5260]

Good to hear from you Joe!

[@Rebollozo247]

Glad your doing better. Just need to bring back polka Saturday! 😅 can't wait for the opening fishing tent video

[@lindaforrester8463]

Ohhhhh it is soooo good to be up at the tent!!! ❤

[@jeffwagner8068]

Now take it easy for a few days, when I rehabbed after mine, my surgeon told me you've got to tear a muscle down to build it back up and you're not splitting wood, which I was. You're still healing and still need to go slow is what he said.

[@doughershberger4285]

I bet that depressed your dad a little, but you helped him a lot just by cutting it up. Work is never done, just look around. See ya next time!👍🏻

[@suzisaintjames]

50:20 see that white coating inside that can of veg? That's plastic leaching into your food because you're heating it the can. 💖🌞🌵😷

[@NorthernSeclusion]

I figure that plastic coating can bond with the new mesh they just put inside me to make me super invincible. Lol.

[@johnl8996]

I'm surprised your bird friends didn't show up. They normally make a cameo when you are outside.

Gee Joe you forgot to bring Joanie the star of the show! When Melissa sees this she gonna let you have it, chopping up trees and all.

[@petepeterson4540]

clock is stopped no movement on second hand it could be 9:00 am

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Second hand has never worked. That is an atomic clock so I never have to set it, it is always the correct time. When the batteries go dead I put new ones in and it will spin and spin until it gets to the exact correct time.

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Joe, we sure miss Zach posting on the other channel. Hope all is well with him and family.

[@jobygochoco2731]

I always enjoy the clean up and get ready to leave process....satisfies the OCD in me😊

[@Brentmoran-wf9gn]

Can you not fish up There whenever you want ? Or does it have to a certain season or what? Because here in Mississippi we don’t have any fishing season it’s open all year, with the exception of red snapper and certain grouper and offshore fish way out in the gulf but for the most everything else is open all the time

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Minnesota has a fishing season. You can fish for panfish whenever you want but the bigger sought after game fish closes at the end of February and opens in the middle of may. Gives them time to spawn.

[@Brentmoran-wf9gn]

@@NorthernSeclusion oh ok I see now, I like panfish myself bluegill and Crappie ,but like bass and catfish and all that is open all the time here in Mississippi as well as most other saltwater species with the exception of a a few

[@1989Falkor]

Pine needle yard is cool

[@wmdouglas3]

Just wondering if you can get some sort of homeowner insurance for your vacation property (cabins, etc) in case a tree falls causing damage?

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Yes. Everything is insured.

[@Codyfelt20]

Been watching for years. Joe you and your dad have beautiful places. I hope to own a camp one day

If all your guts are still inside of you, you should be good to go. Take it easy.

[@vernareed2692]

My physical therapist told me when i had surgery on my hand,cast for six wks,at 3wks not using the muscles are weakest,so have to gradually with careful building back strength. Im wondering the time length it took to cut all those trees!! Did you keep track of the count,how many??

[@paulas_lens]

At moments like @42:28 I wish I could truly "know" my parents, grandparents and great(...)grandparents and their thoughts, hopes and dreams.

[@jmar665]

Looks like you gained a little bit of weight. Jeans are looking good. So glad to see you up at the tent. Another year of fishing, hunting, and good times. Can't wait to see you all once again. You did a lot of work cutting everything down. Rest up and take care. 🤗God bless.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

I gained 4 pounds during my 6 week restricted time. Now that all the spring and summer work with the garden etc, I am guessing it will be gone pretty fast.

Hey Joe how are you? Wanted to ask you are you going to put any installation around the wall where your wood stove is to reflect the heat back in the room.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

At The Tent? No, It has been working just fine for 20 years now.

[@tedbryer2512]

Our weather in eastern Ontario was crazy today. Ice pellets and freezing rain. I look at my poor garden and curse up a storm for a few minutes and go back inside. temp is still hanging around 25 to 30 f. This is nuts. I haven't been watching - so much stuff to do! Take care of that wound from surgery. It doesn't seem to bother you much. Hope everyone has a great weekend.
