THE TENT. The first spring trip of 2017.

[@100Ronster]

He was so proud to bring back your bobber, That's a retriever for you. Lol

[@danjennings6817]

That's 1 awesome dog! I wouldn't leave his side for one minute. He was trying to show and tell you the best he could! Mine don't leave my side day or night. That dog has a big heart!

[@m.d.z.2832]

The tent videos always give a peaceful vibe!

[@williamcunningham5417]

Mike Zeigler me too

[@MikeMcKey]

Mike Zeigler same for me thats the reason why I am here...

[@Javierduque85]

Mike Zeigler ii

[@mikeeriksson567]

Same here!

[@gerryteeter4058]

Mike Zeigler Joe he just wanted to help you get the bobber in quieter that's all or may be he wanted to go eat that was his way of telling g you!!!

[@deborapettigrew1258]

Oh no don't leave Chester home. Loved watching his ears flapping in the breeze on the boat ride and so cute getting that bobber. He looked like he was having so much fun. Made me smile. Thanks for the vid gonna go cook up some pork steaks now. Loved it.

[@Bravo_Kilo_Kilo]

These videos are like a little vacation away from my daily life. Thanks for sharing this special place with us.

[@rosaliekiff1132]

I love this video. I never want it to stop, I could watch it all day long, thank you so much. Yes we are waiting for yes more, more videos smile ..thank really like going fishing with you enjoy that soooo much. Thank Joe.

[@erichavenbass]

At the 15:06 mark, with the fire crackling in the background, and that majestic goose swimming across the lake....for me....the money shot of serenity. It simply does not get any better than this. Bravo, Joe.

[@shannorah]

It's pretty nice having a dog in the tent video's again. Chester made me feel a new fresh excitement for the lake property! He's a good dog!!! Great video! Can't wait to see it when it's warmed up.

[@daleramage7389]

Watching your 2017 opening trip is giving me the bug to do a winter trip with my boys .So peacefully I feel relaxed just watching your video . THANKS DALE

[@SupermanJH68]

Agree. That is a good dog. He loved that boat ride. In return, he retrieved your bobber, thinking it was a good thing. He IS a retriever, that IS what he's supposed to do. He is not a wierdo or a dork. He loves you, does what you tell him. Try to be his friend. Great cabin, been watchin your videos for months. Enjoyed this.

[@terryporche8745]

Superman 68 very true words Superman 68! Chester is just looking for attention and love. Dogs like that need to be in outdoors, not in a kennel. If I had him he would be with me every time I went to my hunting camp.

[@bamamubs4723]

Awe! Chester is such a doll! Bet he gets the scent from Max all over the tent/yard! Your videos make me smile Joe, thanks for sharing with us!

[@michaelliljegren4317]

As a fellow minnesotan residing in Florida, you always manage to make me a little home sick...... Keep them coming

[@MsKestrela]

Wow, I didn't realize how much I missed the tent until you posted this. *sigh* The sunset over the lake was beautiful and soul filling. It was nice to see you just enjoying the serenity and solitude. Seeing Chester's ears flap on the boat ride had me grinning ear to ear! Thanks for taking us all along.

[@winstonwong285]

Thanks for sharing. It is a great way to get away from my everyday work by watching yr posting.

[@jeffcarr7102]

I envy you sir! Just a great place. I look forward to each video, especially the tent videos!

[@mykahlifischer5267]

Joe enjoys the Tent and the rest of us dream

[@mykahlifischer5267]

I'm so in love with this video. Complete peace. That's relaxing!

[@alaine1910]

I could almost feel myself relaxing, I do love your tent, thanks for letting us visit with you.

[@carlmic7]

I love every minute you spend at the tent, I totally understand why you love that place and that solitude! I can't wait until the next time. I also enjoy my times alone in the outdoors. Great stuff! Thank you so much!

[@TurkeyDart]

Dads place looks great. Such awesome craftsmanship building that place.

[@rijve11]

Wow so beautiful life style, no worries, no stress about anything I wish we all could live our life this way!

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

It would be nice if a person could life here full time. I have plenty of stresses.

[@TheOpenAirGarage]

Chester looks happy to be with you at the tent. You go through quite a bit of wood on these cooler days. Enjoyed this thoroughly!!

[@prwoolrich]

I've been watching your videos for a few years now and I've always admired how hard you work to maintain your property the river shots were very good too thanks again for sharing.

[@pattiannepascual]

Your tent is beautiful.i could live in that full time!

[@keithbush2945]

Chester looks like he enjoyed the trip....thanks for sharing with us and keep up the great work

[@davemcavene]

Simplicity at its finest. I would live there full time if I could. Peaceful.

[@tech2480]

Thank you for the great video Joe...good to see back at the Tent! Who needs 80's in Louisiana when you have that paradise ;) Looking forward to more from the Tent this year!

[@postcardsfromheaven]

when all you can hear is your ears ringing ! you are in the right place ! i love the quit and peacefulness of solitude !

[@kevjo13]

[@gabelanger]

love the tent video's and chester what a great companion ,less time in kennel more time with you joe he really loves you.

[@astrogypsy]

I can't imagine the hours in the hours creating that kitchen, let alone the rest...Nice job.

[@mikefedele4521]

You are doing exactly what I want to do. I come across this by accident but I am glad I did. Thanks for great content.

[@danielvillalobos827]

Man, my kinda video!!! Love that lifestyle would happily spend my remaining days living like that! Thanks for sharing my friend.

[@billbalm2002]

hi joe, i have been watching your vids for the last year or so. I'm 65 so you help bring back a lot of memories from when i was a kid camping with my dad, i look forward to your vids , i look every day to see if there is a new one, you are a very very lucky guy to go up north to such a great place, i have been looking for a long time for some cheap land in the corner of no wear to build a small cabin and retire there, you do have the best of both worlds, thank you so much for sharing part of your life, have a great week,

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

Thank you for the nice comment, I appreciate it. Joe

[@dfrazita]

Sir your cabin is cooler than some people's houses!!! You outta be proud! That's awesome!

[@PungoPrairie]

Your Mom & Dad's cabin is Amazing! Just Wow!

[@MsPdog1]

Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Thank you kind sir.

[@acet7]

Thanks for sharing, I enjoy your tent videos.

[@NLGhostWolf]

Nice to back out to the tent. Peace and silence in the woods, great for ones soul... Another dandy adventure

[@stormchaser8605]

When you showed the water hand-pump I suddenly remembered that your install video 3-4 years ago was the reason I found this channel because I wanted one in my first home. Happy you are back at the tent, it seems to be a great time of year for it.

[@JimFariello]

Nice video, I am going up to my mountain cabin next week to open it up. The winter is over and the spring time is here to enjoy our second home.

[@lisabuchmann656]

hi !!!! nice to see you back in the tent...... what a wonderful dog you brought with you !!!! guess we will see you more often now the weahter is turning better !!!! hugs and have good trips up there this summer !!!! lisa italy..............................

[@alextate418]

Beautiful spot. That scenic shot with the goose and then, 'I could shoot that thing from here' made me laugh. It is such a different culture but that is part of what makes your clips so interesting.

[@motorcyclelad]

Thanks for bringing us along, Joe.

[@29render]

Love these. very few youtubers can hold my attention this long.

[@glendaharris4776]

I loved you video, it makes me want to go camping, that is a beautiful tent. Enjoy the many days of summer to come.

[@ianrsigel]

Neat, tidy and well organized cabin. Not surprising, your dad's cabin reflects the same qualities. That's how I roll as well.

[@roostero]

Max was a supervisor, Chester is a helper. That goose wanted to thank you for breaking up the ice. And for not shooting him.

[@outbackoutside]

Great video as usual. Thanks for sharing and taking us along.......

[@elcholocachanilla7018]

Thank you for sharing part of your outdoor life👍✌🏽

[@gregh1579]

Love that country. look forward to your videos. Broke my leg pretty bad in Feb and just being able to go to camp with you really helps. Thanks

[@Kp-jp2ww]

New subscriber to your channel. Just wanted to say “thank you” for making an old woman’s day better. Keep up the good work.

[@PumpkinVillage]

Nice video and a great spot. Sounded sad when you said "you had to head home." I would too! Beautiful, Beautiful spot. Take care, Al

[@kekelaward]

Beautiful. Always have a nice time watching them. At least you caught a dogfish...

[@jimsteele7108]

atta-boy Joe, glad you finally made it up there. Thanks for the vid, it was good treat for a cold rainy Monday morning.

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

Thanks Jim. Its a very yucky day here but up there they are getting dumped with snow I think. I cant wait for 70 degrees.

[@portugeeprepper6821]

Thanks for sharing joe. I always look forward to these tent videos.

[@PaulDGreen-bu4iz]

Y'all have some beautiful cabins up there! Beautiful area as well! Hey, with the puppy, you don't have to bother to reel your line in! LOL! That was cute! Thank you for sharing!

[@macsair]

I can't tell you just how much I have missed the tent videos. It's great to be back.

[@martinetiramani1480]

Quite a luxurious outhouse. Very nice setup!

[@JMc.D]

Man oh man did you deserve some time up at the tent. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed watching your video. Thank you 👍

[@ghostnotes5667]

This is my favorite channel on KZbin. I love watching him set up his cabin and cook vittles for the evening. In a way it allows me to live vicariously through his videos. Someday that will be me! Thanks for all the hard work making these vids, I know it requires a lot more work than one might think. Iowa Guy

[@glendawallace2083]

Very peaceful video. I enjoyed it. We have a camper set up on lake tenkiller in Oklahoma. we go as much as we can. we live an hour away in Arkansas. we like to take our boat out on the water and swim. thanks for the video.

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

That sounds like fun. It is always nice to get away.

[@tinybackwoodscabin2825]

Gorgeous place) I'd move up there permanently, and that stake looks so good, thanks for the vid.

[@lucasmccue2559]

Amazing video as always Joe! The tent videos have always been my favorite and quite frankly i'm jealous!!!

[@TheTed169]

awesome vid joe, thanks...I'm up here in newfoundland Canada and it will be another month before the snow melts so I can get to my cabin. but it will be good then.....whooo buddy!

[@JJKHaywood]

That Cabin is second to none. Good video man.

[@lil69mikey]

you are a Lucky man...Love it...thanx 4 sharing brother

[@PungoPrairie]

Love the set up! Thanks for sharing!

[@michaelcostello7641]

I do enjoy weekends at the tent. Even if I am in Pennsylvania. Nice and relaxing, quiet, peaceful. Seeing the goose was cool too. Chester going after the bobber was funny. I think I could live there year round. Just my books, cds, and enough food to get me by. I am envious, Joe.

[@chamilton9182]

I love all the footage of the trails, wildlife, rivers and creeks. Very relaxing. Chester is precious. I loved his ears flapping on the boat ride. He needs a life vest :) The footage of you driving is great too (although at times I wanted to say SLOW DOWN) It made me nervous, but I'm in Texas where a "dusting" makes us drive like more of an idiot than we already do.... and we all have 4 wheel drive trucks :) :). Great vid. Thanks for sharing. God Bless.

[@keithc9257]

Nice peaceful video, enjoyed watching it, Well done.

[@chuckgollmar4882]

was neat to see Chester at the cabin. Bet that brought back some memories. Looking forward to the first fishing trip with Zach.

[@susanh.4733]

Great Video. Look forward to watching more. Your dog reminds me of my SMOKEY.

[@unclemikessouthernoutdoors3783]

Great video, glad the motor worked out for you!

[@rosaliekiff1132]

Joe you are amazing with all the things you can do, keep the videos coming, love all the videos thanks

[@jahhmin]

The tent videos are my favorite! keep em coming sir!

[@RicSeabergsUseful-Information]

really fun to watch. all the work you have put into your tent/cabin has paid off big time!

[@timcurry192]

Great to see you back home, Joe! Chester is awesome. Can't wait for the fishing vid. Stay safe!

[@ryanfranck5494]

looks like a great weekend! Ol Chester thought he was going duck hunting I'll bet! lol

[@peterstean2138]

Wow - you still have snow up near the border at this time of year. Can I also say that Chester seems like a lovely pup, except for his bobber expedition. "Hey daddy you left this out here, but it's OK I'll just fetch it for you" :)

[@keithc9257]

Everything about this video is just right, Makes me want to have a simpler life.

[@wtailhunter1]

Thanks for posting this Joe, I always feel so much better/relaxed when I watch your tent videos. I won't be able to get back this year, the wife has some back surgery that will keep me here. Thanks again.

[@CarlosCruz-qb5kl]

Boy what a great video really enjoyed myself U sure make camping Look easy

[@MOOSEDOWNUNDER]

Lovely spot as always Joe mate, the scoff looked amazing. Dinosaur steaks, lol. When little mate went for the float i did piss myself laughing, cute little muppet. Cheers mate. ATB Moose. 👍

[@loadeddog8840]

moose man .......how'd ur trip end up. We got 2 stags 27&18 & I got my my first ever sambar (a hind). Friggin EPIC trip. Hope alls well your end mate .🇦🇺😎👍

[@MOOSEDOWNUNDER]

G'day Brother, i shot a three year spiker and we glassed 5 more but alas it was a still night and we never got close. Just editing now. When we hunt on old mates farm its a case of spotlighting, glassing, whatever to kill as many as we can for the freezer. They are doing a load of damage up there. Cheers Moose.

[@loadeddog8015]

MOOSEDOWNUNDER well I best get over there and sub, catch ya over there.😎👍

[@MOOSEDOWNUNDER]

Awesome. See you there. Cheers Moose.

[@craiggodfrey4965]

Great stuff Joe. Love the tent Vids, relaxing to watch!

[@gundog4314]

Good boy Chester...Thanks for taking us back up to the tent Joe. Cheers

[@Ideo7Z]

You're very fortunate to have a peaceful place to have a tent and cabin. Where I'm at, an unattended cabin would have been broken into by thieves, vandals or squatters.

[@stevonnice4304]

Here where I'm at,some so called invironmentelist cry baby would have you in court sueing you for "ruining the beauty of the forest for them" when they never leave the city

[@grant8490]

Lol

[@GregAlanEdwardsEmmanuelRidge]

Absolutely loved the video. There is nothing like peace and serenity on the water when you're alone like that...THE TENT is great as well. You have yourself a really sweet setup right there Sir. Kudos!! Wasn't going to watch the whole thing but I just couldn't take my eyes off the scenery!!

[@jimlangton8885]

Chester has his own fan club. Great seeing him at the tent with you.

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

I am going to have to start a series called... Chester..."The Dork" LOL.

[@ottawadigs]

I live vicariously through your videos, thanks for posting

[@motorcyclelad]

diggs Same here

[@lowdown55]

Love the tent! That was so relaxing...

[@fishingislife014]

Great video! I can't get enough of the tent videos brotha! The backwoods cabin is beautiful , but there's something about the tent that gives me a homey feel. I love it man. You are truly blessed to have such an amazing place. Looking forward to the next video, keep up the great work and God bless ya!

[@horatiobeaker]

Having lived in central and south Florida most of my life, it was a real treat to get a look at your weekend in MN..

[@JnJTrueOutdoorAdventures]

Awe Joe, it is so nice to see videos from the tent again!!! From a guy loves to hunt and enjoys going to our deer camp, your videos make me feel like I am at camp. I know I tell you that all the time, but I really enjoy the videos from the tent. Can't believe it is so cold up there when it has been in the 70's and 80's here in WV. Of course you said that Melisa (I think that is right) told you it was in the 80's in Louisiana! Love that coffee pot and thought you was going to use it, but I see it was just decoration for your bedroom!! LOL That is one thing Joe I haven't done in a very long time is go fishing, it has probably been 10+ years since I have been fishing. It just seems that life has me to busy to enjoy the things that I love to do. Man those pork loins look might delicious Joe!! Every time your at the tent you make me hungry watching those videos!! LOL Well I have to finish watching this after I get the grass cut, kind of funny your in snow and I am having to cut grass!! Juddie

[@agalvez1296]

Wow! Really nice place. Well kept up and organized. I enjoy watching you cook and doing your chores. :-) Anita

[@colin8532]

Chester looks like he's having the time of his life!

[@adamg7377]

Amazing spot! I could live there year round! Great video

[@2414ah]

Good stuff, Joe. Glad you were able to enjoy some days away. Those were some beautiful Buffleheads! Thanks.

[@tellemhowbeer3517]

beautiful setup! i have to say im quite impressed. cheers from Texas.

[@SquiggySquog]

I love the tent videos! Keep up all the good work you've been doing with the channel

[@kayesfavoritethings6745]

These videos take us there with you, love the pork steaks and Chester and everything else, you may think it's a boring video but it takes us away with you! Thank you Joe, for taking the time to make these awesome videos for us.
