THE TENT. Early July. Adding to the fire pit. Nelly the dog. Tent cooking.

A few day trip to The Tent was needed. I got the yard mowed, things added to the fire pit and a little fishing. Nelly the dog was my companion this time up and she loved the Tent. Almost an hour of video, I hope you enjoy it as much as I needed the Tent trip.

[@josephineflatt74]

Missed the tent videos of this year I know you have been busy but please do not neglect your tent videos never miss one, and thanks for this long one. god bless, old 84 year old lady from Pennsylvania. keep them coming. love ya.

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

Thank you Josephine. As fall gets closer there will be more Tent videos coming.

[@BIGBUBBADIESEL]

Ahh....a bunch of us feel better now...a dose of Joe up at the tent. What it does for you for therapy, it does in similar ways for us. Great video and thanks for inviting us along Joe, we appreciate all the footage, effort, editing and that you care to share like you do.

[@robbieburkhart8174]

It's kinda like you're there with Joe, and man, it really does take care of the stress, Everytime I watch one of these videos , I swear to God, I seem to feel a lot better bro 👌.

[@rastayouth32]

Joe, I’ve been a long time follower. I love when you go to the tent with just you, Zach or Sara. You film so much more of what really happens inside the tent. Since bringing Melissa to the tent it’s not the same. I know she doesn’t like the cam,so we don’t see what’s really happening. Just my input, for what it’s worth.

[@timberdogz]

Great to see another tent video.....something reassuring, relaxing and inspiring about them! Great looking dog you got there! Thanks again!

[@dankshot1]

this world could use more kind hearted awesome people like joe

[@elizabethwhite6364]

Joe - You do so many fun things! Really enjoy it all! You've got a little piece of heaven there! Enjoy your cooking and seeing all that you're up to! Nelly is sweet and she's a great companion, she's right at home there!

[@MOOSEDOWNUNDER]

Nice cup of tea, feet up and 52 minutes of chill time. Enjoyed that Joe, great times as always. I bet Melissa was spewing she could not be there with you. Still you had trusty old Nelly to keep you company. Cheers mate. ATB Moose.

[@theiceman5606]

Get you some of the black pots that bushes or trees come in from Lowe’s and hang them upside down and paint it with stp oil treatment and it will attract the deer flies and they stick to it and die. Works great and it’s inexpensive. Hope it helps

[@RICHROOFER1]

nelly is a great dog,thanks for bringing her along

[@tommygunz8692]

Looked like you and Nelly had a great weekend....Nelly looked very happy there....Glad to see no storm damage either....Have a good week ......T.Gunz......

[@audsmithl]

I don’t like camping. I don’t like fishing. I don’t like hunting. I don’t like “roughing it”. And yet I can’t tell you how much I ENJOY your videos! Go figure. Keep them coming please! You do excellent work.

[@valh9858]

Thanks for the video Joe. I've been weeding in the garden ALL day and I'm pooped. Your video was a nice relaxing end to my day. I drank a cold beer while watching. Love seeing Nelly (and Lil Girl when she makes an appearance in other videos).

[@behindenemylines3361]

Awesome video - Love your dog! Looks like you need long tongs for the fire pit.

[@annstockton7753]

Nelly is adorable. Fire pit awesome!

[@mojobudda]

Lovely visit to the tent, Joe. Thank you for letting us share. Love Nellie by the way. xx Mojo xx

[@TheInvisibleOne1026]

My 5 yr old just came in and started watching. He said "Dad I really like his house, it looks good.". FYI Joe you were inside The Tent then. 😀

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

Haha. Now that is awesome. Your 5 year old is getting brought up right.

[@mathbrown9099]

First, and bestest! Nellie seemingly couldn't be happier. Good vibes at the Tent. Thank you, Joe.

[@skarson7930]

Dude I could watch u do your thing at the tent all day. Keep up the great work 👍🏻

[@meldavidshea4500]

"I cant remember the last time I had pork steaks" good one!!

[@sonjabush1345]

Hello Joe, I really enjoy your videos as I am a Tennessee country gal. Love camping, gardening and fishing! I’m surprised you don’t make your own beer :-) I used to make my own wine. What fun! Lol Thanks for the wonderful videos! 👍

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

I want to but have not had the time yet. I will get around to it eventually Lol. Thank you for commenting.

[@mpgfoo]

Nelly is awesome! I love pits!

[@GlennO1961]

Ach, Joe. A good ol' long tent video...just you, nature, grilled food. Nice and simple. Polka on Saturday. No rush. No product promotions. The good ol' days. Sorely missed. P.S. At first I thought that was Joanie! I almost forgot about Nellie. Time flies. Ask me... I'm 63...just yesterday I was 23 😂

[@xxkasperxx]

Welcome to the channel Nelly !

[@HabitualButtonPusher]

Nelly is quite the mowing Supervisor. My dog would be laying on the dock napping.

[@jasongiroux8235]

That was awsome Joe, sweet video man u never stop doing stuff u are a trooper, cant wait for next vid shut out from ontario canada

[@3vilHmongkey]

The dog was like "fresh cut grass" then lays all over it

[@cynthianicholson9588]

I enjoy your videos as always. Im looking forward to your garden harvest. Thanks for sharing.

[@whitter86]

did you have another dog? not max i know he passed but i feel like i've seen a different dog in your videos

[@lisat6689]

Soooo glad to see another Tent video!! Not sure why I love these videos..... but you do such a nice job relaying what it feels like to be there we can all relate. Very relaxing to watch I feel like I just went on a vacation 🤠. Love “Nellie” very sweet and the Mushrooms look yummy 😀👍

[@CC_farm]

Thanks Joe! Watching your tent videos make me want to build one myself. Unfortunately, I don't have the same skill set as you. Looks like Nelly is a dependable companion!

[@simseremyoo]

I had to laugh seeing the dog rolling around on that fresh cut grass. Glad to see the tent in good condition.

[@MichaelEugeneShaner]

Nelly crashing into the fresh-mown grass at the 4:00-minute mark: Priceless!

[@dougbrand9701]

Her tail never stops, good puppy!

[@ToddD81]

Hit paused to say thanks for the upload. I'll watch it tonight when I wake up.

[@stoutkm]

Hi Joe, always enjoy all your videos. Thank you. It is very obvious that you put a lot of effort into them. I always feel like I am there with you. Nelly is a nice addition too. She seems very content there with you. Fantastic addition to the fire pit as well.

[@tiggers84]

Nelly is a beautiful dog! She looks so sweet.

[@richard4743]

good to see you back at the tent Joe; you seem to be in your element of enjoyment in Minn, How old is your grandson now?perhaps now is the time for a Friday over night at the tent with his grandfather and his mother and father coming up to the tent Sat pm

[@davidhawes4461]

Great video Joe! really like the new grate fire pit set up, would like to do that at our deer camp. Thanks for showing us how to do it.

[@chanelshi7167]

I really admire your camping cabin ,wonderful view and adorable dog ,wish I can have it one day in my country .

[@gregscountrycabinoutdoors7359]

Do you take your dog on the boat? My dog loves boats, she goes fishing with me, canoe, kayak, sea king, or pontoon. She whined last Saturday, I didn't have time to take her out. Lol, great video.

[@SaltyChip]

I am not a fan of mushrooms but it's true about the porttablelas(?) tasting like a steak. It's crazy and really good. I recommend anyone that doesn't like mushrooms to try one and report back!

[@paddyp75]

If it weren't for the simple fact that Joe brings Awesomeness to these tent vlogs....Then I swear it was the sheer serenity of the lake itself that draws me here everywhere time...just Had to admit

[@charlesberry9683]

Definitely weird not having to use the wood stove. Think this is the first time I've ever seen you not use it.

[@CraigArndt]

46° in July? Sweet Christmas.

[@nytejag]

That's what I was thinking Craig. 9 out of past 14 days been over 100 here at Lake Fork in East Texas!

[@dslpwr]

I have a cabin in the same area where Joe's is and was up there over the 4th and I can confirm it was 46 that night lol.

[@brickhouse8479]

I had to rewind the video like 3 times to make sure I heard him right. In Oklahoma it's hard to see 46° in the winter sometimes. I am so jealous! Great videos Joe!

[@NattyBumppo48]

Perfect temp.!!!

[@wingthequick]

Great Video. Thanks for sharing. Took my mind away from the hustle and bustle of living a city life. Cheers

[@JMc.D]

Should have called the dog shadow! She follows you everywhere! Ha ha!

[@BB-bj9hx]

Love your tent videos. Nelly is such a sweet pittie, she looked really happy! TFS!

[@bongdonkey]

Cool dog!I have a Rednose.Best dogs ever(terriers)!!!

[@johnpadilla480]

Hi Joe, i know a lot of your subscribers may have forgotten but what are you plans for putting a permanent cabin in place of the tent?

[@karolmolitor4675]

You need a riding lawnmower at the tent! More time for fun!

[@GMC-lr4jj]

LOVE THE TENT VIDEOS. ITS SO PEACEFUL AND RELAXING UP THERE. THANKS FOR SHARING. THAT'S A NICE NEW FIRE PIT SET UP. NELLY IS SUCH A SWEET BULL! TAKE CARE.

[@stephenlees9752]

it in our dry season (winter) here in Darwin an we range from 18 to 34 deg C with little humidity , but our wet season in 28 to 42 deg C with 80 to 100% humidity now that's hot. I guess you guy are more use to the colder weather. Tents looking good mate and the fire pit set up is a great addition.

[@xxkasperxx]

Cook that chuck to 203 degrees ....you'll thank me later

[@zimzim2160]

That's good thinking Joe. A little footing in the hole. Love the tent vids never miss a one. Thank you.

[@imahick5723]

You are so knowledgeable about so many aspects of projects. I love how you solve the Dilemma of the hanging cook poles.

[@duh7048]

I do the same with the mushrooms but with homemade butter garlic and sea salt! They are almost better then steak but a really good compliment to any meal.

[@joannbrewer6046]

Dear Joe, just because I'm such an OLD lady and you are my Sweet boy, I hope the next time you are spending time at the Tent, it looks like the very delicate glass chimney /globe, ( see how old I am?, cant remember what its called) on the round , very beautiful lamp that always sits in the center of your handmade tent table. It needs to be washed in mild soapy water. Those chimney s get cloudy even if they arent used. You can only see this need when you give us the final look at the tent as you head out for home. Please dont take offense, at my suggestion. I love tagging along with you as you twist and turn thru your busy, sweet, wonderful life with your friends and family. Thanks for making all of us feel include d. So fondly, mrsjob

[@denizdemircan9928]

Yo, this is a great property. Wasn't considering subscribing until I saw you put in a Voyager DVD. Now I know I'll like you.

[@fintangalway3995]

Not liking Portabelo mushrooms? She crazy!!! Seriously they have to be the best "meat" mushroom available, try the baby bellas stuffed with crabmeat Joe, unbelievable

[@BBBqqq6]

Joe, weird question but can you talk about your truck a little? You have over 180K on it and I know you do a lot of driving so I'd really like to know your opinion. I'd love to hear more about what make of truck you prefer and why...Do you do your own maintenance? Thanks for all the videos I'm a huge fan!

[@timbennett7211]

I really like the grate for the firepit...would it be better if you had put the mounting poll inside the stone ring?

[@hickoryhomes6838]

I have been a little out of touch so I'm not sure how many videos of the tent you've posted lately but I sure did enjoy this one - I've missed the tent videos. I'm amazed at how well your "white Typar siding" has held up, still looks brand new like the day you painted it. Thanks for making and posting the video Joe, well done. Cheers from Wisconsin.

[@franklyterrence4860]

Such a very neat place. This guy is just a-ok, nice family too. Good tidings....always! I have 2 Sons, oldest is 31 (has 2 baby girls 2 & 4). I need to find that Cabin in the MI Thumb where we can do these things and hunt together. I find your videos restive and inspiring. Keep up the good work!

[@MrPaulluma]

The flippin tent is badass. Good grief you made that place awesome!!! That would be like a dream come true for me having a place like that, very cool man!!!!!

[@NaomiKGarza]

I've been watching a few days now and may I make a suggestion please! Outside in front run some clear Christmas Lights from the Cabin over to the grill and Fire Pit and between the trees! That'll light up the area really good.

[@SlipFitGarage]

Thanks for the tent video, Joe. I will watch after I make this post. I was in Duluth last weekend and kept my eye open for you or your truck.

[@MrPaulinmi]

Long time subscriber here....you could be a millionaire if you taught classes in time management or how to get so much done on so little sleep...haaaa. Nelly is a great addition to the tent video. Super dry over here in MI..hopefully better over there...keep up the great videos. Cheers!

[@tatomonticello520]

Love me a tent video and I love that dog Nelly these are my favorite videos Joe I just love watching your videos

[@waynecoker919]

Joe try this with Portabella"s you will love it. Put some spinach , feta cheese, olive oil and some butter on top. bake in oven for about 20 mins.

[@keithjohnson6352]

" Hello Joe, I Really Needed Some Tent, It Was Nice Too See And Visit With You. Sorry, Melissa Couldn't Come-Up. I Bet She Is Pretty Busy With Her New Job, Maybe Next Time.!!! " THANKs FOR THE VIDEO, JOE.!!

[@nomoreqcraptruth8742]

I love your new side kick Nell , she is a good dog. Nice job on the fire pit Joe . And John Wayne ! Almost as good Gunsmoke ! Thanks Pilgrim !

[@johnm1898]

Good video. Cute dog.

[@cindyhodges6604]

Sweet, you and Nelly ,she is into you!!

[@kathyjohnson1763]

I notice when you were cutting the grass that there was a pump handle is that where you get your water for drinking and cleaning and stuff?

[@dbcooper692]

joe your video's are never dull every time i turn my computer on the first thing i do is check to see if you have posted another

[@susannepatriot6264]

Love me some mushrooms! Great with steaks! Nellie is soooo cute...I'll have to keep watching to find out the rest of her story.

[@kennethrosbury2819]

Whoever took that chaga off that tree took too much looks like they hurt the tree you're not supposed to take that much I'm glad to see you were trolling to I figure you catch a pike trolling you know if you throw a worm down about 7 foot down 2 10 foot down with a split shot and a hook let it rest on the bottom you should catch all kinds of gills that way that's the way Grandpa showed me and I've been doing it successfully for years a little split shot and a hook on the bottom produces a lot of fish

[@lisat6689]

Beautiful Pit Bull 🐾 love Miss “Nelly” and always like the Tent videos

[@himesjb]

You always get more done in 1 day than most folks do in a week. Your videos inspire me to take care of business and stay on top of the chores! Your channel shows how satisfying it is to keep a bugout location running smooth. Nelly is a nice pup -- great to see her rolling in the grass while you work. Thanks for the consistently great content!

[@leonardburns1780]

thanx for the visit to the tent always enjoy your videos ehhh

[@mem7048]

Next time you do a big chuck roast try cutting pockets into it and stuffing it with garlic cloves, sprigs of rosemary, and onion slices.

[@guns4funcajanajustin]

Beautiful area good looking fire pit area.

[@MaryNSC]

Can you get some gords and put up next to the water you want an open place martins don’t like being closed in by trees to help with mosquitoes ?

[@chynasparks1]

Love the video and your site. Looks like a great retreat. One teeny tiny opinion, it’s not a tent. It’s more cabin than tent. Having said that, I’d stay there in a heart beat

[@dbcooper692]

joe you've put 60,000 miles on your new truck already man that's a lot for how little time you have owned it

[@andybillos6796]

Joe, You sure do eat good...every time I watch one of your videos I get hungry for a steak...lol

[@sixteenstone007]

Everybody I know calls me a neat freak but I think Joe has me beat lol. Joe does water spots on your sink drive you insane? What is your worst pet peeve when it comes to cleanliness?

[@denwater7874]

Joe... long time listener first time caller. Been watching this channel for a couple of years now. Let me just say, my favorite moment was when you calmly explained that there were severe thunderstorms comming upon you.... as you meticulously cleaned the tent - without a care in the world. As if to say.... F'''' you mother nature! I'm not leaving til this tent is clean! The apocalypse itself could be upon us... BUT, Joe says screw you apocalypse I'm cleaning the tent!!, Love your channel!

[@Cimberly5]

Always pleasant to see you vacuuming in every video.

[@gsp49]

The second hand on the clock wasn't moving. Dead battery?

[@richardchayer6597]

Great video and love the polka music whenever it comes on !!!!

[@francescraft2917]

Is it Saturday morning polka time, or is it Sunday mornings?

[@kentsmith1507]

I still can't figure out how to put a roast on the coals! How does it not dry out?

[@johnacord5664]

I always enjoy your videos. I live in the desert. I have several tents. So far I do some boon docking on my front lawn. After watching this video, time to get off my back side and set up my tent.

[@wallyhatch6256]

Hey Joe, great video ! What video editing program do you use?

[@TheInvisibleOne1026]

Deer flies,,,,for us its the black flies over here at the bay. And man do they bite hard!!!!

[@coolcatcarolena4951]

What a sweet puppy dog...Sometimes when im not motivated to do anything i watch one of your videos and it helps me get off my butt! Going to go mow my lawn!

[@zimzim2160]

CoolCat Carolena that is so very true.

[@MsRavens55]

Awesome video! And your food always makes me hungry and you can't sit still for very long, can you😊

[@guren1139]

I would live there.

[@sbnsbaker1]

LOVE your Killer Pit Bull !!!!!!!! I have one of those too !!!!!!!

[@JanetWilham]

just curious=why not get a riding mower? And what happened to the other dog?

[@loooseunit]

That lake sure is pretty when its flat . Ever thought about up grading the shower or is there no point until you build the Cabin ?
