THE TENT. Fishing in July. Joe and Melissa. Campfire. Tent cooking. Thunderstorm. The dogs.

[@kunkymonkey]

I really enjoy your videos at the tent! Exactly 30 miles from my house I own a little over 10 acres and I have a trailer that identifies as a cabin on it I really enjoy going up to it, I don’t have electricity up there so it’s a little different that your setup but I’m still really proud of it!

[@johnemery9634]

Keep plugging away you'll get it how you want it. I don't have power at my shack over by babbitt. But it's nice

[@kunkymonkey]

Thank you one day I want to build me a actual cabin on it but we are gonna get the wife a newer car first and then hopefully in the next few years I will get a cabin! My place is in Kentucky and is equal distance of one hour from Louisville and Cincinnati Ohio. I’m not sure where Babbitt is?

[@Anne_9391]

When you are feeding the Whiskey Jack's reminds of The Northwoodsman 1 videos.He is also up in northern MN. Thanks for sharing your weekend with us.

[@darrellharnack8315]

Thank you Joe!!!! Your videos always relax me after a tough day!!!! I know it must be hard to make them!!!

[@Marlenesgardens]

I love a good thunder storm coming across the lake at camp, like a sheet on the clothes line . The smell of the forest once the storm passes is better than any bottled perfume on the market! So happy to see this video.

[@HannadayFLO]

Sounds great!

[@pwolfpapaw8474]

Well, it is certainly a beautiful place. Thanks for taking your time to share it with us.

[@johnl8996]

When there's all this bad in the world, it's nice to just get away and lose yourself in nature. Loved every second of it, Joe. Sorry Melissa wasn't feeling good, but still a great time. Thanks for all the wonderful videos, Sir!

[@HannadayFLO]

I'm not ashamed to say, this made me cry! I cannot believe life can be as beautiful as this - words escape me but enough to say, it appears idyllic - you both deserve good health to enjoy each and every day because you have the priorities right. Best wishes from NI UK

[@forrestlovell2218]

That would be so relaxing sitting on the porch the storm rolling in. Gotta love the tent.

[@gregwegrzyn1989]

U know it. Minnesota is beautiful. Especially up north

[@HannadayFLO]

Omg! I can't believe my luck finding these videos - absolute heavenly. Love everything about them all. ❤

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Thank you Michele.

[@sandratweedale2579]

Love sitting at the cottage and watching a storm approach. That was awesome thanks

[@StMaartenIslandBoy]

Excellent video... I always enjoy coming along... thanks

[@RumMonkeyable]

Hope Melissa, Ace Fishergal, recovered quickly. Tent videos are the best! 👏👍✨

[@SylviaVillarreal-hr5ip]

Great video it's so nice when Melissa & both doggies are together at the Tent! Of course it's always fun watching Melissa catch all the fish‼️ Tx Joe feel better Melissa

[@truckmann1762]

Nice to see some classic northern thundershowers.

[@MaryNSC]

Love seeing you feed the birds❤ Sure hope Melissa is feeling better

[@Mary-yu3sn]

Love when you both get time to fish!!

[@huntncover]

God Bless you and your family Joe . Thank you for being a hard worker , and a good friend to so many for all of these years .

[@lindafoster2141]

I am so glad just to see you and Melissa have fun!! So much negative crap in the world, you show the great side of life and days when I used to fish on Pelucan lake fighting those wonderful fish!! Enjoy!!❤❤❤❤❤❤ love from Indiana! I love those northern pike!!!😊😊

[@junewaller258]

One of the sweetest things I have ever seen is the way you have tamed the wild birds to eat from your hand

[@hank-by2ny]

Thank you, Joe and Melissa, for sharing your wonderful short stay at the tent with us 😂. Looks like Chunkie and Joanie had a very nice time as well!!! Awesome fishing footage, too bad there were so many "shorts" but still looked as if Melissa had a wonderful time!! Thank you both again so much !!

[@jodyseely1073]

It is an amazing way to relax on Sunday evening before starting the work week. Watching a tent video. I don't have a camp yet, so this is the next best thing, lol

[@sandrasherritt9708]

i loved the thunder storms; could almost smell the rain coming. A nice fragrance. We all hope Melissa is better now, was glad to see her truck pulling in the farmhouse yard, with those good dawgs. Welcome home. CamGram

[@edsecorr7812]

Great job love your videos thank you

[@johnpiland8142]

Joe you're so good at carpentry, hunting, fishing, being a dad, being a husband, etc. Life goals.

[@HannadayFLO]

He really is something!

[@debbiemcclure2874]

Hope Melissa is feeling better now. Fun video. I love ve watching yal fish😊. Tyfs God bless you

[@elteescat]

I loved it when the bird hopped on your knee a couple of times. It's so adorable the way they eat out of your hand. I hope Melissa feels better.

[@alancall5113]

love the sound of a good storm

[@bbqstation1190]

after a long day at work, just finished up its 1842 here its good to make a drink and relax to a tent video. Thanks man

[@leticia32050]

It’s a wonderful day to watch a tent video!! Thank you for the video!!

[@ferraritrip]

LOVE all your videos. The tent takes the prize!! Thank you both for sharing!

[@canuckyank82]

I would get a waterproof box and fix it in the bed of the truck for the saw, muffs, gas, oil. Set it up custom so nothing is bouncing around. Just have it in the bed for tent time. A great video. You are a happy fella when your gal is around. Take care.

[@joanneiler2415]

Awesome video Melissa's the best at fishing as always! Hopefully she's feeling better bless her heart. 😍

[@ReasontoLiveAdventures]

Nothing better than a Tent Video, on a sunny Summers evening🤙

[@heffaazul]

Amen to that. Finished yard work, got a roast in the oven, watching, eating, and passing out.

[@jimmccormick6091]

Watching that storm push past looked like a heck of a show!

[@lindafoster2141]

Melissa you go girl!!! Catch those big ones!!!

[@robertrockwell7581]

nice one Joe. love the tent. hope Melissa is feeling better. stay safe.

[@michaelpence468]

Really nice!! Great to see you both enjoying your get away!

[@pappyville7718]

Joe, I use to have a house on the bay of green bay. Never failed the day I had to go home was always the best day.

[@MeMyselfandGraham]

Sweet, thanks for another upload Joe!

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

Thanks for sharing! Praying Melissa is better!

[@rogerpultz5597]

Another great tent video 👍👍. Thanks Joe

[@kyle8408]

It's great I'm sitting here at my camp while watching you at yours

[@tanyajenkins919]

Can't wait for Melissa to get there let the fishing begin lol👍Joe I hope you will catch a couple of fish also but like seeing Melissa catch them and be at the cabin . Have a good time both you. .

[@jasoncayen1657]

Been watching u for years n i got a bunch of my co-workers hooked on ur videos now to n we gave u a nickname Joey PorkSteak😂

[@NorthernSeclusion]

I have 2 more Tent videos to edit, one I am doing pork steaks again and the one from last night I made chuck steak.

[@ap6553]

Man, you sure take good care of Melissa! 👍

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Sorry Melissa was feeling bad on the way home. Glad that you both had a good time and caught some fish. That was a peaceful day away from home. Stay safe and keep up the good videos. Fred.

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Great video. Dogs.seemed.to.really.enjoy.

[@davidjelinek1977]

Great video yet again !

[@mathbrown9099]

Opening minutes, before you spoke, showed a wonderful property. I’m so glad you take us along. Joe, if you ever get the chance to visit out here you’d find wonderful wildlife and scenery, to near equal yours by the 14,700+ft. Mt. Rainier.

[@bwcok7947]

Time for 3D tent movie! Pike jumping right in your lap was cool! 😅

[@marygordon3032]

Lol Joe you said that you were gonna kick Melissa’s but with the fishing, love to see y’all at the tent! Hope you feel better Melissa! 👍👍👍🎣🎣🎣🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯

[@outdoormerica]

I can just imagine being there with the rain...nice!

[@mikenawrocki1837]

Thanks for video.

[@MrBlackhawg1]

Thanks for the reply Joe! I can't find the original message so I'll go from memory....we are much the same. Our cabin dreams involve places not filled with people, kids, barking dogs...you know..the things we live with in our everyday life...4 hours is kinda barely where we start finding land that holds some interest....it's been a long search and we're still searching...just a spot where we might have some timber, maybe a river or lake nearby and the nearest neighbor is not right nextdoor! Anyway, we love turning on your videos and letting them go. Someday, we want to be doing just what you guys are doing! Take Care!

[@NorthernSeclusion]

4 hours is not a big deal, just make sure that when you can, you take a day off work and do the 3 day. Go up Thursday night and come home Sunday or go up Friday and come home Monday. Not always, but once in awhile. It makes that long drive worth it. Just you and your ears ringing, its priceless.

[@craigwavra3495]

Remembering when you started that last journal. Such a cool idea to document all that goes on at the tent?

[@johnhenderson3646]

Lots of fish catching, let's see some fish cooking. Freezer must be full.

[@vernareed2692]

Hope Melissa and babies don't have to drive,ride through the rainstorm!! I love Joannie and Chunky!!

[@henryleslievermont6004]

Enjoyed 😀

[@CraigGrant-sh3in]

It was funny seeing Chunky sitting there looking in the bedroom waiting for Melissa to get up

[@robertboettinger4102]

I hope the next time you go fishing you catch some bigger, fish you and Melissa had a good time fission. I hope she feels better. I can’t wait to see your next video.

[@Pattycakez1000]

11:39. Great video

[@bettyboop7738]

Joe.. Melissa ❤❤

[@Nightowl82]

Good times as always

[@vernareed2692]

Wish it would rain in Texas like that about once a week for three or four weeks!!

[@billspill]

the more i watch you,the better i like you!

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Thank you Bill.

[@robmetcalfe8902]

Love that property

[@bonniedugle1763]

Sometime when you're at the tent, I'd love to hear the story of how you got the birds to eat from your hand.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

It takes time. You start by throwing stuff out on the ground and eventually much later they come to your hand. I try and keep a snack with me when I go to my deer stands as well because sometimes they visit me there also.

[@HabitualButtonPusher]

So close to breaking 100k! By next week you should be a Double Plaquer

[@joshuawood6046]

At 6:19 or so, are those the spruce grouse you were talking about earlier the video?

[@NorthernSeclusion]

I believe the ones up by the tent were spruce.

[@MrBlackhawg1]

Another morning with Northern Seclusion.... time to go take care of the yard.... we have a question.... the birds you feed by hand.... what are they? We also like how you guys assists are usually grilling, cooking alot of meat at one time.... leftovers? :) Have a good Saturday, Joe and Melissa!

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Those birds are called Grey Jays. also called Whisky Jacks, Camp Robbers and a few other names. As far as the cooking question, we are busy during the week so whenever we cook we like to cook once and eat it for several days. Leftovers, yes.

[@ftf652]

Melissa continues to kick butt when it comes to fishing. I think you made Melissa mad with your early comment about bringing in the big fish. She really showed you who’s the master fisherwoman.

[@billbray8797]

Happy 57th Birthday Joe. Is your folks old cabin for sale? Just noticed one on a real estate website.

[@Bobby_Kells]

You got them birds sugar up with all that wonderbread

[@johnberryhill8106]

I see those temps in the 60's on your display.......it's so miserable here in Southern Missouri in the 100's and high humidity......(sigh) But, still I couldn't survive your winter's there.....lol

[@NorthernSeclusion]

It was 42 when I woke up this morning.

[@cinciman5291]

There's a saying those's who can be in direct contact with the wildlife has a calming cool enlightened spirit is that you ? 😊

[@JR-3030]

I've never seen the y bone fillet with just 1 piece, be neat to see close up how you do yours.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Here is one of my videos showing how to do it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/foXWapakfpmVe68

[@joeweber1575]

Note to one self....always take the chain saw😊

[@barbsteward5166]

So did 5he baby deer make it across the lake safely?

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Yes.

[@phillangowski5309]

Was wondering why you don't get a pop-up screened in tent. To put around your fish cleaning table. It will make fish cleaning bug free and you can still drink 🍻 🍺 🍻 🍺

[@NorthernSeclusion]

I would have to take it down every time. The bears would tear it down.

[@justintime2277]

👍FROM CADILLAC MICHIGAN

[@Northeastdeerhunter]

Great video as usual Joe. Do u get tornados up that way? Was wondering what your plan would be? A root cellar would could be an option. Stay safe and I can’t wait for deer camp!

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Yes we do. 3 of the 5 houses I have lived in my adult life had some sort of tornado damage that needed fixing. Never a dead on hit yet. My plan? Pray. Lol.

[@jws3925]

Is the lake covered with algae or something or is it an allusion? Does it take a couple hours to the tent? Joe, you seem to do absolutely everything. God bless you.

[@robertdendooven7258]

In regard to that tree that fell across the driveway, will you go back later and get any decent size wood off of it to burn? I also was wondering if you have thought about going through the woods on the Tent property and look for any down trees or dead standing trees? You could wait until the fall before it gets cold to get some of that wood bucked up and brought out to your wood pile just beyond the Outhouse. Now that you are using a wood burning boiler at the Farmhouse and no longer get wood down by the Hobby Farm property from a wood service guy, it seems like you will need to start sourcing your wood from either on yours or your Dad's property in the next few years.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

I just order 24 cord of wood at the house. You can not transport wood from one county to another in Minnesota so I can not take wood from the tent property and bring it home. It is a very hefty fine of you get caught.

[@901ronnie]

Joe I think you need a new fishing rig. Melissa’s got a big fish catching rig. You must have got a small fish rig - or even a bait catching rig. You need to look for a WC rig - whopper catcher - hard to find but worth the effort.

[@PhillipwRider]

Hey Joe how far is your tent from Lake Vermillion,by tower, Mn?

[@NorthernSeclusion]

I have never driven that route so I am not sure. It would take a good 2 hours for sure.

[@peterlondon2217]

What truck is that Joe….looks great.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

This coming February it will be 2 years since I bought the truck. I bought it out of Louisiana so it is rust free.

[@bradedwards9349]

Joe I hope you do a 2 hour duck camp.. And always a long deer hunting..

[@teresajames5993]

I saw 4 babies, momma has 4 babies running around there❤❤

[@pwolfpapaw8474]

My wife and I just started watching this. Just wondering, where are ya'll at? Definitely not below the Mason Dixon line.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

North East Minnesota.

[@rawkneepeefrompleasantvall2853]

I know there must be a hundred of those boat and motor combinations in Minnesota, but did you buy them use from over in the Valley? Not that motor, the old one.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

I am not sure what you are asking. I can go on marketplace and buy a boat and motor and have 25 to choose from on any given day.

[@rawkneepeefrompleasantvall2853]

@@NorthernSeclusion It was no big deal it's just that my father in law sold one over your way, and I thought it was sorta cool that I was watching you and here your boat seemed so familiar to me.

[@dannywakeman5212]

I don't Know if i missed it with your videos,but do you use for Power at the Camp ?

[@roberthathaway7958]

Do you know Joe when you do that I have to run to the bathroom love your videos

[@thalleshoward3962]

Is that a new camera ? It looks like a clearer video.

[@arcticdreamfrenchiesbulldo7018]

How long of a drive to the cabin from your farm house?

[@NorthernSeclusion]

About 3 hours.

[@robertcook6310]

hey Joe, how many deer have you guys harvested out of the tent?? Ive only watched the last couple years and the hunting seems pretty slow. At least the fishing and grouse hunting looks good

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Somewhere around 15 since 2007.

[@sternthomas]

Where does the water go from your shower in your sink that you use in the kitchen or does it just run out under the cabinet or do you have it running out somewhere Zells?

[@brettbales1893]

Did you sell the camper Joe?

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Yes, they will be here to pick it up within the next coupe of weeks. They are coming up from Tennessee.

[@tingbanguy1376]

how far is your house from the tent. how long is the drive each way?

[@NorthernSeclusion]

About 3 hours.

[@peterlondon2217]

Not sure how it would work but couldn’t you use a generator to heat the water….or solar…?

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Yes but the gas stove works flawlessly.
