THE TENT. Winter Trip 2018.

The annual Winter Trip to The Tent. Lake ice crossing. Cold weather, campfire cooking and solitude. Another great time at The Tent.

[@bigbluechevy996]

Something about watching the videos you post relaxes me and makes me work harder everyday to have something like this one day... I’m a 27 year old truck driver

Is it just me or anyone else feels sad when Joe goes home and the tent is left all alone in the woods? Is such a beautiful, amazing place. :)

[@anthonyb3218]

Lol yes 🤣

[@padretheelder]

Wanna say thanks to you. You have inspired my wife and I to purchase some property and make a place for ourselves. We really enjoy your videos and loveto watch them over and over

[@MsKestrela]

Ahhh...the Tent. *sigh* Joe, As a content creator myself, I know the effort it takes to set up shots, and I want to tell you how much I appreciate ones like when you left the tent and walked well out onto the lake before returning to get the camera. That takes planning, set-up, and a lot of extra snow-shoeing! AND it makes a really pretty shot. I agree with others who think you 'relax' harder than most folks work. ;-) Thanks for sharing your paradise with us.

joe is one of a kind talent combined with how hard he works his wonderful family says it all about this great man !!!

[@ejohnson1705]

This looks like a good couple of days in the woods I would love to come out there but now I'm up in age and need to be close to a VA I had a nice place in the past where I would go and cook sap and in the last evening out in the woods we would cook up spare ribs and sour cabbage and throw in some spuds. A old lumberjack lived about a mile from us and he would eat with us and take the rest home for him and his cats. It is good to go to the woods and kick back with just oil lamps and a wood stove, it is good to think back to those times. Well good night and happy camping

[@shittushah]

I really appreciate how much effort you take to make these videos. Crossing the lake in freezing cold weather along with that stuff. Just WOW. God bless you always :)

[@jamiegratton9748]

No matter how crappy a day, when a new "TENT" video is posted....life is good! Won't be long, you'll be up there for the fishing opener. Thanks for sharing Joe.

[@timcurry192]

Great stuff, Joe, and thanks for all the hard work. A lot of folks out here are living vicariously through these videos.

[@TheBcb1592]

I love when they are long! I feel like part of the family! Haha

[@eds1994fatboy]

While you were off the air Joe.......I have been watching this guy up in Canada ....Shawn James ....he built a small cabin using just hand tools.His channel is called ....My Self Reliance .....Not as fancy as your dads place.....but hand tools like brace and bits....hand saws.....not sure if you have seen but many Canadians up that way enjoy that weather.Joe Robinet is another guy that camps out in the snows of Canada.He was even on the History Channel show ....ALONE....but he had to tap out because he lost his fire steel.He wasn't too happy about discussing why he had to tap out so soon.Good to see you back at the tent.Cant wait to watch your cabin build coming soon I hope.Anyway....a belated Happy New year....to you and yours.

[@ryverhyker5400]

AHHH...JUST LOVIN' IT.....at 62 and still searchin' you are a very lucky man....

[@jakemoore2525]

the artwork in your fathers cabin is amazing. Love how he glazes just about all of the wood he uses for the interior of his cabin

[@melissacomer8404]

That back cabin is to die for. Love the wood fired cook stove. So jealous.

[@jameskreinhop796]

I've been watching your exploits for a few years now. When are you going to start building a cabin? I'm 81 years old and if you don't start soon I'm gonna miss it. Just sayin'. lol

[@parsnipparsley]

james kreinhop hahaha time and money,I think old fella.thanks for the laugh👍

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

I am just reading a few of the first comments, I will not get to really responding until tomorrow after work but I wanted to make sure I responded to yours James right away so it does not get lost in the many comments that will come. I think this is one of the "top comments" I have ever received Lol. I love it. I do not think it will be happening this year but I am hoping that 2019 I may get started. I have the drawings and my ideas of the "feeling: I want the new cabin to have. I love the old trapper cabins and I also love the old farm type houses from the late 1800's. It has to stay fairly small so you can heat it and it not take a week to warm up but it has to be bigger than what the Tent is now. I already have the antique wood fired cook stove/oven in the workshop waiting to cook its first turkey at "The Cabin" (I am sure you have seen it in videos, if not email me at [e-mail] and I will show it to you) Please stay tuned, it will happen. Thank you for a memorable comment I will not forget. Joe

[@parsnipparsley]

[@LostCaper]

Man a beautiful way to spend a few days and longer. One of my favourite shots is when the sun comes over the mountain and then you show the sun shining on the tent. Thanks for sharing.

[@arcaniprea735]

Another great video Joe! Loved every minute of it and the views were awesome.

[@ckrose4163]

WHAAAAAT?????!!!! That place is AMAZING!!! Both are to me, but that Cabin with the Taxidermy, blew my mind! You are very fortunate Sir! I Love Both! Thanks for taking us along, really enjoyed it!

[@chamilton9182]

I was so glad to see a new vid of yours. Then I asked myself why....WHY did I spend 1 hour and 13 minutes of my life watching you do the exact same thing you always do (on valentines day no less) on a new video? Then I realized, because it's relaxing. The scenery is beautiful and you make me laugh with your ADHD/OCD ways. Thank you for sharing your beautiful camp with us. Cheers and God Bless

That’s so funny you said that I was watching him clean,stack stuff, he’s got to have atleast 15 lighter fluid cans and I bet the same ones in the backs been there for years bc of ocd restocking of everything and I said Mann he’s got ocd for sure, same as my mom.

[@SmileSQN]

At 12 below... I would use lighter fluid also to heat up the outhouse... Thank you for working so hard to make these videos. A PLEASURE to WATCH. You're Awesome!

Great video Joe. Always such a pleasure to see the tent. Cheers.

[@patricianunez4025]

I have been home bound after surgery and watching Bushcraft videos. Your place is the lap of luxery in comparison! Wow! Your mama sure raised you right...dusting and vacuuming.😊 I was holding my breath until your truck started. Very enjoyable video.

I live about half way between your house and your "tent". I recognize those stretches on I 35. Great vid, Joe!

[@wirogue]

The weekends and the videos at the tent are never long enough.......Thanks for sharing

[@dwl231]

Joe, you have tapped into something remarkable, and I know you work your ass off to produce these videos. It has to be a riot to know that you could literally sit in the outhouse reading a Cabela’s catalog for half an hour and half a million people will end up watching it and wish we were there with you (well, not right there, but you know what I mean). But the polka, god, you’re killing me!

[@tfssludgyspoon5007]

I can’t believe my eyes. Did I really just see joe laying down watching a movie. I thought I was impossible for him to take it easy....lol. Hardest working man on KZbin 👍🏻👍🏻

[@JoeandZachSurvival]

I needed to warm up, there was nothing else to do but wait. LOL

[@gregmarsee1913]

Did you also notice he didn’t have his regular “whole milk”? It was 2%. What’s that about Joe? Lol. Great vid

[@treeclimbing7798]

[@gregmarsee1913]

I'm mew but that is very cool. My dad built a cabin in the rain forest in the northwest. I loved going the food and everything was so much better. I haven't been there since he passed in 2012. Looks like I need to go. Thanks for reminding me about what really matters.

You crack me up Joe, you cannot keep a good windshield. Another good video.... and yes we could tell its been 81 days.

[@hermitholllerhomestead2080]

Have you considered x-country skiing across the lake instead of snowshoeing? So cool that you have wolves there. I only have coyotes, foxes and stray dogs. I agree with C Hamilton, you do the same exact thing in every video, load the wood stove, cook on an open fire, check cameras, and clean the tent, but I must watch every minute of it. :o) The North Woods is a magical place.

For me, your videos let me at least visually experience something that has been a yearning of mine that I know I will never get the opportunity nor (perhaps) the wherewithal to fulfill. Thank you for sharing. I will certainly be regular watcher from now on.

[@BossmanEight]

-10?!! You can keep those temps up there. I'll happily take the predicted 58 degrees here in southern Indiana!

[@bobkd5fjd823]

Boy, joe, I bet you use a lot of wood for all the fires in temps that low both at night and during the day. Hopefully you have a great source for fire wood in the woods surrounding you with a lot of dead falling wood. Sure wouldn’t want to pay for the amount of wood you do burn both at the tent and the shop back home. Loving the video my friend! Looking forward to meeting you some day when you’re in Louisiana. Have a great visit, soon!

[@anitarussum4590]

[@dishantnarang89]

Hi Joe, I watch your videos all the time and I feel so inspired. One question constantly bothers me though.. why is the bathroom so far away from your tent? Is there some reason for it not being built closer? With a connecting door even maybe? I'm simply asking out of curiosity... I mean what if there's a blizzard outside and you really need to go :P

[@sabrinaalcala414]

Me encantó todo!! Abrazo desde Guadalajara, México hasta allá. 🐻 Love the snow and viewing the video with your great comments!

[@mrwatercup]

THE TENT 2018!!!

[@BossmanEight]

Try mounting a 5" computer fan at the top of your bedroom door. You'll be amazed how much warm air it will move. And it's cheap! $8-10 to buy and 1-2 cents a day to operate. Oh, and very quiet.

[@SlipFitGarage]

BossmanEight Would that be better than the 20 inch box fan that he currently has above his bedroom door?

[@treeclimbing7798]

BossmanEight I use those in my RV Camper.

[@BossmanEight]

Obviously it won't be as fast to move the air as a 20" box fan but will be *WAY* more quiet. Once the air flow is established it doesn't really take all that much to keep it going. Oh, and then there's the whole energy savings issue . . . . .

[@SlipFitGarage]

BossmanEight I gotcha... but I don't think the amount of energy consumed by a 20 inch box fan is an "issue" especially since he's only at the tent a few nights a year, and he's on grid power. Lol.

[@BossmanEight]

Noise would be my big issue. As far as energy savings . . . . . that was said with tongue in cheek. Firmly in cheek! ;-)

[@timbell7602]

Love the tent videos. You are so organized in there and always eat like a king. I think you cook enough food for ten people but it looks good. Awesome video

[@kimsloveforreborns6458]

I love watching your videos. I'm not even a hunter but I enjoy just watching your routine daily. I always know what your next step is lol. And your food you cook always makes me so hungry. Its beautiful there. My son used to live in Minnesota but he couldn't handle the cold. I love cold weather. I'm a single 54 year old. I wish I could do what you do but as a female, I think I would die lol.

[@JMc.D]

Gotta have the microwave cleaning shot!

[@huckleberrychris]

Just an idea...why not clean the stove before you leave, set up a fire so that when you come back, all you need to do is light it and get it going.

[@SlipFitGarage]

Chuck Christensen Probably because it's still burning when he leaves.

[@bradghaigh]

And you can't spray lighter fluid all over the place in advance.

[@Lake_Trout]

My thoughts exactly. I'm thinking that's not like Joe to leave tasks incomplete.

[@huckleberrychris]

I would never leave with a fire still going. Also, I never use lighter fluid...I know how to start a quick fire without it...in the bbq grill, a stove and even outside.

[@treeclimbing7798]

Chuck Christensen Good Question.

[@SmoreRacinRV]

The backwoods cabin is just about the most gorgeous I have ever seen. I want to live in something like that full time!!! WOW!! I love the tent too but would need a little bit more for my son to be able to stay there.

[@factfind9836]

You are one squared away individual. Well done. Carry on Joe and thanks.

[@willischinken9900]

Absolutely amazing!! I'm asking myself the hole time: How did you get electricity to the tent?

They dug a line quite a ways. You can find it in an old video if you look back far enough.

[@joannkarbowski9965]

[@MOOSEDOWNUNDER]

Awesome chill out time mate, loved it. The crapper looked really cozy and welcoming, i reckon i would end up finishing a book in there lol. Question for ya Joe or any other American cousins in Minnesota. Do you only get red potatoes up there? are other varieties short in supply? and is Pig the favourite source of protein or is this just you mate?. Cheers Moose Down Under.

[@ryan_bombard]

MOOSEDOWNUNDER , naw we have all kinds of different potatoes. I like to get the reds when I am by myself as well, because the russets and the yukon golds are usually too big. However, the whole pork steak and repeat is pretry much kust a Joe thing. I eat mostly venison, and we buy half an angus every year.

[@MOOSEDOWNUNDER]

G'day Ryan, thanks mate. I thought as much but i wanted to ask without looking like a prat lol. :-) I also Shoot and Eat my own Venison mate. Not sure if you are familiar with Australian species but we shoot Sambar Deer mostly in Victoria and Fallow. If you have never seen a Sambar i have vid's on my channel mate. From one hunter to another. Cheers Moose.
