THE TENT. Opening Fishing 2016. With Sara and Emily. No fish. Snow. AWESOME!

A quick couple of days up at The Tent with my beautiful Daughters Sara and Emily. The weather sucked, no fish were biting and you know what? It was an incredibly AWESOME weekend.

[@MsPdog1]

I find your video's to be as relaxing as watching the late Bob Ross painting. Keep them coming Joe.

[@livelife4471]

This video captures the usual conditions of being at a camp in early spring. Bitter cold winds on the water, light snow, blow downs contrasted with a nice warm place to retreat to and have something good to eat. Enjoyed watching the video as it reminded me of my spring trips to the camp.

[@Braz1956]

As my daughter was growing up, we made 7 different trips to the Ely area for fishing/canoe camping in the boundary waters. Your tent videos remind me how much I like the area. It's been a few years since our last visit, but my daughter, grown now, says she wants to use her vacation days next summer for another trip up.

[@fredstanley5758]

Hey Joe, I really love these tent videos. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy your other videos too on both channels but there's just something about the tent videos. It's like I'm getting to live out my dream through your eyes or something, I don't know. Anyway, another outstanding video, my friend! Take care and God bless. 🙏👍

[@theg-man7868]

Nice to see you out at the tent again. I enjoy following your times at the tent all the way from Dorset, UK. Thanks

[@janetschneider3462]

Where in Dorset, I am from weymuth

[@johnshipley6653]

Love the tent videos. You are so blessed to have your daughters able to go with you. Missed Ice fishing this past winter.

[@patriciaherman6499]

Reminds me of my grandparents camp at Alex Bay. Fishing, boating island hopping, watching the huge ships go by, cooking on an open fire but we had a huge cast iron skillet. Great times thanks for the memories.

[@1HeavyHitr]

That is seriously a paradise.

[@ROADWARRIORMUSTANG]

TRUE

[@shehroonkhanz]

yes it is

[@pvbboles8122]

Just watching some of your old videos,,bringing back memories of my own exploring days when I was younger

[@MariaRamos-up9iv]

I'm new seeing Joe&ZachSurvival. This videos r some relaxing, that I don't get bored at all. Some Comments call the girls lazy, cause Joe does all the work. Joe is being himself, he edits 5hrs of filming into one, so really we don't get to see everything that goes on on the Tent. I see a Loving Father doting on his 2 grown daughters, grateful that he is able to do that, and that the girls love spending time with him. Don't judge a book by its cover , open it up and you will find a treasure.. Joe said, didn't catch any fish, but him & his girls had an awesome time.... Thanks for the videos Joe, keep them coming, God Bless.......

[@Ungovernable74]

I love your videos. Always fun to watch. Thank you.

[@tedjelke8291]

same here. Thanks Joe!

[@Elusivecamel31]

I keep up to date with ALL of your videos.. but what i like to do sometimes is come back and watch an old one. It is so relaxing and makes me just stop giving a shit about things i have no control over. February 22, 2019 and this video still kicks ass.

[@lenty2000]

I didn't have enough time to watch the whole video so i figured i would watch the rest of it tomorrow, as usual i ended up watching it to the end. Another great Video! I wish i has a fraction of the awesomness that you have there at the tent! Any time you can spend with your kids is the best time you can ask for! God Bless! keep the great vids coming!

[@beefieschannel8955]

Thanks Joe for another great video. It gets me in the mood to head up to my woods, I'm in the same boat as you and have to bring everything up, no power. I can't recall seeing what you use for powering the tent, could you let us no, you never here a generator running in your videos. These videos give me ideas for my land. Keep them coming and thanks for keeping us entertained!

[@GoRogue84]

Love the longer videos - couldn't believe the snow! As always - thanks for sharing!

[@aaronkeener95]

Find your channel last night and watch about 15 videos. Love what your doing with it. Sorry about Max and the divorce. Hope to see another Lap in your future videos

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

Thank you for the nice comment Kris. Joe

[@deborapettigrew1258]

Snow in May I just can't wrap my mind around that. It's 84 here with a feel like temp of 91. Gotta say I live vicariously through you in experiencing a wholly different lifestyle I have only briefly seen a very long time ago I love your vids keep them coming can't get enough

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

+Debora Pettigrew Thank you Debora. It was a bit chilly but the next trip will hopefully be warmer. I will have more videos coming. Thanks again. Joe

[@markgomez536]

I always enjoy watching these videos. Thanks for sharing!

[@daniellesduckheadhomestead3127]

[@robertrhodes9123]

[@wclark1975]

I enjoy these videos. I wish I had a place like this.

[@thunderboltchastain3065]

Oh, the Winter rushing water is incredibly beautiful, and the surrounding woods.. all so awesome!!

[@jbolf6]

The cabin is beautiful but I just love the tent, thanks for sharing

[@starrlicious2]

It makes me so happy to see you excited to have the girls with you. Its so clear you adore your kids. Thats awesome.

[@HillbillySteve]

Totally awesome Joe! I love your sense of passion and the pride you take in everything, great video as always ATB - Steve from England :)

[@GDanielCho]

FISHING 2016, IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOREVER!

[@johnwebb7096]

Glad to see this video come out. Loved the one from last year at the same time. Was glad the girls came with you, sorry the fish didn't show up. Keep up the great videos!

[@Ladyshystar]

Goodness. Snow in Mid-May. The weather has been rough here the last week in KY too. I hope my garden holds. I just got a grill like that for our cabin. Comes in handy.

[@kpham8789]

WOW! So beautiful. I love your place.

[@JuliaSochnikova]

Joe, your cabin looks like heaven! If you ever wish to come to Hawaii, we would love to do a house exchange with you!

[@sarahbethsstitching9937]

love this. makes me wish I had a little cabin like that for myself:}

[@lasitir]

I truly enjoy watching your videos .I do not get to see that type of scenery very often living in South Alabama...

[@xmind123]

It's so inspiring and peaceful watching your vid. want to spend more time close to nature. thank you for sharing.

[@JourneysEnd1750]

I don't think I'd want to go back home! Beautiful place.

[@klmills16]

Love your video. Wish I had this kind of setup. It would be hard to leave. Beautiful area!

[@claire_A-T]

I couldn't handle you doing all the cooking, cleaning and yard work , would drive me crazy, sitting on my but watchin TV. KNOW WAY!! Lazy is not my idea of cabin time!!

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

Thank you, That is sweet but they are my daughters and I rarely have them up there with me so I just do what I always do when I am alone which is most of the time up there and enjoy their company. Thanks again. Joe

[@rlavery3607]

I'M GLAD YOU SAID IT!! COULDN'T AGREE MORE. PEOPLE TODAY (NOT JUST YOUNG) AND THERE DEVICES, LOOK UP AND ENJOY YOUR SURROUNDINGS OR STAY HOME AND LOOK AT YOUR PHONES AND THE T.V.

[@mkaysartfuljourney1239]

Nice that the girls are up with you before they grow up and are busy with their own lives. Which I know they are now. Cherished memories.

[@ndmike]

Great video Joe! I've been looking forward to the Tent. I like at the end of the video that deer goes zooming across the highway! Damn things...lol!

[@3flashcan]

Man that looked like a fun walk . Cold and beautiful. Every body should know how to handle a gun. Glad to see you teaching your daughters to do that .

[@Whatonerth33]

Finally! Been waiting for a video update on the tent. Love your videos! Keep up the good work Joe!

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

+Joshua Tapia Thank you Josh, the weather will be better next time. Joe

[@albertapeet]

great video I am always amazed at the amount of food you make for meals

[@Andy_M986]

The Back woods Cabin looks like a movie set,so cool!

[@jonnyl.98]

I enjoy watching your video :)

[@trukklob2227]

I love how you include the tent/supply prep, and the take-down/cleanup at the end. As a viewer, seeing those routines gives a sense of familiarity with The Tent, and a sense of closure when everything gets reset for the next visit. Whatever happens in between the setup and take-down is made more enjoyable and unique because of that familiarity, keep up the great videos!

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

+trukklob Thank you. Its all part of "the trip" so I like to show it all. I am glad all of you enjoy that. Thanks again. Joe

[@TheMICRKR]

If I had enough money I would pay to own something like that and live there year round...Absolutely amazing place!!

[@JnJTrueOutdoorAdventures]

Great to see a video from the tent!!!! Joe, you can keep all that snow up there!!! Been cool here in WV for that past few days, we even had a freeze warning on Sunday!! Today's highs has only been in the upper 50's! But seeing you guys up there and enjoying the tent, cooking those pork steaks on the fire makes me want to get to our camp!! My kind of breakfast!!!! I need some of those giant eggs!!! LOL Getting those AR's zero'd takes some time and patience to get them right on. But once you do you will have a good shooting system. Man you guys eat good when your at the tent. Again glad to see a video from the tent. Hope to do a video when we go to the bus and share it with you!! Take care and be safe. Juddie - J & J TOA

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

+J & J True Outdoor Adventures Thanks Juddie, I look forward to the bus video. Joe

[@mawpatti]

I really really enjoyed this video!! I could live out at that lake!! so peaceful and awesome areas! I would redo that warf on the water and make it higher though...my spot to fish!! LOL love the cabin! Thanks for sharing with us! :-)

[@recon66661]

[@SquiggySquog]

I love your videos Joe! Great spot you have up there.

[@goingsomewhere9382]

another great video they are great to watch thanks for sharing

[@icestatesmc]

Great video Joe. Too bad it was too cold to fish but you know what they say. A bad day of fishing is better than a day of working. lol Great to see you spending the weekend with the girls even tho they were on the computer most of the time. lol

[@droveby3342]

i love your videos i wish i lived on my farm in Indiana but i am stuck in sucky Florida, i hate the heat.

[@arthurstacey2730]

MAN I COULD LIVE OUT THE REST OF WHAT I HAVE OF LIFE IN THAT AREAFULL TIME ,,, IT WAS REALLY NICE TO SEE MOTHER NATURE PROVIDING YOU WITH A COUPLE YEARS OF FIREWOOD ALL YA GOT TO DO IS GATHER IT CUT IT SPLIT IT STACK IT, YOU ARE VERY LUCKY PEOPLE

[@stevearmstrong9071]

Great to see you and the girls spending time together. I don't know that I would even consider taking my fishing reel out of the closet if it were that cold. haha Looked like a great time; thanks for sharing.

[@MOOSEDOWNUNDER]

Great vid Joe, your two girls crack me up mate, youth of today i guess lol, go to the woods/lake and spend most of your time on FB and watching DVD's not like the old days Joe hey, all we had was a frisbee and a rugby ball. :-) i'm like you mate, i can't sit still, always have to keep busy and get the most out of the day. ATB Cheers Moose Down Under.

[@isisheggs8065]

Such a great dad so thoughtful I just lost mines

[@deadendoutdoors6659]

Really enjoy your videos. Can't wait to head back to my camp at the end of the month, haven't been there since deer season.

[@danburch9989]

A bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work. What you have is 1,000x better than living in the big city.

[@Jeff_fit808]

Yea I'd spent a week with this guy. IDK he makes camping look fun. keep up with the great videos.

[@ttttttttp2]

The wind was a problem in the twin cities too! So don't feel bad and think it only happened up north. It was really cold and extremely windy here too x)

[@bryandunlop5662]

your a great man and father!!! keep up the great work. so many people are haters like you said they can watch something else and stop with there rude comment. thanks your canadain fan cheers.

[@geohac2456]

what a blessing that must have been for you. awesome.

[@donaldcrawfordiii6672]

great vid like always. keep it up

[@imari2305]

Hey Joe I've been watching your videos for some time now and I have to say, I just love when you and your children spend quality time together up at the tent; and your dads cabin which by the way is absolutely beautiful. Your tent is lovely as well. I'm a city girl born and raised but my mother was from SC so I did get to have some outdoors time growing up. I've tried to get my kids to go camping but lol it's just futile so I watch you and your family and imagine I'm tagging along, I finally hit the sub button so I'll be watching and following. God bless :-)

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

Thank you for the nice comment, I am glad you subbed because I will have many more videos both here on Joe and Zach Survival as well as my other channel Northern Seclusion. Its much easier to get the kids to go up (and still not super easy) to the tent since it has many of the modern conveniences of home. We did go "camping" camping when they were kids but mainly for hunting and stuff. I look forward to more of your comments on upcoming videos. Thanks again. Joe

[@imari2305]

You're so welcome and I can't wait to see what new ideas you have to share. :-)

[@marieharrison150]

Love seeing some of the family

[@andybillos6796]

Joe,,,always enjoy watching you guys...it looked cold...lol... best regards

[@tfelix769]

thanks for the video you always have good ones thanks again

[@cabincreek1692]

Were you doing dishes? By the way, I'd take Northern Minnesota over Louisiana seven days a week. Nice video - its always enjoyable watching you cook up dinner.

[@mleolahi80]

Great vid as usual! Missed this place :)

[@angelaforaker1574]

hey Joe you are so lucky beautiful daughters and nice looking son. a family to be so proud of . a nice father , mother and siblings a very nice lady friend you take care thanks for sharing.

[@annblanchard3603]

You are a good DAD making toast like that! Love ur Vids!

[@HJMC3345]

My grandfather had the wood box at his house that could be open from the outside. This allowed him to charge up the wood box without going through or into the house. It also had an opening Inside the house so you could take the wood out of it without opening the door. He also had an ice box that opened to the outside so that the stuff could be kept cold by the outside temperature. This house was built in the 1920s when refrigerators were not generally available. In the 70s when my uncle remodel the house of that was taken out.

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

Very cool, I love the inside outside fridge idea. Thank you. Joe

[@HamsterLife_EnglishLearning]

Just wondering why you call the hunt camp cottage "The Tent" ? I don't see any tents on the property lol. I love all your video's. BTW if you get an old wire coat hanger you can bend it in half to make a bread holder for making toast over any kind of flame. Thanks for sharing!

[@Olympia_Outdoors]

another great vid. joe. ty for sharing.

[@deanmorriss7184]

Hi Joe great video ,just love the tent cheers Dean

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

+Dean Morriss Thanks Dean, I cant wait to get up there again. Joe

[@johnmcdonald5274]

I love the tent videos!

[@jonseopa1913]

another good video ,with that snow up here it felt like opening day of deer season not fishing opener

[@MrDstapleton77]

I was laughing so hard watching you take those potatoes off the grill Lol. Great video joe.

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

+MrDstapleton77 How stupid right? I have tongs in my hand yet I am burning my fingers trying to remove the potatoes. LOL. Thank you. Joe

[@MrStirCrazy]

Is that up by lake of the woods? In Wisconsin here, looking for land in northern Wisconsin by water, its nice that the girls spend time with you out there and they love to fish and be out doors that's a plus!! so peaceful out there.

[@rodneyhightowerjr.4327]

This is great! I could totally spend a few weeks out there. I'm jealous

[@victorhebert5774]

Love your place, nice. Who will clean the road with all those bent trees? Believe we saw a deer at the end. When are starting your new cabin?

[@jayrich2744]

What a life!!!! I wish it was that easy for all of us!!! Be happy and stay healthy! BC w/O health there's no life... :(

[@ryanfranck5494]

looks like à relaxing weekend!! nice video!

[@sabrinasabrina3686]

keep up the GREAT WORK.

[@MP-vk2fb]

o how i luv watching your videos

[@tackyman2011]

You want deer at that deer stand, try to grow some roses and keep them nice. Deer will come in and demolish them.

[@KCBarr1]

I get a kick out of you calling your hunting/fishing camp a "tent". I stayed in a tepee north of Edmonton , Alberta for the better part of a winter, and I gotta tell you brother, there ain't much tent like in your set up. Now our deer hunting camp is similar to this, except we have solar power, no TV, no wi fi, an unheated outdoor shithouse, a 45 gallon drum, or a beaver pond for bathing, and a wood cook stove that devours wood like a 70's Caddy devoured gasoline. All in all though, every minute spent there is heaven. Enjoy!

[@dnngskn62]

Even though the weather did not cooperate this time I enjoyed my first trip to the tent this spring. We'll catch some fish next time.

[@Gryffster]

Just watching...I feel my blood pressure dropping. You may have saved my life :-)

[@proteous1018]

I liked the shot of you driving through Duluth, right past my office window.

[@陳圳榮]

能住在湖畔的小木屋渡假真幸福！

[@jamestrowbridge29]

Joe, I really enjoy your tent videos. I admire your tenacity on the upkeep of your stuff. Not to be judgemental but, wouldn't you and your family enjoy your pier more if you fixed it up? Love your work!

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

+James Trowbridge I bought the new dock last year but work is so busy that I have not had the time to install it yet. I did the one section and then knew I have to have two of us to do it. I hope Zach makes it up sometime this summer to help if I have time. I am now working everyone 6 days a week because I have such a backlog of work projects and just making it up with my daughters this last weekend was tough to do. I do hope to get it in sometime this year though. Thanks James. Joe

[@srh1101]

Great video Joe, sods law the weather improved on the day you had to come home :)

[@22justus24U]

Do you ever have strangers visit the cabin when you are away? Wondering what the card and pen were for. Do you have stories to tell about that? Enjoyed seeing that snow here in hot, balmy S.Carolina!

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

+22justus24U The note pad on the table is always there so when I walk in the door next time I can write down the time, temperature inside and outside etc. The note pad stays there always and I update on whats been happening, who comes over etc throughout the day. Each evening I then go over my "notes" as I fill out that days "Tent Journal" I have kept a journal since the first day I walked the property and before we started clearing the driveway. This is my third journal, I have two that are full. Thank you. Joe

[@TheCrepest]

Best time of the year

[@renealynnmn]

Looks like you had a nice relaxing time.

[@petermundy3339]

Nice to see you back at the cabin Joe, Being from down-under I don't know the laws but you said that the area is locked up over winter, is it possible to live in your cabin all year round if you wish or is it only for warmer months use??

[@russellraposa2461]

ever think about planting a garden up at the tent . maybe rootcrops or something that needs no tending . beets potatoes turnips
