Joe! My friend! My significant OTHER whom I’ve known for 53 years, and whom I was married to for a time and whom has been my housemate for the approximately last 20 years passed away one week ago yesterday! Now, as I watch your familiar video once again, I am feeling softly embraced by the family feeling that I get when enjoying your company. I thank you for sharing your life with me and many others! It surely means a whole lot! Especially when your heart has a crack in it and the house feels strange! ❤️‍🩹

[@sandrasherritt9708]

I LOVE watching you unpack the groceries!

[@paulas_lens]

Oh Sandra, I am sorry for your loss. May you be surrounded by many joys that comfort you.

[@sandrasherritt9708]

Thank you so much! ♥️

[@kathyhennigan7807]

My heart and I am sure many others go out to you for your loss. Thank you for sharing.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

That is super sad Sandra. I am so sorry and I say prayers for you. Thank you so much for commenting and for watching the videos. You have been a long time subscriber and I appreciate that. I am at a loss for words for what you are going through. I have sat here looking at this comment now for over 10 minutes trying to figure out what to say, so all I am going to do is tell you exactly what i told Melissa when I read this... "Oh No, that F'ing sucks" and I did not abbreviate my words. Email me if you want to talk more Sandra. Thank you for always watching. [e-mail]

[@Unknown9022]

Love seeing your dad and you spend time together!

[@northernexplorin5795]

It makes my night when you come out with these one hour plus videos.

[@johnl8996]

I know making these videos is not easy and takes a lot of your time, but I can speak for all of us when I say thanks for the hard work! Your videos are the perfect addition to my Sunday evening.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Thank you John. I appreciate your comment.

[@bigdavesoutdoors9761]

[@CutandShoot5x5]

[@georgeburke6108]

I've never seen anyone more obsessed with the weather.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

50 degrees here at the house right now. Cloudy and raining. It has rained 1.09 inches so far today with an expected 0.68 inches yet to come before midnight. Flash flood warnings in some places with some severe storm and possible tornado threats in southern Minnesota. Tomorrows high is only 59 degrees after a low tonight of 48. Windy tomorrow and cloudy but on Thursday we have a chance at a peek of the sun but more rain comes in for Friday. Feel free to email me for the full 10 day. Lol.

[@janebrown4319]

[@kenhagen7718]

Weather and eating.

[@WiRenegade]

I smile ear to ear every time his dad is on here. The knowledge and skill gentleman has learned during his time on this big blue marble is amazing and thank your for sharing it with us.

[@mississippioutpost2895]

[@elteescat]

Your dad is so creative and talented!

[@robertashner-rf4bi]

Another awesome video Joe. Thanks to you and Melissa for taking us along once again for the fishing opener. And still can't figure out why people are leaving negative comments, that just baffles me.

[@whiskybent100]

Your dad has a great soul

[@seansmith3747]

Essentially a private lake. No neighbors. What an unbelievably perfect place to hit the reset button

[@AZJH8374]

I'm so happy that your dad lets you video. Come on grandma. Let Joe video you! We've known for YEARS that you don't want to be videoed, but at least FOR YOUR gr & great grandchildren. Please wonderful grandma & mom to Joe. Our best & beloved KZbinr!! The children deserve it!!❤❤❤God bless you and many prayers 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ ❤❤❤❤❤

[@craigporter5364]

Great way to spend a cold rainy day in Alaska thanks again Joe for another great video

[@anitathomas703]

Father does such outstanding beautiful work.

[@Lambmit]

You are so fortunate to be able to spend time with your dad. I lost my dad in 2021 due to cancer. Watching you do things with your dad brings me happy memories with my dad.

[@jeaneelmlund5248]

Your dad is so talented!! He makes lovely things.

[@user-of9il6cd2i]

Nice treat for a slow Sunday! Thank you as always for sharing your little piece of paradise sir!

[@gabeanprepper8409]

I want to thank you for the work you put in the videos. A little piece of nature is great for the mental health of truck drivers who only get a few days a year to enjoy the outdoors!!! Thanks again and shout out to all the drivers who keep this country moving.

[@randallreece3636]

Always love to see and hear your dad....such a treasure.

[@user-uo4hw9ef1b]

Not sure what's after a Master Craftsman but he is definitely more than a Master Craftsman! Legend

[@garylakin2384]

thank you Joe and Melisa love the tent videos, can't get enough of them!!

[@andrea6421]

Wow! I get ribeyes all the time here in Michigan, I won’t pay over $10 for 1. $30 is outrageous! Great video, Melissa seems like a lovely young lady 😊

[@RichardL7836]

Talk about timing. I'm looking forward to watching.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Thanks for sharing with us Joe, Melissa, and Joe's Dad. Really enjoyed the time spent with your father, he is an artist using wood and stone for his work which is awesome. She did it again, you need to pay more attention to her fishing tricks lol. You both did a great job fishing and had an enjoyable time on opening 2024. Couldn't have asked for better conditions and perfect for the Northern Lights show. Really appreciate your taking us along . Fred.

[@lifeonabuget]

Love your videos as always. Looks like you two had fun.

[@codytaylor2194]

Your dad is awesome you can tell he is a true craftsman...his wood work is not something you see everyday!..it would be awesome to see a video of all your dads big bucks and there storys maby have your dad reminisce them memories...i love hearing old huntin stories and looks like your father has a whole book!

[@72PRODIGALSON]

If you get whooped in fishing, again, we will forevermore refer to these vids as "Fishing With The Pro... Oh and Joe, too!" Lol.

[@dianajones7999]

30 $ for one Ribeye steak ! God help the poor people. Hell ! You'd have to be rich to afford that !!!

[@richardwinkler436]

you need to take out a loan to get fast food these days

[@colleenG.]

I love the boat rides you give us. Its almost like we are in the boat!!! Thank you....

[@bigd6663]

Joe, have to massage your ego. You certainly deserve it! Your videos are most entertaining, better than anything Hollywood can produce! I have watched ALL of your videos on both channels and I don’t understand why you don’t have a million subs on each channel. Keep up the good work we all know how much work it is and thank you for your effort😊

[@bigbake3306]

Thats some good livin right there!!!!

[@bigguy7618]

What a fun lake that would be for a serious fisherman! Untouched

[@outpostcamp]

I always look forward to seeing your dad’s place. He’s got such imagination and creativity. Does such nice work. Opening day for fishing and elk season are definitely days to look forward to here also. Thanks, from Hells Canyon Frank.

[@kmay0117]

Thank you for introducing us to pork steaks omg they are cheap/flavorful and always weekly with us now for dinner with a side of rice perfection.

[@bonniedugle1763]

Once again, Melissa is the fish whisperer. You can't beat that southern girl Joe.

[@craiggodfrey639]

Awesome vid Joe, absolutely an enjoyable watch, cheers best regards Craig 😊

[@crowtubecrozier2857]

I can't wait for this years deer season tent videos

[@beckyumphrey2626]

We are blessed in Georgia with freshwater fishing season and deer hunting. Fishing is Open year round with no restrictions on all species. 12 deer tags per hunter with a 3 month season. My husband and grandson filled all.their 24 tags last season. Lot of folks in need got alot of free venison. :)

[@lcook0825]

I absolutely love the stuff you and your dad make. Those birdhouses are beautiful.😊

[@LorenzoOliverOutdoors]

Beautiful work by your Dad once again. Love the bird houses!!

[@bruceneece3636]

Tell Dad the birdhouse tree is amazing his imagination is out of this world.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

I am sure he will watch this video and read your comment. Thank you.

[@BradinSiouxCity]

I like to buy smoked fish at Russ Kendalls when I'm in that part of the state

[@rugermossberg9221]

Just got home from work... heated up some pulled pork...cracked open a 🍺...and saw this was on. Going to be a great night...thanks Joe!

[@catlockhart6965]

If I was your parents I would spend my entire summers at the cabin. What a wonderful place !

[@istepheniadeluca8531]

❤so far 👌 great video- sorry I need to watch this in parts. I'm working, no fishing here😂be back later. We watch this in our waiting room our Veterans 🇺🇸 love you. God's blessings always

[@JamItJohn]

Joe, you have a place for everything, your a tidy dude.

[@sherrythomas552]

I love the tent videos, the lake is beautiful and looks so peaceful. I hope you catch plenty of fish!

[@jeffallen6191]

Well, despite the news coverage at least we know that there are some sane folks still in Minnesota. My grandparents owned a place on Buffalo Lake and my uncle still lives outside of the Twin cities. You can't help but wonder what the heck people in that state are drinking. Pretty sure my grandparents are rolling over in their graves these days. Anyway, thanks for posting these peaceful and enjoyable videos. Living vicariously through you...

[@deerslayer9point]

Awesome video! Thanks for taking us along

[@ronaldstarrett1957]

Loved the video Joe and Melissa. Loved you making a cup of tea for your lady Joe. Good example for all men.

Your Dad is so talented, those bird houses!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@lscblackwell9202]

These tent videos just bring me such joy! The boat motor takes me back to my childhood when we spent weekends at our grandparents lake house. We had a fishing boat very similar to this one and the sound just reminds me of wonderful times spent at the lake. The peepers, too! Fishing, water skiing, swimming...what a wonderful time we always had at the lake despite the sunburns and mosquitoes! Thanks for sharing, Joe. Glad you and Melissa got to go to the tent and the weather cooperate. Always enjoy seeing the dogs, too! Looking forward to your next adventure. Y'all take care and be safe!

[@jeffreycunningham7721]

Awesome video Joe and Melissa
