I've been watching KZbin since 2008 and this is by far my most favorite channel!. Keep up the great work & thank you.

[@DirectorBNI]

Neg2Pos224 mine also...great channel

[@loadeddog8015]

me too😎👍

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

Thank you for the nice comment.

[@keithsalvatore5550]

I agree.

[@gregroe1]

Ditto

[@KimJongUn-lq7dj]

Another great opener video!!! I can watch these all day long! Thanks for posting!

[@amessad]

My friend every time I watch your videos I feel as if I'm sitting right there in the corner watching you fish, cook... so realistic it becomes highly addictive!... thank you for your time, effort and for inviting us all spending time with you.

[@Northstardanes]

amessad EXACTLY!

[@maryellenbailey5500]

amessad I feel the same way it is very addictive I can't stop watching just so beautiful and serene. I love the outdoors people just don't get enough time anymore to really appreciate it.

[@frankmcatee8257]

What a blessed family. Times and memories never to be forgotten. We work thousands of hours in a lifetime, but it's the few short moments like these that will be remembered forever.

[@sandraskinny9281]

Reminds me of family camping trips

[@sandraskinny9281]

You eat better

[@billwhite7099]

These are the most relaxing videos on KZbin.

[@proudandpatriotic6829]

Thanks for taking the time out of your trip to film. I sure do love these videos!

[@DavidJohnson-pn5lf]

I wonder how many of us are living our alternate lives thru you! These are fond memories of childhood vacations in the North Woods and Boundary Waters... far from my now-home. Thank you for sharing.

[@Northstardanes]

David Johnson Yes, living vicariously thru Joe's videos!

[@MsKestrela]

This is one of the best videos ever. I love seeing able men doing things well. My dad was good, but you guys are great. I remember Zach when he was around 14? You're a great dad, Joe, and you taught him well. He's grown into an exemplary man. Nature, in all her glory, showing you the way. Poor Chester just wants to be *with*, included in whatever you're doing. He's a great dog, friend, and companion. Your dad's 'little project' turned out great! Thanks for all the years of wonderful glimpses into an alternate reality. So different from my own.

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

What a great comment. Thank you MsKestrela. Joe

[@johnwebb7096]

A great video Joe! Thanks for taking the time to put it together for us. I enjoyed seeing the dock come back together (somewhat), and the fish fry, I always enjoy. It was a happy morning for me this morning to find out you put out and hour long video.

[@Southwind2014]

I can only imagine how peaceful it must be in the quiet of the woods at the tent. Keep'm coming.

[@tonydaspoontonydaspoon3196]

Makes me want to find a place and never come back. Just moved to Wisconsin from Arizona. I am loving it. Grew up in central NY so I am familiar with the cold. Thanks for the time to make this.

[@cindyhodges6604]

This is terrific, grandfather, father, son all in a great enviorment working together, just great.

[@rosie4748]

i don't hunt,fish or get out to the woods much but I love watching your videos. Never change the format,its perfect. I'm a fan of Dick Proenneke's videos and your vids are like a modern version of that.

[@1HeavyHitr]

Now that's a compliment!

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

Thank you for the nice comment Nicki.

[@PrestonH-q5w]

Love those Proenneke videos. I would have loved to have met him. Very interesting person.

[@1HeavyHitr]

100% Nicki. Me too.

[@jksatte]

I feel exactly the same way. I love this channel. Janice

[@marybrantley2160]

I have watched your videos off and on for couple of years and find them extremely relaxing and enjoyable . Have notice how very precise you are about thing, and respectful of nature. Very nice! Continue to enjoy the tent and your beautiful countryside .

[@johnayris406]

Sure do enjoy your tent! Almost feels like I am there with you! Even your voice is comforting like a family member! Thank you for sharing!

[@mariawinzler]

How wonderful you get to go away solo for just a few days to check up on the cabin and tent. Lots of work to keep up your far away setting. I do not know what keeps me coming back to the videos I so love to watch. I miss hunting, fishing where it's totally secluded. Awesome you have the talent and professional sense to do this. I hope someday to afford some land and build an off-grid lifestyle. I have friends in MI. Maybe, I hope my partner and I can visit see how you build both your parents and your tent. Just to get ideas!! God bless you all!

[@korndogsmom]

Thank you for the blessed hour long video! There is so much I could comment on, but I will pick Chester. He sure loves and misses his boy! As I am sure you do too! Thanks for taking us along. I am sure it isn't easy sitting up the camera for all those shots. I never get tired of visiting your paradise.

[@wvmountainman7883]

Another great trip. Thanks for taking us along.

[@mbrugeman13]

videos like this make it super easy for me to not ever miss TV. great stuff you guys keep em coming.

[@schymark8392]

Fine looking Lab!! Nice seeing three generations working so hard on such a great place. Dad, Grand Dad and the young buck.Great video!!

[@neck307]

glad to see father and son get along and having fun like you guys do that's great...lost my dad when I was 14 I miss him.... thank you for sharing....

[@cindyhodges6604]

It's like heaven, watching you having a beer,cooking a steak looking out a that great view perfect !!

[@rraque60]

I can't get out and fish or hunt anymore... I'm disabled and can't walk but I do enjoy watching your videos on hunting and fishing especially when you are with Zack and the girls. Thank you!

[@CR-vn3gp]

Joe, what a great video. I love watching all your videos. You have a great place up there at the Tent. Thanks for sharing with all of us.

[@timothythomas853]

Thank you very much for all the movies I love them. Expressione The tent ones and the hunting ones in northern seclusion Love your family Joe thank you for everything

[@JohnnyTorontoEh]

Hi Joe! More Chester please :) Thanks for bring us along again for a new year. Been looking forward to it. I'll be in Eden Prairie end of this week.

[@hickoryhomes6838]

Boy have I been excited to see your 2017 Fishing Opener video - and you did great. It sure must feel amazing that last few hundred yards when you're driving to the cabin - like you're finally home again. Chester might annoy you but I like when you bring him with you. That old dock looked heavy!!! Opening morning was beautiful and you guys had a lot of action which was fun to watch. Thanks for posting this one. Looking forward to more.

[@rickarmiger4484]

Just wanted to say I Love your videos. I have 4 kids 2 boys and 2 girls and would love to have a place like this to spend quality time with them. You're living my dream!!

[@motorcyclelad]

My goodness that fish looked GOOD! Thank you for sharing Joe. I don't think you have any idea just how therapeutic these videos are for some of us. I really enjoy getting to come along.

[@kcqlin]

Always will be my favorite channel in KZbin

[@dalet6250]

Thanks for taking us along Joe. That was relaxing to watch, except for pulling the old dock out. I was sitting there trying to help get them up on the bank for you, lol. Keep the great videos coming.

[@terryporche8745]

Great video Joe! Enjoyed seeing that you brought Chester up with you. Chester comes alive up there. He really loves it, I know he can't replace Max but it's good for everyone. Three generations working together. Fantastic !!

[@shannorah]

I love the sound of the frogs! What a great weekend fishing get away at the tent cabin! Great job, just should have vlogged you guys eating the fish. Yum

[@joannedonovan9489]

Thanks for taking us with you again, Joe!

[@rickl.orchids]

great show.....what a sweet spot you have. Hope you are there for yrs....look up "Road Shower".....can make from pvc......better than water on the stove.......had one on my truck for over 18yrs, you can remove, when camping, works anywhere, with little sunshine....keep the great shows coming....

[@theg-man7868]

Superb video Joe. One of the best ever. Glad you had some great fishing, a fitting reward for all the hard work you put in. Great to share it with Zach too. An excellent adventure.

[@markd1672]

Loved the video kept me dreaming that I was there. I liked when Chester was watching the pork steaks cooking over the fire. Thanks for sharing.

[@scottlay2970]

My friend what a beautiful place you have best of luck to you and your family

[@bonecollector50]

Thanks for all your videos joe .... what a beautiful place .... keep living free my friend !!!!

[@scottc9377]

It may seem a little odd to set up a camera to do something boring or ordinary...but that's what makes this a great channel. Thanks, Joe.

[@cheriettejackson4248]

A nice, lon-n-n-ng tent video! Great shots of those wolves and beavers! I love to see wildlife, anyway! Also enjoyed footage of you with your dad and son Zach - three generations working together. Those memories will last for all of you!

[@behindenemylines3361]

Watching you guys up at the tent reminds me of a camp my Dad use to have - I spent many hours as a kid. Damn - I miss those days!

[@jeffreycarpenter7485]

This is by far the most beautiful!!! Brings back alot of memories! I am teary eyed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mattg2935]

Nice video. Gotta love those northern pike lakes, my favorite fish to catch. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures to the tent.

[@johnturner45]

Fishing, hunting and the appreciation of the wilderness, and respecting nature is really nice to see especially having a good relationship with your family. Everyone has problems in their lives, but the bond you have with your nearest and dearest is a joy to watch (especially in the UK with miserable snow, cold winds and the fishing season about to close) many thanks for the U.K.

[@rebeccacastro3852]

fantastic get away! 3 Generations right, i mean when your dad came over!? His lil pontoon was sweeeeet! Ty so much for sharing mr. poetry in motion ~○~ calming on the mind and heart! cant wait till next time!

[@butlerdawgs78]

Looks like it was another successful getaway to The Tent. The new dock looks great and will be even better when you get the rest of the T installed. Like the new pontoon boat!

[@metalwing750]

Zach is a deep sleeper wow i would of sprung outta bed from the sound of the motor lol....so glad you guys caught quite a few!

[@dottielinville8095]

Great video of the Tent. Makes me homesick for camping in Oregon. Thanks Joe and Zack for a little get away at your wonderful spot of heaven. :)

[@mellissapersad]

I started watching you on February 28 2018. Oh that was yesterday. I'm from the island of Trinidad so I'm amazed with the snow and lakes. Hence why I enjoy watching your adventures. Keep them coming

[@sandybriscoe7614]

I enjoyed watching your video. Looks like you have great family vacation site. All I could think of is what wonderful memories you are making with you father and son.

[@brendancharles6321]

Loved watching the three generations working together. An obvious bond between you.

[@danielr5637]

what a great video bud! thank you for sharing and I live in upstate NY and our area is much like your camp. but your place is so secluded and private! sure do appreciate you bringing me along! btw.... congratulations on a successful opening day fishing!

[@bojanks7269]

I had a realy bad day. This video was recovery to me. Thanks Joe...

[@SquiggySquog]

Another lovely video, well done my friend. Just the right thing to watch before I head off to bed. God Bless you and your family!

[@singleman1986]

That was a heck of a good job getting all that old dock out of the lake. Nobody hurt and no equipment damaged. I say well done!

[@mindyvaughn8217]

I have never seen a man work as hard as you do. You really don't know the meaning of the word can't. Your really sort of unusual. In a good way. I know your Dad is really proud of you. It is such a beautiful place. I love seeing the sky in the lake.

[@sandrahennon5550]

Love your videos Thanks for sharing such special times with us!

[@srh1101]

That was so enjoyable watching, beautiful scenery, great fishing and excellent food. Thanks for sharing it all with us Joe :-)

[@LVFFarmVlogs]

Looks like you and Zach had a awesome week-end! Nice weather, good fish action and the new dock is installed! Thanks for taking us along! Its always enjoyable watching your videos.

[@allorenz6591]

Great to see you and Zach working together. I removed and built a few docks back in the day, pulled them out with a Chris Craft service boat at the marina.

[@jadeponga7220]

I always look forward to watching your channel. I should eat before watching, you cooking up them Grits makes me hungry. Thanks Joe. From N.Z

[@specialrelationship]

I'm from Minnesota too but a much more crowded lake. I'd say you guys have that one all to yourselves. Lucky! Great videos.

[@BIGBUBBADIESEL]

The sound in the early evening (frogs?), oh wow, so relaxing. The ONLY thing to interrupt that is the whiz of 10lb test flying off a reel and plop, bloop of the bobber hitting the water. Excellent video. I've been binge watching them lately and can't get enough. Kudo from Peterborough, Ontario, Canada (south and very EAST of the TENT!) Lots of good fishing in the Kawarthas, need to get out more this year.

[@rhondashaneyfelt6170]

I just love your videos watch them over and over the simple life

[@techguy7987]

Jim Reeves is my all time favorite! Reminds me of my dad and fishing in Canada with him. Great video thank you for the work you put into all your videos.

[@tdfsu1]

I find it so interesting the procedures you have to go through there to secure your property from the elements. We have a weekend place on the north Florida gulf coast and have completely separate issues to worry about. For instance, we would not want to leave our canned goods down too long because they will rust and spill out. The thought of them freezing and splitting just blows my mind. I can't fathom the kind of cold y'all must have there. Or how you have wolves roaming around your back door where down here it's black bears that drive us nuts to the point we have to have bear proof garbage containers. This country is soooo vast and covers so many different climates that it's just really neat to see how other outdoorsmen handle the various situations thrown at them. But at the end of the day we are all just that, lovers of the great outdoors, whatever our particular slice of paradise may be. Love the videos!

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

Thank you. When I am in Louisiana with Melissa it is totally different like you said, so much humidity to deal with. up here it is -30 winters. The outdoors is beautiful though wherever you can get out in it.

[@edp2260]

Out here in the west in my 'off grid/on grid' cabin (ie I have power like you, but it is rustic) we have a different situation. Heavy rain in the winter, then NO rain for 5-6 months. Can't have a campfire in the summer. Everything's dry as a martini. 12 BIG fires in the area in the last 2 years.

[@PaulDGreen-bu4iz]

Great video Joe and Zach! Thank you for sharing!

[@ghostnotes5667]

My favorite channel....good food, great life! Thanks for sharing!

[@deborapettigrew1258]

That looked like so much fun. Thanks for sharing. I'm envious

[@johnbrinton3873]

I normally cannot watch similar videos for anyways near an hour, but at the end of yours I find myself wishing it was longer! I think you have found just the right format. Your tent is in such a beautiful location, it reminds me of my childhood with my Grandfather! Nice video, thx for sharing!

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

Thank you for the nice comment John. I am like you, if the video is long I know I will be skipping through it. People seem to like the longer videos on The Tent so I try to keep the video long and the clips short. If I get bored editing it I know others will get bored watching. Thanks again.

[@gx72x]

You know what's great is your challenging technology.And you are winning.

[@eazyduzitbro5648]

wow an hour video!! hell yeah.

[@peshewa0529]

These are excellent videos. I enjoy them so much. Thank you for sharing.

[@kittenbritches]

Another fantastic video. Love all the fishing. You are hard working man. Reach out and love on Chester now and then. He wags his tail and just loves ya'll so much... but we don't see him getting love in return!!! Zach did pet him on the dock at one point, but that's a great dog. Thanks for sharing and keep filming please!!

[@johngallagher2313]

Thanks for sharing your good times. The tent is a great place and I see why you enjoy it so much. Chester had a good time too

[@danielvillalobos827]

Man ,what I would do for a little place like that! Would spend my days fishing and hunting, campfires and some Jim beam with some cast iron cooking....thanks for sharing your adventures my friends!

[@subtech1451]

Usually the deer camp videos are my favorite but this was absolutely awesome! Hope y’all are doing well!

[@MrPaulinmi]

Another great video...have you thought about using floats instead of sinking posts on the last dock section. Thats what a family member of mine did and it works great. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

[@garyc8208]

Man, you do it up right! Nice video. Makes me remember my families fishing camp in Glenmora La. A two week stay was normal in the Spring time. Had to heat water for a bath too. Love your channel.

[@caraoosterhouse7348]

Awesome opener. What fun to pull a bunch of nice ones out of the water! Love that big bass.

[@1956lakota]

Absolutely loved it...my kind of place to camp and fish...a great spot family and friends

[@portugeeprepper6821]

Making some more great memories at the tent. Thanks for sharing joe.

[@Scott.Farkus]

That's a nice getaway spot there. Enjoyed the video. I noticed you were wearing some memory foam Sketchers, I did 19 miles on the trail in mine the other day and my feet didn't get very sore at all.

[@bobkd5fjd823]

Awesome time at the tent. Wish the heck I'd had one in my younger days.

[@JnJTrueOutdoorAdventures]

Great video!!!! I just may have to take a trip to camp this upcoming weekend since it is mine and my wife's 38th wedding anniversary. Of course our camp as you know Joe is a deer hunting camp, but it is only a 5 minute drive from camp to Sherwood Lake. We need to do some things to camp, clean up around it and work on a porch we are starting. Really enjoy watching you and Zach out there fishing and love that pontoon boat!!! Like to know more about it. Those are some nice fish you guys caught. That is a nice bass you guys caught and looks like you guys were really having some fun. It is just so peaceful looking up there!! Looks like a lot of work filleting those fish!! Never had pike before. I figured you would of used that big frying pan you hung on the porch of the tent Joe!! Man those fish look tasty!! I always hate to hear that your getting ready to head home, that means I have to wait for another episode of The Tent!! Thanks for sharing your trips to the tent Joe.

[@jasonstoltzfus6540]

Thanks Joe and Zach for sharing your father, son trip. I enjoy watching your video Joe. They are very educational. I was thinking, when you were using the four wheeler, why doesn't he use his truck, then you did. Haha! Shouldn't leave the diesel at home Joe! Just kidding with you. When you cook on the campfire, what wood do you use? I know you have apple wood but wasn't sure if you were using it. Take care Joe, Zach, Pop, George and the rest of the family!

[@RodneyPairrett]

Love it, Joe. A great getaway place you have there. I really like Zach's pontoon boat. Being from South Alabama, I immediately started humming that song "On The Pontoon" as soon as I saw it. lol

[@ShelKim1991]

Happy to have a new, nice long video at the tent to watch! Thanks!

[@yardog64]

My pop used to take me fishing every year in the U.P. We'd catch northern, walleye and sometimes bass. He passed 6 years ago and I haven't had the heart to fish since. Your video made me want to jump in the Jeep and head for the lake. Thanks for sharing :) Yvonne from Indiana

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

Thank you Yvonne. I think it is time that you take the time and go fishing.

[@robertwells1993]

Good on you Zach! You guys got the work done with the dock, and fishing! Great to see the three of you on the water together, well done men!

[@bobyoung2015]

Fantastic video, I really enjoy them.

[@dblockk522]

thanks for sharing. always enjoyable and peaceful

[@Gamerheretic]

I have to say watching this episode brought many memories of my father and I doing stuff in the backyard messing with trees and cars and such. I found myself reliving my youth and wishing my kids had done stuff like that. Maybe when they get older. But they are to much into gaming and staying inside. I guess times have changed. I will admit that ever since I have joined Joe's channels I have been making up more excuses for my family to ne outside more. My dad passed in 2012 and I have seen myself change (for the better). Next stop is a camping trailer and some road trips are in our near future. Thanks Joe and Zack for being your selves and sharing it with community. We need more real people in this world like you all. Keep up the awesome work! Love the channels!!!

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

Thank you for the nice comment, The whole gaming thing has changed everything, kids stay inside, the outdoors ends up being a chore. I am not a gamer, Zach is not a gamer, some of my kids are and you can see the difference. I am glad you are taking the initiative to get them out on some future road trips, they will remember them and cherish them forever and maybe...... just maybe.... they will do the same with there little ones and the traditions will continue. Thank you again. Joe

[@japnjim9684]

Zach, it is obvious that dog loved the hell out of you. You should be very proud of that. It shows what kind of young man that you are. Jim in Yosemite, Ca.

[@kenstv1415]

The popcorn and movie I've been waiting for, Awesomeness.

[@Alastair6]

Love the long vids, Joe. What a great spot! I gotta tell you this, when you told Alexa to play Jim Reeves, mine went off too and started playing Jim Reeves!

[@wilcarcottagewaubra]

Love the morning shots from the tent

[@jdhorton1432]

Thank you so much for sharing your time/trip with us!

[@nectcruiser]

Absolutely great vid Joe You had the perfect weekend for all you had to do and it all worked out just fine Glad to see Zach could join you for such a good weekend That made the work go quicker and the fishing much more fun Thanks again
