Last time up to the tent I had to snowshoe across the ice. 4 months later the snow and ice are gone and the Minnesota fishing opener is here. 4 days in one video.
Hi, Joe! Hello from Russia! With great pleasure to watch. Nature is very similar to my home. It's amazing to see such a familiar landscape! the general impression that you kilometrov 500, north of Moscow - a few nuances exception. I love the spring time of the year, exactly what are you doing in this video, we will, as a rule, in the beginning of May. Sounds of spring forest, and even the familiar sound of the outboard motor, quiet night, and warm the fresh air. I even remembered the smells that come at this time. Thank you for such an enjoyable experience! Good luck! Alexey.
Just going through the library of tent videos. Been watching for a few years and this has to be my favorite tent video . So peaceful and relaxing . Max looks so content .
I had a old lab like Max Joe, he lived to the age of 21. great dog, loyal, would watch over our kids. Enjoy the videos. Hunt and fish myself, love the outdoors. I don't have to always catch something, just getting out there is great.
Hi Joe. Sorry to hear about Max's hearing loss. He is a good dog and a great worker. The tent looks just as great as always. I get so jealous of you, especially when I hear the water. Nothing like crisp clean beauty to soothe the soul. Thanks for sharing with us once again Joe. tok'sa ake
The setting: serene; The sustenance: sublime. The company: (max) sooo relaxed! This is getting away at it's best. You give us something to look forward to, Joe.
The only problem with your videos is I can lose myself in them and wholly crap an hour has gone by before I know it........then I just blame you for my lack of productivity. :) Great job. Keep them coming, they're one of my favorite inspirations for a simpler life. Thank you Joe.
I love your videos too. So peaceful and serene. Lived in Chicago all my life and always dreamed of having something like this. Very beautiful. Congratulations. Thank you for sharing.
Having grown up in the woods of Massachusetts hunting and fishing every day i could it's hard to explain how much i and my family love your channel we live on the outskirts of Phoenix Arizona now and don't get up north nearly enough. Keep up the great work!
I can't tell you how much I enjoy the tent videos. You shoot them so well. I know it's a lot of work to produce them, so thank you for your time and effort.
camanojim 4 days plus of filming, 3 nights of editing (I had over 4 hours of footage) and it took 9 hours to upload because the internet sucks here lol. Thank you.
Another great video. This looks to me like a perfect weekend. A man & his dog in the nort woods..a little beer, a little fishin, some good eats, perfect.
you probably dont give a shit but if you are bored like me atm you can watch all of the new movies on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my gf for the last weeks =)
Thank you for that great comment, I appreciate it. You know me, many more videos to come both here on the Joe and Zach Survival channel and also on the Northern Seclusion channel. Thanks again. Joe
As always Joe; another great video. We're in full bloom down here in the Carolinas and I've got so much to do at my cabin, It amazes me that you leave everything in the tent all the time and no one messes with it. What a blessing! Those fish looked great coming straight from the lake and into the pan. Sorry to hear Max is having problems, there's nothing like a great companion. Keep well and keep those videos coming!!
Steve Armstrong Thank you for the nice comment. Things are really getting green and blooming here in mid Minnesota and I imagine by the next time I get to the tent it will be much greener as well. It will be a sad day when Max goes, he has been with me a long time. Thanks again. Joe
Joe I've said it before but I really like how you do your videos. This one might be one of my favorites. Makes me want to be up in the Northwoods. I can't wait for our annual BWCA trip that we do north of Grand Marais. Really like you pooch too. It is tough to watch them get old. I still really miss my first Chocolate Lab.
This is the first time I've seen your videos....absolutely beautiful setting. What a wonderful place to be!! Thank you for bringing up great memories with my father when I was younger.
so glad you featured Max in this video. Maybe I have missed some videos, but I haven't seen Max in some time and was concerned he had gone over the rainbow. Great to see him again.
Catwomanmn Max is 14 and his days are numbered. We have traveled lots of miles together and hunted lots of water. In his younger days he was full of energy. Now it takes all he has just to get up.
JoeandZachSurvival How old is Chester? Two great labradors you have. Best hunting, fishing, swimming, camping buddy anyone could ask for. Just built a ramp for the pool this spring for Molly Brown A.K.A. "The Dude" she's 10 now. No need jumping down from the ladder no more. Tent is looking good brother. Can't wait to see you start your cabin. I really want to see Pops start his walls too! Always a pleasure Joe.
Hey Walt2t, I felt the same, too, not after Joe had done cooking, but during his cooking, that I wanted to eat some food too, thanks ,Joe for the nice video, man Max there, was a very good companion dog, will be missed by us all that know Max. :-),. Love the vid. And gotta mention, I love ur tent and the area, too.
I love watching your videos. It's interesting seeing the difference in climates (I'm in north Florida), wildlife, accents, etc... Oh, and the fried fish looked delicious. I think it's inspired me to pull some grouper out of the freezer for supper tonight. Thanks your videos, and keep them coming.
Nice looking fish fry joe I was sitting here watching you cook that fish thinking to myself them fish would go really good with some fried potatoes and here you come walking out with the can
The log you "planked" out was White Cedar, Indians used those to make their Totem Poles, the one you are looking for is Eastern Red Cedar aka Aromatic Cedar. The leafy portion of the White cedar looks similar to a Hemlock or Frazier Fir , being somewhat flattened and with the flats areas growing out from either side of the limb, .........on the Eastern Red Cedar the leafy portion is more like what a bottle brush looks like with the actual needles being very small and short and no particular way that the needles are facing as they come out in all directions. Here in Kentucky they are a nuisance tree and denotes nutrient poor soil and being very acidic
I completely understand. To say the least you are a amazing man and you have a beautiful place! I love watching your videos it help me to lose my thoughts in dreams of the future! Wish you the very best of luck during deer season for that is my passion!
Awesome video Joe, Wow what a treat to log on and find this. Looks like a good time had at the tent. I know those meals made my mouth water. LOL So great and also sad to see the old dog. We have a black lab and I like that dog more than most people. All the best this spring and good luck fishing. Regards Mark
it's very relaxing to watch ur videos Joe. u r an inspiration . u really work hard. when I come back from work I always watch ur videos n forget all my worries
I love your videos Sir. I'm from the Brainerd Lakes Area. I hope one day I can get out of this Army Uniform and spend the rest of my days living in a cabin such as the one you call the "tent".
Chris Eastman Thanks Chris, great comment. Thank you for your service, its greatly appreciated and allows us to have our own gardens and everything else, including the tent. You are the one that needs to be called Sir. Thanks again. Joe
Looks like you had a good day fishing. I caught a 20 lb. blue cat and a 26 lb. op. this morning here in Louisiana. Makes 51 cats over 20 lbs. so far this past 5 weeks. Love your videos, and also love your Minnesoto woods.
Outdoorscout Sometimes when I am up there its just amazing how loud my ears ring. A person doesn't notice it when there is constant noise. Up there sometimes the silence itself is deafening.
I find that if I put a small drop of super glue on my knots they hold perfectly well with Spiderwire or other braided line. The next time you decide to fry the potatoes add half a chopped onion and a can of whole kernel corn to it for a real treat. I love the patience and love you show your dog, it lets everyone know what a great man you are.
Sgt. Roos, John T. (Ret.) At 14 May, 2015, I was at the Atlanta VA, trying to recover from the earlier Strokes that I had in 2001. Now that it's 2021, I'm hoping to leave Trinka Davis Veteran's Village, in Carrollton, GA. What a neat find of the old 'Trash', that will someday be the memories, in the future... Semper Fidelis
Your place looks very peaceful. I really enjoy all your videos! One thing I can say is that you eat very well while you are there!!! Enjoy the upcoming hunting and fishing seasons!!
I can be having a bad day, then I watch one of Joe & Zach's videos & bad day then become a good day! I feel like I'm right there with Joe & them. Thanks for the videos!
Thanks for sharing Joe. I think you have a perfect set up for your life with the homestead and the tent. I hope you don't make your new cabin to fancy I like the rustic feel of the tent. Love sweet old Max.
pam p The new cabin will be very rustic, I want you to get slivers when you walk in LOL. it will seem very old and warm. I look forward to that project.
That's life! You are so lucky! I wish I could get to do something like that at least once in ten years ! U get to do it every 4 months or so! Lucky man!!!!
+Chris Shinn I am not real good at sitting still very long but I do have moments. I am up to the tent right now as I type this (video coming next week) and I had a few times I sat on the porch for a few minutes looking at the lake. My idea of relaxing today was putting a few hours in walking and looking for deer sign out in the woods and checking the deer stands. I lose myself in that sometimes and my mind shuts off work and stuff. If I sit doing nothing I start thinking about how the guys are doing at work and how I should be there and how the chickens and other animals are doing on the hobby farm etc etc etc lol. Its almost dark out now, I think I will grab a beer and try to find some peace. LOL... Thank you for commenting. Joe
I love watching your videos especially these ones at the tent. Makes me think of my deer camp in West Virginia and how I can't wait to get there every weekend to fix it up. It's a work in progress.
Dead End Outdoors Work is so busy for me right now I wont be able to get back to the tent for at least 3 more weeks. I cant wait. Thats one thing about any camp, there is always work to be done. Thank you. Joe
Great stuff. I grew up in Michigan and live in Houston, Texas. Living in the city is good for a paycheck, but not for much else. I am enjoying your property. The sounds of nature never get old. Do you know what gets old(besides us)? Sirens, stereo systems and the sounds of a city, are nothing that I crave. Cheers. The two things that you are missing, in my opinion, are a Martin D-35 and Homemade Beer!
Really sad about Max, must be hard on both of you. I love this time each year getting to return to such a peaceful place. I don't know why but this year I felt a loneliness that's not been there before. I bet those pork chops were wonderful, nothing like eating your own grown meat. I can't wait for you to start your cabin, that will be a really nice journey to follow.
Melody Capehart Medina Max has changed considerably from the time I left for Louisiana and when I got back. 14 years old for a lab is a long time. I will be cherishing every trip he makes up there. It is by far his favorite place to be. He LOVES laying by the stove.
A couple of my batteries, a good trolling motor and my boat. I can die happy trolling around fishing around that pond. lol ;) nice vids Joe. keep up the great work and God Bless.
this is was awesome video I learned a lot. I can see you are a very very outdoorsman person what's so cool about 3 years ago I became an outdoorsman person myself. I love fishing and hunting the only thing I'm missing is a cabin for myself in the family. But this video shows a lot of what to do out there in the wilderness. fish on and God bless you sir.
+Victor Ruiz Thank you for the nice comment. I will be heading back up there in a couple weeks and then the beginning on November is Deer hunting opener. I cant wait to get up there for that. I am glad you are enjoying the outdoors. Thanks again. Joe
Wow! what a great Video, You really are Blessed with a Magical Location and that Tent is just awesome. Watching you cook that fish and Potatoes sure made me feel hungry, You have just got a NEW Sub = Respect from the UK
chris christ Thank you for the nice comment. Its very nice up there, magical is a good word. I wish I was frying up some fish and potatoes right now. Thanks again. Joe
I been anxious to get home to WiFi and watch this lol!! Looks like it was a great weekend to be up north! Nice job on the jumbo Sunny's, Good eating fish no doubt!! Thanks for sharing!
I love your tent videos. They look relaxing. Max looks really sweet and I hope you have him a long time yet in spite of his hearing loss and it looks to me like he has a little trouble getting up from the floor. Black labs are my favorite anyway. I self trained one to be an assist dog for my seizures and I miss her terribly. Tfs
Some much needed R&R getting back up to the tent. Everything is looking good yet. Glad you found yourself a new dock to replace your old one up there. Some very nice sunnies and perch you caught too. I do have to give you kuddos, you can clean them little northern while I can't. lol I don't like them much under 7 pounds myself. It's sad that Max has lost his hearing. It will be nice to see what kind of video you make for him if you do that. Take care Joe and keep them videos coming.
just ran across your video's man this awesome my wife inherited 50 acres in NC i've been paying taxes for 12 years never seen the property. After watching these video's think I'll take a ride up there just hangout for a day it's about a 3hr trip . NEW SUBSCRIBER
Thank you for the nice comment. If I was you I would be at that property every spare weekend I had available lol. My drive to the tent takes 4 hours and I do not mind that a bit.
Great vid. It just doesn't get any better than that. Max is cool. Couple things on your braid which I just found out recently. It's the thin diameter most likely that is giving you bail issues. It's most critical to match the diameter of your line on a baitcaster rather than breaking strength. That's why the guys use 50# braid on their baitcasters for bass fishing...it has the diameter of 12# mono. Fireline braid has a radial construction that'll work great for you. Also, as an open face spinning reel guy, (and I don't know if it's the same for you baitcaster guys) I have to load up my spool with some mono first and then tie the braid to it using a couple fisherman's knot's. Because the braid is so mush thinner (and more expensive) it would take all of 300 yards to fill to that optimal 1/8" on the spool. I'll look forward to your next excursion!
Buck Fifty Thank you, that makes perfect sense. I will get some different line. I have never got the hang of the spinning reel, it always feels backwards or something to me lol. I use my bait caster for casting and a closed face for off the dock. Thank you for the tip on the line, its greatly appreciated. Joe
My first time catching one of your videos and it was pretty good dude...so you got yourself a new subscriber just like one of those fish you caught...thanks for sharing...peace...

Wow joe your life seems so peacefull that just seeing your video gives me such a peace.
You've got beautiful piece of paradise there!
+Jeff Carr Thank you. I am up here right now and its chilly but nice to be here. Thanks again. Joe
Reminds me of Maine and Washington. This is paradise. Thanks so much for allowing us to watch such peace and tranquility.

Why is it I'm always hungry after watching these videos? lol.
Because it's the Joe and Zack cooking channel
you probably dont give a shit but if you are bored like me atm you can watch all of the new movies on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my gf for the last weeks =)
@Dario Kashton Yup, been watching on instaflixxer for since december myself :)
Here in California it is crowded and loud. Your videos are so relaxing. Thanks and sorry to hear about Max.
One of the coolest channels on the net. Thanks for all the awesome videos!!!

Hi Joe, Thanks for uploading your videos.I really enjoy watching your videos. :)
Thank you for the nice comment. Joe
Wow... nice sunfishes. I haven't seen sunfish nice size like these for a long long time. Love to fish for them, they are such fighters.
This is the first time I've seen your videos....absolutely beautiful setting. What a wonderful place to be!! Thank you for bringing up great memories with my father when I was younger.
Thank you for the nice comment. I hope you keep watching. Thanks again. Joe
Your cabin and land is just too beautiful. Thank you so much fir sharing your wonderful life.
so glad you featured Max in this video. Maybe I have missed some videos, but I haven't seen Max in some time and was concerned he had gone over the rainbow. Great to see him again.
Oh, your Max brought tears to me! I had a lab for 13 years I still miss her dearly! They are the best dogs! What a sweetie!
Catwomanmn Max is 14 and his days are numbered. We have traveled lots of miles together and hunted lots of water. In his younger days he was full of energy. Now it takes all he has just to get up.
JoeandZachSurvival How old is Chester? Two great labradors you have. Best hunting, fishing, swimming, camping buddy anyone could ask for. Just built a ramp for the pool this spring for Molly Brown A.K.A. "The Dude" she's 10 now. No need jumping down from the ladder no more. Tent is looking good brother. Can't wait to see you start your cabin. I really want to see Pops start his walls too! Always a pleasure Joe.

You welcome, Joe, happy ⛺👍☕🍩
Nothing more beautiful than the sounds of spring peepers.
I love watching your videos. It's interesting seeing the difference in climates (I'm in north Florida), wildlife, accents, etc... Oh, and the fried fish looked delicious. I think it's inspired me to pull some grouper out of the freezer for supper tonight. Thanks your videos, and keep them coming.
I bet it always feels good to be back at the tent for the first time in a while!
karenchakey Thanks Karen. Its always nice to open it up and start the season.
Nice looking fish fry joe I was sitting here watching you cook that fish thinking to myself them fish would go really good with some fried potatoes and here you come walking out with the can
This is where I want to live in my next life. You are living my dream!
The log you "planked" out was White Cedar, Indians used those to make their Totem Poles, the one you are looking for is Eastern Red Cedar aka Aromatic Cedar. The leafy portion of the White cedar looks similar to a Hemlock or Frazier Fir , being somewhat flattened and with the flats areas growing out from either side of the limb, .........on the Eastern Red Cedar the leafy portion is more like what a bottle brush looks like with the actual needles being very small and short and no particular way that the needles are facing as they come out in all directions. Here in Kentucky they are a nuisance tree and denotes nutrient poor soil and being very acidic
Nortekj ...
aromatic cedar is a man made cedar. Talking thoughs that are used in cedar chest. No cedar will ever smell like aromatic
Mark Thompson Just saying, tree is a "thuga occidentalis" White Cedar, Arborvitea, Northern Cedar. Not a True Cedar.
I completely understand. To say the least you are a amazing man and you have a beautiful place! I love watching your videos it help me to lose my thoughts in dreams of the future! Wish you the very best of luck during deer season for that is my passion!
Awesome video Joe,
Wow what a treat to log on and find this. Looks like a good time had at the tent. I know those meals made my mouth water. LOL
So great and also sad to see the old dog. We have a black lab and I like that dog more than most people.
All the best this spring and good luck fishing.

That is such an awesome camp! I could be happy there the rest of my life :) Thanks for sharing! Atb, Dawn
watching the tent holds me over until I can get back to my property, barely.
Thanks for takeing us along
Great videos Joe. Deep winter camping is something we don't get a chance to do much of in Australia so it's great to watch from down under 👍🏻
I just discovered your channel. These are the most relaxing videos I have ever seen.
That's the life ! So peaceful. I was so relaxed watching your video. Thanks for sharing and give Max a big hug and 💋 for me. God Bless....
Thank you for sharing this amazing video. I really enjoy watching it.
This is such a great youtube channel. the editing is great, content great, good voice, so pleasant to listen to. Honest. thank you Joe.
Really sad about Max, must be hard on both of you. I love this time each year getting to return to such a peaceful place. I don't know why but this year I felt a loneliness that's not been there before. I bet those pork chops were wonderful, nothing like eating your own grown meat. I can't wait for you to start your cabin, that will be a really nice journey to follow.

I love fishing and hunting the only thing I'm missing is a cabin for myself in the family. But this video shows a lot of what to do out there in the wilderness. fish on and God bless you sir.
+Victor Ruiz Thank you for the nice comment. I will be heading back up there in a couple weeks and then the beginning on November is Deer hunting opener. I cant wait to get up there for that. I am glad you are enjoying the outdoors. Thanks again. Joe
Wow! what a great Video, You really are Blessed with a Magical Location and that Tent is just awesome. Watching you cook that fish and Potatoes sure made me feel hungry, You have just got a NEW Sub = Respect from the UK
chris christ Thank you for the nice comment. Its very nice up there, magical is a good word. I wish I was frying up some fish and potatoes right now. Thanks again. Joe
The dog seems to be having a good time in the boat
i absolutly love these tent videos of yours. reminds me of my familys cabin. hello from a fellow minnesotant.
I been anxious to get home to WiFi and watch this lol!! Looks like it was a great weekend to be up north! Nice job on the jumbo Sunny's, Good eating fish no doubt!! Thanks for sharing!
Ryan Franck Despite not being the best weather the fish were biting, the beer was cold and it ended up being a fun time. Thanks Ryan. Joe
This would be an awesome place to live year around, I grew up in the country.
You should give Max a beer....he's actually older than you and me. He's a good dog.....
Love the peaceful scenery! Best wishes to you and Max.
I love your tent videos. They look relaxing. Max looks really sweet and I hope you have him a long time yet in spite of his hearing loss and it looks to me like he has a little trouble getting up from the floor. Black labs are my favorite anyway. I self trained one to be an assist dog for my seizures and I miss her terribly. Tfs
Christine Strauss Max is 14 and on his way out but hes an awesome dog. My third "lifer" and by far my favorite. Thank you.
very interesting video i'm hungry now hahha looks so peaceful up there.
Some much needed R&R getting back up to the tent. Everything is looking good yet. Glad you found yourself a new dock to replace your old one up there. Some very nice sunnies and perch you caught too. I do have to give you kuddos, you can clean them little northern while I can't. lol I don't like them much under 7 pounds myself. It's sad that Max has lost his hearing. It will be nice to see what kind of video you make for him if you do that. Take care Joe and keep them videos coming.
just ran across your video's man this awesome my wife inherited 50 acres in NC i've been paying taxes for 12 years never seen the property. After watching these video's think I'll take a ride up there just hangout for a day it's about a 3hr trip . NEW SUBSCRIBER
Thank you for the nice comment. If I was you I would be at that property every spare weekend I had available lol. My drive to the tent takes 4 hours and I do not mind that a bit.
Thank you for subscribing Benjamin, I appreciate that you did. Joe
boy does this take me back great video joe
Fine way to spend some days off! Good job Joe! Regards to Max!
Loved the way Max was actually checking out the scenery from the boat, lol. ♥️
Lucky man you are Joe...It's absolutely beautiful at the tent!!
I how personal watch a lot of your VIDEOS n the past 6 months or more.Seeing some new updated one.ENJOYING PEACEFUL
Great footage, a lot of effort. thanks for sharing. We have nothing like what you have in Australia, Nicely done.
+Lloyd Howlett Thank you for the nice comment. Joe
Max nodded yes after you asked him if he needed to go out...I love your camp!!
Awesome video Joe! Amazing land up there. Can't wait for the cabin to go up!
Great vid. It just doesn't get any better than that. Max is cool. Couple things on your braid which I just found out recently. It's the thin diameter most likely that is giving you bail issues. It's most critical to match the diameter of your line on a baitcaster rather than breaking strength. That's why the guys use 50# braid on their baitcasters for bass fishing...it has the diameter of 12# mono. Fireline braid has a radial construction that'll work great for you. Also, as an open face spinning reel guy, (and I don't know if it's the same for you baitcaster guys) I have to load up my spool with some mono first and then tie the braid to it using a couple fisherman's knot's. Because the braid is so mush thinner (and more expensive) it would take all of 300 yards to fill to that optimal 1/8" on the spool. I'll look forward to your next excursion!
Buck Fifty Thank you, that makes perfect sense. I will get some different line. I have never got the hang of the spinning reel, it always feels backwards or something to me lol. I use my bait caster for casting and a closed face for off the dock. Thank you for the tip on the line, its greatly appreciated. Joe
My first time catching one of your videos and it was pretty good dude...so you got yourself a new subscriber just like one of those fish you caught...thanks for sharing...peace...
Best vid ive seen in a while. Pure peace, what else can a guy ask for.
I am not a tent person at all. But this is great. Best tent I've ever seen ...I could actually camp in this for longer than a few days ...:)
