THE TENT. First October trip. Checking deer stands. Filling the wood bin. Cold and Snow.

The first time up to the Tent this October was busy. Deer stands, loading the wood bin, scouting for deer. Snow and cold weather was what was outside but nice and toasty in The Tent. Zach and I head back up this coming weekend and deer hunting is coming fast.

[@j.s.613]

Awesome awesome, you know Joe I've never ever in my whole life ever wanted to emulate another person lifestyle, but I really enjoy yours. The setup you have at the tent, the engery you possess, the close relationship of your father and yourself, the children you've raised, and most of all the positive and charismatic attitude towards people sure make you in the top ten people I look up to in my personal life and what's funny is I've never met you in person. I really envy what you do for your following and it's highly inconceivable that I could expect anything else less. Thank you for bringing us into your journey thought your videos, it really is therapeutic to be able to just sit down, relaxe and enjoy the time you have allowed us to spend with you at the tent and the beauty of the surroundings that make your channel so great. Thank you.

[@GabrielleFreedom]

Well said!

[@cathygriffith746]

J. SHUMARD. YOU SAID IT ALL WONDERFUL GREAT COMMENT. I COULD NOT SAY IT BETTER. BE CAREFUL AND SAFE MY FRIENDS.

[@tatomonticello520]

Awesome comment very well written

[@jerryrios4774]

Great comment my friend.👍

[@johnwayne3101]

Love the comment!!

[@stevek2967]

Watching your dad walk through the woods says a lot of where you get your energy and work ethic Joe! Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

[@dbcooper692]

larry i have always thought the same thing what a great family

[@carpenterpatriot4139]

Absolutely...his dad is a seriously talented carpenter...I'd like to work with him

[@rosie4748]

I agree he gets around like a man in his 30's. I guess we know where Joe gets his go go go from.

[@SmileSQN]

I was actually getting upset that I could not watch any new videos of your journey to the tent. I have viewed several videos more than once. Love your videos more than watching T.V. Thank you for sharing! Hope you get 1Million soon. Like if you agree Joe should be at 1 Million.......;.

[@anitaskene6697]

I love your videos.. especially the lake photos from the tent, you pause enough so that the viewer can take in every detail of the photo, most just zip through and in that way you see nothing, but you do it so perfectly no matter what you are photographing... You obviously love the tent when you are out there and it is so obvious. You eat so much but not an extra pound adds to you, but you are like the energizer bunny and that is the secret success to you being slim and trim.. mmmmmmm I still wonder if there is anything you can't do? You are just amazing and each video I watch I find out what else you can do and it is never ending and that is part of what makes you so interesting and wonderful to watch.. Love from Canada

[@patriciaherman6499]

Joe I've said it before your the Energizer Bunny. The new house, your garden, making furniture, now the tent wow just makes me dizzy 😀 but God love you for your energy. Can't wait for deer season. Safe travels between all your adventures.😎

[@aftrthejake6843]

Forgot finding rocks and polishing them himself.😉

[@r7mart]

Joe, I have to say I watch a lot of different channels, but your videos are my favorite, I have been watching you for years. Thank you,

[@vic2265]

Seeing your dads cabin all finished leads me to ask once again.....LOL when you are going to build one for you. Keep up the great videos!

[@butterflyray1]

I asked a similar question as we see how lovely his dad’s cabin is but the tent is very basic and doesn’t feel finished. I just wondered why he’s not finished the tent off to a better standard. I was thinking maybe as he just does hunting keeping it basic fits with that.

[@Miss449686]

You are a hard worker -- always at it. Inspiring to others. Good job.

[@alancall5113]

One day you're going to see a Sasquatch on the camera LOL keep them coming

[@michelleellsworth3886]

Lol😂😂😂

[@MsPrincesspaulina]

Joe: Take 10 minutes and listen to this audio recording. I'd like to hear your opinion of it. Assuming this is recorded in the woods, and not done in a recording studio, what do you think this could be? You're a hunter and I'd like your opinion. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pp66iaNpn6Z-pas You can hear wolves/coyotes during parts of it but whatever else is howling.... ?? The fact you can hear wolves too makes comparison easy and sets apart whatever else is vocalizing. I don't know, man. This sounds like nothing else I've heard in Minnesota. I don't think it's moose, bear, elk, human, cougar or other cat, cows, birds. I'm not saying this is Sasquatch. I don't know what it is. Can be only 2 possibilities, either a hoax done in a recording studio or something in the woods we don't know what it is.

[@roostero]

@@MsPrincesspaulina - Sounds to me like the Abominable Snowman.

[@MsPrincesspaulina]

@Vic: It could be that for all I know. As I said, if this is a real recording in the woods, and not a hoax in done in a recording studio, then there is something running around the woods of northern Minnesota we don't know about. I don't think that's a moose, bear, elk, cougar, or any other known wild animal.

[@aussiepete2180]

What good timing..looking for something to watch...and I see the video..cheers from Australia to you and melissa ...keep them coming...cheers

[@aussiepete2180]

Sydney,,love the lifestyle of people and the scenery is beautiful

[@4wheelsonmywagon733]

Joe... a huge thanks for these great tent films. This will take the edge of a shockingly stressful week. I will sit down with a cup of tea and enjoy every moment. Well done and thank you 👋👋🤠👍

[@mongofriend3478]

All these years of being told to go low fat and now the new "trendy diet" is fats. So those delicious fatty home raised pork steaks you had there are diet steaks! You mentioned how lean factory farm/store meat is well that will probably slowly change. Lack of fats is more dangerous than having them! Taste better too!

[@shellystephan4560]

You have created a beautiful life for yourself. We all want to have a weekend at the tent. Thx for sharing your solitude with us.

[@dobber00]

How much land do you have? Is the loop all your land? Is it all your land from the paved road? Love the video and have a watch a ton over the last couple months.

[@G-Man-kc2nm]

I’m not asking why you leave. I’m asking HOW...do you leave. That place is a paradise!...Your dads place is awesome. The tent is for me, simple,sufficient and comfortable. Thank you for taking us on this amazing journey....I am subscribing.

[@jameswhite3843]

Really enjoy seeing your dad on the vid's, he reminds me of mine. We always hunted and fished together, really miss those times. Can't wait to see how deer season goes this year. Have fun and keep fighting the good fight.

[@StormLaker]

I love the drive from Duluth northward, if I wasn't tied down here where I live...I'd move to Duluth to live out the rest of my days. Your "tent' reminds me of when I was a kid in Boy Scouts...we'd go stay in similar shelters at our Boy Scout camp- real basic, no running water, wood heat, etc. Good times for sure:-).

[@survivinglife__unplugged]

Thanks for taking us with you. We're behind on seeing your video's so tonight we're catching up. Never a disappointment.

[@surfearth1]

I’d give just about anything to walk to a tree stand with my dad again. Treasured moments. Thanks for sharing.

[@johntripp2028]

Hey man, can't you get a windshield for that four wheeler, and maybe some side curtains, and a top. Yeah, while you are at it put a heater in there. Did you say 46 degrees like a summer day. Nooo. It was in the high 60's to 70's today and I nearly froze to death.

[@wallyklw5]

I love the "chugging" sound from the stove when 1st lit

[@BurtBartlow]

I drive a dodge Cummins but it always seems like ford diesels sound the best. May not pull or last as long.... but in my musician hearing they sound way more awesome.

[@muffdvr5396]

Wow .You went all out on that meal having baked potatoes with it..You part animal lol...I never see you or your dad drink coffee or tea do you both not drink it ?

[@goubertoutdoors1991]

Hey joe u could make u a ground blind an put. It on that spot.... all so joe u should try a Boston pork butt on the grill

[@jayr1757]

Love your personality, and your truck really reflects it. I've worked as a mechanic for years and your truck is probably one of the cleanest looking diesel jobs I've seen. Most of them are clapped right out from being a write off job truck. Good on you for taking care of your equipment.

[@donnahopper6029]

This is my Favorite video. Your dad is wonderful! I live in Georgia and we never see snow. Snow always looks like everything has been dusted in powdered sugar. I house sit for the doctor I work for. So, if you and Melissa ever need a sitter for the Tent, let me know. I would do it for free.

[@xwolfgard]

your videos are great, good for the spirit but please, use durable forks and plates, thank you man. Yannick from Belgium.

Looks cold up there now! I love your parents cabin, it's really beautiful.

[@vanadee1618]

Love you dad. He is so sweet and like a real person who sits and talks ahile. One of your best assets in this channel.

[@TaralgaBushAdventure]

Great to see the Tent again! Yeah, those DSLR batteries don't like the cold - I carry a spare inside my jacket pocket to get some body heat. And Polka time, forgot about that 😜

[@altheliterate]

I'll trade you some New Mexico sunshine for some of that rainfall. We need every drop of moisture we beg steal or borrow.

why dont you clear the road more so the threes dont fall ower the road all the time

[@elcholocachanilla7018]

It’s snowing already??😵😵😵

just curious..why do u haul yer stuff from truck all the way around to other door on tent rather than use the door u see in front of where u park your truck?

Great vid! My folks are heading to Cloquet this morning from their home in southern Iowa...they have my 10 year old son with them. I love your videos...it keeps me posted on what’s going on in my soon to be neck of the woods!

[@watermelonineasterhay7430]

The sun didn't come up! for days! I thought that in your landin the northeastern hemisphere it came up around 7:25 ish every morning in October like it does here in central Ontario. It's been overcast for days here too :) I haven't been back with you to the tent in a bit. I've often wondered why you call your cabin a tent?

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

I always refer to it as The Tent.

[@TiMOThy931GBO]

Bake potatoes with a pork steak?Who would have ever thought of that?lol

[@robr3015]

YES!!!! THE TENT!!!!! Also, BRRRRRR!!! that's cold. Here I thought 40 in NJ was bad. Sending good thoughts for deer season to you and your family Joe!!!

[@bamascot1]

48:10 what was that? Amouse, a shadow? It was fast, on the other side of the table from you on the floor.0

Hey Joe, By my count, I noticed *only* 12 bottles of lighter fluid... Time to *stock up* buddyyyyy :-)

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

I have more in the outhouse. LOL

[@jgoyt69]

"Try something new" I about spit out my drink! Too funny joe.

[@andyfreer1343]

Love your tent joe watch all your videos they are the best on utube

[@normanmallory2055]

Looks like you are getting close to the season start.. Good job.. I like the Tent that's quite the place.. Here is a tip about fogged up camera lens that helped me .. When you come into a warmer place after exposing your camera to the cold, right away put the camera inside a zip-loc bag and close it.. Just let it sit for a little while..

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

I will try that. Thank you.

[@normanmallory2055]

I came in from out in the forest all day in and out of the snow and had one of my pro 35mm body's in use all day.. Within minutes of going inside of my house my camera was wet on the outside just sitting on the table . I wiped it down on the outside of the body and lens but the fogging was on the inside of the lens .. It was hours for it to clear up.. I became worried about moisture inside forming so i asked my camera dealer , that's how i learned the zip-loc bag trick, it works well... I don't always carry the camera inside my coat depending on the lens mounted i'm using .. But i can put it under my gore-tex shell when it's raining to protect it ... That may help you in cold temps where you spend much of your time hunting and getting ready to hunt ..

[@sofi49100]

as always yours video are perfect....good hunts, good luck..

[@ronthibeau2862]

Great vid joe. I have to ask when are you converting tent to a full cabin. Love your dads I am assuming yours will be as nice

[@smilerpie1]

Hey Joe, What is the story behind the polka music? Is it a regional thing or do you dabble in polka?

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

I get only a few radio stations in clear at the Tent and the most clear station has Polka on Saturday mornings. It has just become the Saturday morning music after all these years.

[@jasons4882]

Always enjoy the videos - your dads house is AMAZING!

[@dottielinville8095]

Hi Joe , love the tent vidoes. I have a question, do you ever use the orange the cooler other than a prop for the fridge door? Hoping you are successful again this year hunting deer. I miss the hunting, but I'm spoiled and after growing up in the PNW where hunting with a bow is easy with access to lots of BLM and USFS land. Hunting indiana is a pain. No public lands. :)

[@Living-The-Dream]

FANtastic video.....thanks for taking us along 👍

[@northerntimberoutdoors9319]

That powerstroke always sounds good!

[@JMc.D]

Whatever happened the guys that were caught breaking into cabins?

[@wilcarcottagewaubra]

How about some old pallets, or a couple of small tree trunks laid on the ground, to raise the firewood off the ground when stacking it out in the yard.

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

I want to build a wood shed back there but have not had the time yet. When I do I will put pallets on the ground.

Another excellent video Joe, I really do enjoy your video sir. Maybe a topic of a future video I like to see how you did your shower set up with the battery it's intriguing for like an off-grid type lifestyle I like to see what you did there thank you very much.

[@GrowWithMe420]

I understand Northern Seclusion is for cooking, Louisiana stuff and new house stuff, but one of my favorite elements of Joe and Zach survival is your cooking while at the tent. #bringbacktheporksteaks

Brrrrrr....glad I'm in Florida, 91 today. But the humidity was 87%. I gotta say one thing...that paisley comforter set does not belong in a hunting cabin....put the camo back on. I know, you bought it for Melissa, and she doesn't go there that much. Camo, camo, camo...get the camo back.

37:30 There is alot of twigs to shoot through setting up there.

[@JnJTrueOutdoorAdventures]

Joe it looks awfully cold up there!! That would of scared the crap out of me to see those wolves!! Do you ever worry about the wolves when your out like that?? I see you finally got some sunshine when you went out to check your stand!! And I see the moon is out over the lake when you took those pork steaks to put on the grill. Sounds like you got a good plan for the blind! You and I have the same taste in movies Joe, Star Trek and Planet of the Apes and Twister!! LOL Was that a grouse that flew in front of the truck when you were leaving??? Don't seem when your walking in the woods, but when driving you jump them! Look like a great time at the Tent! Thanks for sharing. Juddie - J & J TOA

[@MrHowieZ1973]

Do you ever see any Black Squirrels around your area? I haven't seen one in years. Never underestimate how much your father loves you, Joe. That was something, your dad driving out just to show you where to hunt. Wish my father was still around. Great video.

[@jakeschisler7525]

I will tell you what, Joe the pork steaks in Florida where I live are pretty sad looking compared to your's! Do you think you will ever build a cabin to replace the tent? Maybe you need to build a lean to with open sides to keep firewood from rain an snow. Question pouring water down sink drain where does it go, just out on the ground? I envy your place in tent area! Deer season just around the corner, will be ready for next video!

[@3flashcan]

we must be going to have a cold winter . I'm in NC and we have already had temps at nights in the mid 40"s . And night low 40's . It usually is n the mid 50's thru Oct. Usually we don't get 40 temps until Dec.

[@billmitchell7731]

Hey Joe. That looks like a good spot where you want to put a ground blind. Wow your dads cabin is beautiful. Love his wood cook stove. You know I think those wolves are hard on the deer herd up their. Especially in the winter. They need a hunting or trapping season on those wolves.

[@ricco8733]

I am in the same business you are in. But in the northeast. I enjoy your videos. Thank your for taking the time to share your experiences with us. We appreciate your efforts.
