Hey buddy it's Sam from ALONE here. Be sure to keep your ferro rod in a safe place. If you keep it too close to the Ocean you may lose it in the tide. Love your channel by the way! haha Juuust messing with you Joe
I have been saving all your ALONE musings and videos for a special day. Well, I guess that is today. LOL. Honestly I think a lot of us feel we know you guys (or you) better now, than last summer when the show wrapped etc. That is when I actually STARTED into all this BushCraft as you know. I can say for a FACT, watching a skilled woodsman like yourself lose that vital firesteel on that beach friggin traummed me, but --- TAUGHT me a lesson, and likely a million other people. It traummed me and my heart sank for you bro. I have not told you this yet. I knew it was over for you in that wet place if you could not find it, I could not believe it was gone, I felt sick to my stomach. Honestly. I am not going to say I am glad you lost it in order to teach a million people a valuable lesson about not losing stuff, setting it down, or keeping it attached to our body or another device or bright orange paracord on stuff etc..... but if that was someone, not on a show, no sat phone to make the call with or a plane or chopper coming to get them IRL...... that person may have died. That is the lesson I think that was scared into me, and also because you are a CANADIAN like Wayne --- I really wanted to see you guys go far. The secondary lesson for everyone -- is that if a skilled guy like you has that happen to them.... Imagine the %/chance the rest of us mortals have of doing it and really getting screwed LOL. I wanted to share my thoughts at the right time, and honestly, if that is the reason this happened, one skilled guy has something happen to them.... so a million more really learn a life lesson, then Joe, your appearance on the show, is well, well worth it - and I hope you know I am sincere and you have peace with it, it could haunt someone - but the lessons for many others - you helped clearly teach and that is also a victory for the greater good, in my mind. Most sincerely BD
+JoeRobinetBushcraft - also, it would have been easy to give up on the channel but you love the outdoors too much, it is pretty clear. Your sharing of knowledge is good for so many of us, I believe this whole experience has made you stronger. I think everyone incl. your family benefits from that. But $500k woulda been nice also lol. Blessings
Just watched a few episodes. O.O Brings back a few memories lol. The last couple of years I used to say that there is no lonelier place than in between people, but now I remember, no it isn't. Out alone with yourself is.
Joe my brother u don’t have to explain yourself to nobody,u are awesome I love ur channel ur content I learn something every time I watch your channel keep the cids coming brother
I go to bed every night watching one of you two...... and here you are communicating. It's like when mom and dad start getting back together! Only.....I guess it's dad and dad? But you aren't my fathers. This got weird.... I'm sorry.
First, major props to all the guy who took place in the challenge, The History Channel and the show producers for putting a show like this on the air. I really enjoyed the first episode and can't wait to see the rest. Joe, I have been watching your videos for a while now mainly to learn about new parks and places to visit here in Ontario. Along the way I have learned a lot from you and it has helped me make some major changes to my kit. I am, or was, a traditional canoe camper but I have started looking deeper into the bushcraft skills you focus on and can't wait to start practicing. Good luck on the show, thanks for all the inspiration.
Johnathon Ayles Johnathon, that is so awesome to hear!. I'm glad I could have been some help to you along the way. If you ever want to talk about places to camp in On. feel free to email me. jrobinet1@cogeco.ca
Pyro7502 Thank you for the vote of confidence! :) The one thing I am afraid of facing without some protection is a bear. Most people which I know who had seen a bear up close got away with it. But I have one friend in Brasov who got attacked...
Just finished watching episode 2 and I would like to say not only to you but the other 9 contestants, to even attempt this took courage, it's not a normal part of the human condition to deliberately put yourself at risk. I am enjoying the show so far and look forward to the rest of it. Haters will hate, internet hero's will brag and bash but you mate!! I applaud your courage thank you.
I'm thinking the steel did you in. If I was in that situation, I'd be spending a lot of time on my knees literally praying to find in in the pebbles - it's probably within 10 feet circle! Man, I hope you end up finding it. I did a 5 day solo this spring and it was all mental, I also have a young kid and this weighed on my mind more than anything. Having a kid and wife back home is the real game - a huge disadvantage in this sort of thing.
Dont let my comment make ur head to big...but...IMHO, you are one of the best in bushcraft... I am an old guy... been in the woods all my life... and I have learned a lot from you... mostly, the calm confidence you show... many could benefit from similar behavior.... WELL DONE !!! Dave, Akron, Ohio
Great explanation of the rationale behind your selections and on how you researched things. I have a tremendous amount of respect for all of you that took the challenge.
Loved the logic of why you chose the items you did. Never thought about gill nets before. Rock solid tip. Many thanks for sharing that! On the subject of "trolls and haters": I love responding to them using the kindest words I can dredge from the gray matter. Its very disarming, but sends a clear message that anyone following the comments can pick up on. Always a kind word, that's my mantra. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and experience. Cheers from Montreal QC
Thanks Joe for taking the time to share your thoughts on this great video! Surprisingly enough, I wasn't aware you were on the 'ALONE' series until this video (I'm a little behind on watching the series...), but it makes sense since I like ALL your other videos and your common sense attitude toward survival/outdoor life. Again, thanks for taking the time to make this video and sharing your ideas! Safe bushcrafting/survival/hiking/camping and outdoor life to you and yours ALWAYS!
If you have never done anything like this you need to know it's the hardest thing to do. I spent 13 months in the Mountains of Oklahoma by myself, you become your own worst enemy. So to you guys that even tried it, I salute you!
I know you did your best out there Joe. It looks tough and ugly wet. I saw they other guys struggling with fire also. Rooting for you big time. I even have my wife and two daughters watching. Thanks for sharing.
Great Items! I would have had similar stuff for sure! Even Dick Proenneke didn't Shoot big game very often. He said it was just to much for one man. IMO you had the right idea the sea has been feeding people for generations. If you want to learn to clean big game its a fairly easy task to learn. Thanks for sharing Joe!
Joe, I greatly admire you for just attempting the "Alone" show. Most of the guys and gals I know that claim to be outdoor people are anything but. I was a wetlands and wildlife biologist for many, many years, and spent 12-14 hours a day tromping through the woods and wetlands. Saw a LOT of interesting things along the way, and learned a lot. Not sure how long I would last now, as I am 71. Still love backpack camping, with minimalist equipment - just cannot haul more than about 20 lb. So - you done good! Abysmal environment, for sure. Congrats to you!
Thanks for sharing this Joe! Its interesting to hear your thoughts about your axe, and that you chose to bring that over a saw (when tools and number of items were limited). I was taught growing up as a kid when I was sent to a really old-school kids canoeing and woodcraft Camp for 7 summers, axemanship starting when I was 11 years old where I was first using an axe full time, 2 1/2 pound head, 26-28 inch handles. This was THE woodsman's (and woods-Kids) tool. The Camp did not allow us to use saws - never. On all our canoe trips us kids used axes, and all our woodcraft training in main camp between canoe trips we used axes. This was true of many Camps back in the day. On canoe trips we made fires for every breakfast and dinner, no matter how much rain, otherwise we did not eat (and we always manged to get'r done by cutting large diameter dry and splitting out the dry wood). The modern outdoor magazines and gear store employees slag and criticize the axe, promote the saw, say axes are not safe, etc. But when trained well for skills and safety, the axes can serve the bushman in all forested environments. If I had to chose only one tool between axe and saw, I would chose axe every time. Obviously I bring both on my winter and summer trips when there are no limitation rules, because saws are very nice to use. But if rules are put in place for limited tools, I think you made the right choice to choose the axe, and a good sized axe (2.5 lb, 26 inch handle) that can do just about everything. Looking forward to the rest of the Alone series!
Wintertrekker Agree with your comments! The axe is the tool of the woodsman, and unbeatable in skilled hands. People often say the knife is the most important tool. I scoff at that. Without my axe, I'd be frozen and dead on a mountain somewhere, several times over. Having a belt knife doesn't change that, at least not where I live.
Hi,I think that everyone who have been in that kind of environment without any outside support deserve respect.I haven't seen the show yet,only trailers but for me this is real Survivor.These people who leaves bad comments for me they do not know what is to be Alone in the wild.My respect and best regards.
my list would include- 1. A large tarp 2. Survivor Cord 3. A Gerber Strongarm 4. A GIANT ferro rod 5. A synthetic sleeping bag 6. Large axe 8. metal cup/pot 9. A Cold Steel blowgun + a couple darts 10. A backpack for holding the stuff or scavenged items.
I My son has found the gear you are given, banned items and the list to choose from idk if they will allow survivor chord, they give you a backpack and can't take a blowgun,
Thanks, that answers a lot of questions. We've all started thinking about our own 10 item list. Can't wait for the next episode and more videos from you.
I wanna go on the show, and bring 10 of the dumbest items on the list lol Like, i'll bring the rubber ducky, the avocado, the ham radio, and half a radiator hose.
This was a game we'd play back when I did trail work. What are the dumbest things you can bring... joke was ''Yup, out here for eight days and all I have with me is this empty can of altoids and large jawbreaker candy ball...etc" haha good times.
Yeah, the car door has springs, glass, lever arms, and metal sheet, I'm sure a little study could reconfigure a car door into a highly effective small game trap.
There is more than that too it as well, don't forget the wiring, and maybe even bearings. You could make all kinds of things with a car door, or you could just use the whole thing as a great door to your shelter that if it is a manual door, you could even roll down the window in. If you had a metal saw, you could saw arrow heads out of it and everything. You could make any number of things out of a car door.
My household went nuts when we saw you in the ads on T.V. We just saw the second episode and can't wait for next Thursday. Thanks for what you took and why you chose them.
An insightful breakdown and full props to you for doing the challenge in the first place. Im looking forward to watching the episodes and such a shame reg the trolls, but as you said it comes with the terriotory ...saying that for the persistent offenders there's always the block option ha! :) Keep representing bro ~Peace~
Hey Joe! Thanks for putting yourself out there and doing the show. People like you are why I love our neighbors to the north! Glad to have you on the "northern front"! lol! Peace, Kennen from Oregon.
Man, I was so bummed that you had to tap, but I'm not going to sit here and say that I could have lasted even a fraction of that time out there. You thought out your kit pretty damn well, and had it not been for a simple mistake anyone might have made, I bet you could have gone the distance. Still love watching all your videos, and all the trolls out there can piss off.
Cool video. I was not even aware of this show. You made good points on the items you brought and could not agree more with bringing items that you are familiar with and comfortable using! I am looking forward to watching this series!!
Damn Joe, I can't believe you lost that flint and steel. You got me all worked up. Then it ends there. I'm hopping you found it as you will suffer some discomfort for that mistake. I'm also noticing a pattern here. The people that had zero experience with nature and wildlife. tapped out inside two days! That goes to show people that have skill and physical strength aren't enough. As they had all that and still failed before the body was even close to breaking down. They broke mentally and it cost them. I love that bear conversation you had as well. Then you moved over to his side. Shows real composer and mental control. As the bear and wildlife will lead you to water. As they need it too. Just paying attention to them is a skill set. Great Stuff
Claude Rains I couldn't have said it better... my thought's exactly. Good luck Joe! My group of Alone watchers are all rooting for you and hope that you find your ferro in the next episode or figure out how to overcome the loss of it. Had us all excited about the new location (which looks way more habitable), only to have our hearts drop as you searched for the ferro.
JoeRobinetBushcraft Joe!!!! I can't believe you lost your Ferro Rod?! :-O That sucks! Dude, I hope you find it next episode -- you are my favorite (and that isn't even just because I knew you before hand!)
Peakbaggers For Cancer I was just thinking the same. Undoubtedly he has to be _very_ careful what he says. My guess is he finds it. Maybe a lesson for later participants in this show is to paint everything possible in bright colours. It's early days, but it _appears_ the mental challenges are greater for some than others. Two have left due to concerns about predation. Both would typically be loaded to the brim with firearms. Is it possible that being stripped of their guns was their undoing? Of course, it may be that they had more abundant predators around them.
Thanks for sharing your personal 10 items Joe, appreciate it. I really am enjoying the Alone series. It always leaves me wanting to see more and more. I'm proud for you on the challenge you took on, pretty amazing! I wish you all the best in all of your future endeavors and look forward to see more great things from you! Cheers Joe, rock
This is cool to hear what your thoughts were on your gear man, to cool.Thanks for sharing with us man. Liked the vid man.I just went out and did a video, should be up in the next day or two.
I am loving this series. I am dying to know if there is a reason I haven't seen anyone sharpen a stick and make a spear for protection. The first 2 episodes have seemed to have wolves and threats that would merit having something to add that level of security. Thanks brother
"You don't need to see it, it's a firesteel" That's because you lost it! haha. Man I was rooting for you. I know you could've made it if it weren't for that. Tough luck, but valuable lesson learned :P
Good stuff everything you took made good sense but I have know was whisky on the list, lol, I don't know if I could make it with out some whisky. Jason
Team Joe! If you have haters then you're doing something right. Thanks for sharing the items you took and why, your game plan seemed solid cant wait to see if it worked out!
All ten items made good sense. Well chosen! It seems like the show is not broadcast here in Sweden ( yet?) if someone knows if it is please tell me I would like to watch. I bet it was a great opportunity and a huge adventure! Thank you for sharing!
Maritimer I did and it it broadcast tomorrow evening. But I have only access to "viasat history HD" and that doesn´t seems to be the same thing. :( Thanks anyway for a great tip. I will keep my eyes open! /Ulrica
Dex Niemeyer Thank you so much Dex, I will check that up! /Ulrica Edit; I have tried it, but needed to leave out my creditcard number even for a free account. That´s something I don´t trust, ( have bad experience of that and learned my lesson!) so I will try and find another way. Thanks anyway. /Ulrica
Heck yeah I want to hear more of your thoughts about what you would have done differently or what you would have brought instead or left behind - after the tenth episode, of course. Loving the show and great to see you on it!
I just watched episode 3 and I am coming to the quick realization that what you guys have all done on the show so far is just plain hard! - mentally, physically and emotionally hard. I've learn't so much from you over the past couple of months and I'll use this last episode to motivate me to keep learning as much as possible - even small details matter in these types of situations. Thanks for teaching me yet another lesson, looking forward to seeing more videos.
Just as an aside I spent a year up on the north island in 1970-71. I got there from Kingston on Nov 20 and it was pouring and it was still pouring on June 20th. We never really dried out, our boots rotted away. The Radar Sqn took building a trail to Cape Scott for the BC joining confederation Centennial project. Every week 10 servicemen from the base would head out into the woods to work on clearing the bush trail. At first we were all excited but after 10 times out there constantly soaked and exhausted it became less and less 'fun'. I hate salmon berry to this day. We didn't have the cool modern camping gear like today so it was horrendous. Thankfully there were 10 of us to share the 'adventure' most of us became really excellent life long friends on the way. You are doing just great. campingcdn.blogspot.ca/2014/01/rcaf-station-holberg-cfs-holberg.html
Hey Joe, watched first 2 episodes and can't wait to see more! I definitely would like for you to share as much as possible when allowed. I follow you and Mitch online and am hoping you guys did well. Loved your comment on hoping other contestant got a better "site" than you, very selfless in such a stressful situation! Just glad to see that you're in one piece! Take care!
I've been wondering, were you limited on how much clothing you were allowed? Being from Vancouver Island myself, I wouldn't be caught dead out there trying what you were doing without wool & Gore-Tex everything with plenty of spares. Smart food strategy, by the way. I would have prepared the same way. I'm also curious about how the traffic was on that logging road behind you. I suppose engaging any loggers would lead to disqualification, right?
Thought I recognized you. So glad to run across this video even 2 yrs later. Good luck and I thought the Alone show wasn't that fair to you men. Take care of yourself. gigi
You did great on the first episode :) Here in Sweden I'm now waiting on episode 2. Hope you had a great time there during the show. Looked like it really tested you guys when it comes to both physical and mental strenght! Take care, Joachim
A lot of keyboard warriors bashing you guys. I heard 10 piece kit and said oh, that's easy so I picked 10 things I have, looked at what History said you all had and turned on the TV and within 10 minutes I knew this was not going to go well for anybody. I doubt anybody made it a month.
you are awesome. I have been telling everyone to watch the show. I started following you about a year and a half ago and am pumped that your on such a sweet show!
Zane Gardner I hear that. I don't even go to Wal-Mart without my gun anymore, let ALONE get dropped off on an island that has bears, wolves, and big cats.
David Smith same here brother!! To me it seems like history channel set them up for failure. Raining season, only ten items from a list if 40 they gave you, no firearms and on a island full of predators.
lol. Chances of being attacked by an animal in the woods are exceedingly small. Bear spray would be more than enough. Chances of being attacked in town are extremely small as well unless you live in a very bad area. Even then, chances are pretty low.
Dallas Van Winkle Tell that to the guy that got attack by the bear he sprayed with bear spray here recently. And if the animals are not bothering me then im never gonna shoot them hahahahah its not like im walking up to a bear with my gun out and telling him to charge me so i can shoot him......to each his own but when people come in and say chances are low....makes them sound like a dummy. I wish i had the powers to see into the future like some people....or could read animals minds to know what they are gonna do. Man your talented. Wild animals are so friendly....
I have camped and done bushcraft for most of my life.As a Canadian,I laugh at Americans with their bags packed with guns and ammo and their cold weather survival tips LOL You guys don't know the cold and don't know how to do anything out in the woods without a gun. As far as this tool bag who made the video....another example of someone pretending they are an expert while making "camping" videos...when the chips were down,excuses and failure,the proof is in the pudding. Now he is selling some piece of shit bag for $167 bucks that I could get for $30 bucks and a patch of his fucking dog for $20. Anyone who follows this tool,doesn't have a clue.
Brother, I just saw your departure from alone. Don't look down on yourself or what happened. Use it as a learning experience, and do better next time. What happened to you, taught me about where and how I'll carry my fire steel. I love your TH-cam channel, keep up the good work.
Joe, I had found your channel before I had found Alone on the DVR . I can honestly say that watching your channel and then ultimately alone stoked my interest in bushcrafting and backpacking. Had it not been for that I am not sure if I would have never gone back into the backcountry. I was a pretty hardcore backpacker and camper when I was in my twenties but I have a lot of knowledge and experience in my grey beard now and I was resolved that my camping would be at 18th century reenactments. Because of you inspiring me to get back out I now have gotten back into the backcountry bushcrafting and have got a few buddies and their family too also. So Joe thank you so much 😊! I now can't wait to get backcountry even if it is for an overnight .
Best of luck to you Joe. It's great to see guys like you, Mitch, and Kullcraven on a TV Challenge. I've a lot of respect for all of you, and hope the place didn't beat you up too much. What a nasty place for a vacation! Al least we know you came out alive. I'll be watching.
So far seems like a great show, and thanks for doing this video...we all like the gear debates. I hope the folks who didn't win still got something for their time and putting themselves out there.
Episode #3, hated to see you go! I have to say I love watching these types of shows but I could not have even tried what you guys attempted. I was hoping you would have found that fire steel, I was pulling for you. The over all theme I am gathering from this show is the importance of family to survive/thrive. Family seems to be the most important piece of gear. I love watching your videos keep them coming and keep your head up! I am sure you learned more from this experience than any other "perfect" camping trip which makes this experience a success!
Late to the video just realized alone is on hulu I know u tapped so I just went to season 2 jus cuz...but out of all the participants I know of u are the dopest to actually watch
I don't watch much television, and have not seen the Alone program yet. Just want to say that I appreciate that you share your experiences with the world through your videos. I have learned a great deal from them. Your genuine humility is refreshing in a subject that often seems to incubate so-called experts with veiled and unveiled false modesty. I am thankful to Survival Lilly for pointing me to your channel. I liked it the first time and continue to be a fan. Keep up the good work.
Very kewl show! Can you say what clothing items, any other bags, etc. you were allowed to bring, yet? Amazing opportunity of a lifetime! Knowledge, skills (& some luck) are critical to surviving (&/or thriving) in a "lost while camping" situation. I hope the show takes off! People discussing problem-solving BEFORE something happens where they might be separated from others in the woods can save lives! Knowledge not only allows people to survive in the woods, lowering or even eliminating fears, but also helps people really enjoy camping, etc. that might not otherwise. GREAT stuff! Glad I stumbled upon this show! Looking forward to seeing more!
You take what you get and you get what you take. Having seen the list of what you could take you made the right choices based on what you know you can work with. Also known as using your noggin. Thank you for the informative video Joe, keep em coming.
Nice video i like hearing what the thought process was behind your items it really shows just how much care and attention you took in your choices. Those of us on the outside if we were to just look at a list of what you brought we would have a much different perception of you and your kit. Love the show and am looking forward to seeing how you do so far you seem to be pretty switched on and I'm sure you'll do great.
Joe, some things just are not meant to be, but you came out better and stronger after the show. I just discovered the show and went back and watched your season. I like what Fowler said after winning season 3, he said every day of your life is an opportunity to accomplish something. There in lies the lesson we can all take away from the show. Take each day as it comes and push through. We will surprise ourselves with what we can achieve. (paraphrased of course)
Thanks for going through your 10 items very interesting on what you took and your thinking behind them. I would like to see the list of the 40 and I hope it gets released at some point. You chose stuff you knew very well to use. I have been in similar situations everything wet and everything but never with that much wild life about which could harm me, so major kudos for that. Great show and look forward to seeing the rest of the show. Well done for doing it
OMG So I dont watch TV and a friend told me I would really like this show Alone. I went back to the first season and . . . Hey I know that Guy . . .That's Joe!!! Haaaa Super Awesome Dude!!! ~ I know I'm late to the party as usual!! My family and I really love your videos!! Thanks so much we learned a lot over the years!!! :)
Hey buddy it's Sam from ALONE here. Be sure to keep your ferro rod in a safe place. If you keep it too close to the Ocean you may lose it in the tide. Love your channel by the way! haha Juuust messing with you Joe
Samuel Larson Hey, Sam from ALONE, this is Joe from ALONE...thanks for the tips;)
Haha love you man, lets hang out soon!
Samuel Larson That would be nice.
+JoeRobinetBushcraft haha, 2 of my favorite contestants on the show :) great job on the show to the both of you!
Samuel Larson i
I didn't watch all episodes of Alone. But I didn't even realize you were on that show until now lol. That is pretty cool
yea he left on the first day because he lost his ferro rod
plague apple not the first day lol
i watched this show. didnt ever even know you were on it. thats cool as hell
I'm so happy you got chosen for the show! It was great spending the week with you during "pre-training"
I have been saving all your ALONE musings and videos for a special day. Well, I guess that is today. LOL. Honestly I think a lot of us feel we know you guys (or you) better now, than last summer when the show wrapped etc. That is when I actually STARTED into all this BushCraft as you know. I can say for a FACT, watching a skilled woodsman like yourself lose that vital firesteel on that beach friggin traummed me, but --- TAUGHT me a lesson, and likely a million other people.
It traummed me and my heart sank for you bro. I have not told you this yet. I knew it was over for you in that wet place if you could not find it, I could not believe it was gone, I felt sick to my stomach. Honestly. I am not going to say I am glad you lost it in order to teach a million people a valuable lesson about not losing stuff, setting it down, or keeping it attached to our body or another device or bright orange paracord on stuff etc..... but if that was someone, not on a show, no sat phone to make the call with or a plane or chopper coming to get them IRL...... that person may have died. That is the lesson I think that was scared into me, and also because you are a CANADIAN like Wayne --- I really wanted to see you guys go far. The secondary lesson for everyone -- is that if a skilled guy like you has that happen to them.... Imagine the %/chance the rest of us mortals have of doing it and really getting screwed LOL.
I wanted to share my thoughts at the right time, and honestly, if that is the reason this happened, one skilled guy has something happen to them.... so a million more really learn a life lesson, then Joe, your appearance on the show, is well, well worth it - and I hope you know I am sincere and you have peace with it, it could haunt someone - but the lessons for many others - you helped clearly teach and that is also a victory for the greater good, in my mind. Most sincerely BD
+Barry Dutton Thank you, sir.
+JoeRobinetBushcraft - also, it would have been easy to give up on the channel but you love the outdoors too much, it is pretty clear. Your sharing of knowledge is good for so many of us, I believe this whole experience has made you stronger. I think everyone incl. your family benefits from that. But $500k woulda been nice also lol. Blessings
So is there anywhere I can watch that show online?
Just watched a few episodes. O.O Brings back a few memories lol. The last couple of years I used to say that there is no lonelier place than in between people, but now I remember, no it isn't. Out alone with yourself is.
th-cam.com/video/HNjEPHvDxZQ/w-d-xo.html
Joe my brother u don’t have to explain yourself to nobody,u are awesome I love ur channel ur content I learn something every time I watch your channel keep the cids coming brother
All good choices , you used good logic for all you chose. I saw the show and you did great for that environment.
Reallybigmonkey1 Thanks man!
I go to bed every night watching one of you two...... and here you are communicating. It's like when mom and dad start getting back together! Only.....I guess it's dad and dad? But you aren't my fathers. This got weird.... I'm sorry.
Great job joe
First, major props to all the guy who took place in the challenge, The History Channel and the show producers for putting a show like this on the air. I really enjoyed the first episode and can't wait to see the rest.

Johnathon Ayles Johnathon, that is so awesome to hear!.
I'm glad I could have been some help to you along the way.
If you ever want to talk about places to camp in On. feel free to email me. jrobinet1@cogeco.ca
All 10 guy who went there have my respect. See the first episode and I really liked it!
As for this video: I learned something from it. So: Thanks!
SpartanJohns Awesome!
Pyro7502 Thank you for the vote of confidence! :) The one thing I am afraid of facing without some protection is a bear. Most people which I know who had seen a bear up close got away with it. But I have one friend in Brasov who got attacked...
Just finished watching episode 2 and I would like to say not only to you but the other 9 contestants, to even attempt this took courage, it's not a normal part of the human condition to deliberately put yourself at risk. I am enjoying the show so far and look forward to the rest of it. Haters will hate, internet hero's will brag and bash but you mate!! I applaud your courage thank you.
brutalbrital I do want to ask a question, when you seen that bear......was there a little soiling??? lmao I know I would have hahaha
brutalbrital hahaha, no soiling...a little tinkling though ;)
I'm thinking the steel did you in. If I was in that situation, I'd be spending a lot of time on my knees literally praying to find in in the pebbles - it's probably within 10 feet circle! Man, I hope you end up finding it. I did a 5 day solo this spring and it was all mental, I also have a young kid and this weighed on my mind more than anything. Having a kid and wife back home is the real game - a huge disadvantage in this sort of thing.
billert55 no doubt.
Agreed
Dont let my comment make ur head to big...but...IMHO, you are one of the best in bushcraft... I am an old guy... been in the woods all my life... and I have learned a lot from you... mostly, the calm confidence you show... many could benefit from similar behavior.... WELL DONE !!! Dave, Akron, Ohio
Dave In'ohio Thanks, a lot, Dave, I really appreciate that.
I love that you love your axe, I love my old beauty as well!
Great explanation of the rationale behind your selections and on how you researched things. I have a tremendous amount of respect for all of you that took the challenge.
Philip Culbertson Thank you very much.
Joe ---- your shows are great --- just do what you do
Loved the logic of why you chose the items you did. Never thought about gill nets before. Rock solid tip. Many thanks for sharing that! On the subject of "trolls and haters": I love responding to them using the kindest words I can dredge from the gray matter. Its very disarming, but sends a clear message that anyone following the comments can pick up on. Always a kind word, that's my mantra. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Cheers from Montreal QC
Loved the ax talk! Reminded me of the US Marine Rifle Creed. "This is my ax, there are many like it but this one is mine." haha! Good stuff!
Thanks Joe for taking the time to share your thoughts on this great video! Surprisingly enough, I wasn't aware you were on the 'ALONE' series until this video (I'm a little behind on watching the series...), but it makes sense since I like ALL your other videos and your common sense attitude toward survival/outdoor life. Again, thanks for taking the time to make this video and sharing your ideas! Safe bushcrafting/survival/hiking/camping and outdoor life to you and yours ALWAYS!
Same
If you have never done anything like this you need to know it's the hardest thing to do. I spent 13 months in the Mountains of Oklahoma by myself, you become your own worst enemy. So to you guys that even tried it, I salute you!
I know you did your best out there Joe. It looks tough and ugly wet. I saw they other guys struggling with fire also. Rooting for you big time. I even have my wife and two daughters watching. Thanks for sharing.
Great Items! I would have had similar stuff for sure! Even Dick Proenneke didn't Shoot big game very often. He said it was just to much for one man. IMO you had the right idea the sea has been feeding people for generations. If you want to learn to clean big game its a fairly easy task to learn. Thanks for sharing Joe!
TomsBackwoods thanks, Tom.
Joe, I greatly admire you for just attempting the "Alone" show. Most of the guys and gals I know that claim to be outdoor people are anything but. I was a wetlands and wildlife biologist for many, many years, and spent 12-14 hours a day tromping through the woods and wetlands. Saw a LOT of interesting things along the way, and learned a lot. Not sure how long I would last now, as I am 71. Still love backpack camping, with minimalist equipment - just cannot haul more than about 20 lb.
So - you done good! Abysmal environment, for sure. Congrats to you!
Thanks for sharing this Joe! Its interesting to hear your thoughts about your axe, and that you chose to bring that over a saw (when tools and number of items were limited). I was taught growing up as a kid when I was sent to a really old-school kids canoeing and woodcraft Camp for 7 summers, axemanship starting when I was 11 years old where I was first using an axe full time, 2 1/2 pound head, 26-28 inch handles. This was THE woodsman's (and woods-Kids) tool. The Camp did not allow us to use saws - never. On all our canoe trips us kids used axes, and all our woodcraft training in main camp between canoe trips we used axes. This was true of many Camps back in the day. On canoe trips we made fires for every breakfast and dinner, no matter how much rain, otherwise we did not eat (and we always manged to get'r done by cutting large diameter dry and splitting out the dry wood). The modern outdoor magazines and gear store employees slag and criticize the axe, promote the saw, say axes are not safe, etc. But when trained well for skills and safety, the axes can serve the bushman in all forested environments. If I had to chose only one tool between axe and saw, I would chose axe every time. Obviously I bring both on my winter and summer trips when there are no limitation rules, because saws are very nice to use. But if rules are put in place for limited tools, I think you made the right choice to choose the axe, and a good sized axe (2.5 lb, 26 inch handle) that can do just about everything. Looking forward to the rest of the Alone series!
Wintertrekker Thanks, man. Yes, I completely agree, and know your love for the axe!
Wintertrekker Agree with your comments! The axe is the tool of the woodsman, and unbeatable in skilled hands.
People often say the knife is the most important tool. I scoff at that. Without my axe, I'd be frozen and dead on a mountain somewhere, several times over. Having a belt knife doesn't change that, at least not where I live.
Wintertrekker Right on.
NothingCoherent the axe is usless..i have no use at all for it in the sub-tropics. Like you said it depends on where you live
Ei Pi, what is the preferred tool where you live?
Hi,I think that everyone who have been in that kind of environment without any outside support deserve respect.I haven't seen the show yet,only trailers but for me this is real Survivor.These people who leaves bad comments for me they do not know what is to be Alone in the wild.My respect and best regards.
TheStoyanbahchevanov Thank you, I agree.
I loved the show...I really hope it continues
thanks Joe! glad you survived the experience, it was intense! definitely making memories!
my list would include-
1. A large tarp
2. Survivor Cord
3. A Gerber Strongarm
4. A GIANT ferro rod
5. A synthetic sleeping bag
6. Large axe
8. metal cup/pot
9. A Cold Steel blowgun + a couple darts
10. A backpack for holding the stuff or scavenged items.
Hahahahahaaa. Blowgun,. lol
Bima Zivanovic you think you can't hunt with a .625 blowgun?
Noah Koenig i think you can,but still,i would choose some more serious weapon
Noah Koenig
I
My son has found the gear you are given, banned items and the list to choose from idk if they will allow survivor chord, they give you a backpack and can't take a blowgun,
Thanks, that answers a lot of questions. We've all started thinking about our own 10 item list. Can't wait for the next episode and more videos from you.
I wanna go on the show, and bring 10 of the dumbest items on the list lol Like, i'll bring the rubber ducky, the avocado, the ham radio, and half a radiator hose.
A car door would be a lot more useful than you think, and a lot more useful than a good part of that list.
This was a game we'd play back when I did trail work. What are the dumbest things you can bring... joke was ''Yup, out here for eight days and all I have with me is this empty can of altoids and large jawbreaker candy ball...etc" haha good times.
Yeah, the car door has springs, glass, lever arms, and metal sheet, I'm sure a little study could reconfigure a car door into a highly effective small game trap.
There is more than that too it as well, don't forget the wiring, and maybe even bearings. You could make all kinds of things with a car door, or you could just use the whole thing as a great door to your shelter that if it is a manual door, you could even roll down the window in. If you had a metal saw, you could saw arrow heads out of it and everything. You could make any number of things out of a car door.
that's funny as hell
My household went nuts when we saw you in the ads on T.V. We just saw the second episode and can't wait for next Thursday. Thanks for what you took and why you chose them.
you did good that place is brutal and looking forward to see more about the show when you can talk about it
Mad respect for you Joe - to put it on the line and hope it turns out good takes serious nuts man. Watched the first ep and you do good. Kudos.
CedricAda Gear and Outdoors much appreciated!
An insightful breakdown and full props to you for doing the challenge in the first place. Im looking forward to watching the episodes and such a shame reg the trolls, but as you said it comes with the terriotory ...saying that for the persistent offenders there's always the block option ha! :) Keep representing bro ~Peace~
Zed Outdoors no doubt, you are correct Zed. thanks for the support, man...I mean it.
Hey Joe! Thanks for putting yourself out there and doing the show. People like you are why I love our neighbors to the north! Glad to have you on the "northern front"! lol! Peace, Kennen from Oregon.
Man, I was so bummed that you had to tap, but I'm not going to sit here and say that I could have lasted even a fraction of that time out there. You thought out your kit pretty damn well, and had it not been for a simple mistake anyone might have made, I bet you could have gone the distance. Still love watching all your videos, and all the trolls out there can piss off.
kl
Cool video. I was not even aware of this show. You made good points on the items you brought and could not agree more with bringing items that you are familiar with and comfortable using! I am looking forward to watching this series!!
Damn Joe, I can't believe you lost that flint and steel. You got me all worked up. Then it ends there. I'm hopping you found it as you will suffer some discomfort for that mistake.
I'm also noticing a pattern here. The people that had zero experience with nature and wildlife. tapped out inside two days! That goes to show people that have skill and physical strength aren't enough. As they had all that and still failed before the body was even close to breaking down. They broke mentally and it cost them.
I love that bear conversation you had as well. Then you moved over to his side. Shows real composer and mental control. As the bear and wildlife will lead you to water. As they need it too. Just paying attention to them is a skill set.
Great Stuff
Claude Rains thanks, man.
Think Joe and someone else on the show nailed it. It seems like a huge mental game.
Claude Rains I couldn't have said it better... my thought's exactly.
Good luck Joe! My group of Alone watchers are all rooting for you and hope that you find your ferro in the next episode or figure out how to overcome the loss of it. Had us all excited about the new location (which looks way more habitable), only to have our hearts drop as you searched for the ferro.
I know you are done with the show but i am routing for you and you are an awesome guy.
JoeRobinetBushcraft Joe!!!! I can't believe you lost your Ferro Rod?! :-O That sucks! Dude, I hope you find it next episode -- you are my favorite (and that isn't even just because I knew you before hand!)
JoeRobinetBushcraft ...and I still can't get over that you are on this TV show. I made a Channel Trailer for a celebrity haha ;-)
Peakbaggers For Cancer can't believe he lost it
Peakbaggers For Cancer I was just thinking the same. Undoubtedly he has to be _very_ careful what he says. My guess is he finds it. Maybe a lesson for later participants in this show is to paint everything possible in bright colours.
It's early days, but it _appears_ the mental challenges are greater for some than others. Two have left due to concerns about predation. Both would typically be loaded to the brim with firearms. Is it possible that being stripped of their guns was their undoing? Of course, it may be that they had more abundant predators around them.
Thanks for sharing your personal 10 items Joe, appreciate it. I really am enjoying the Alone series. It always leaves me wanting to see more and more. I'm proud for you on the challenge you took on, pretty amazing! I wish you all the best in all of your future endeavors and look forward to see more great things from you!
Cheers Joe,
rock
This is cool to hear what your thoughts were on your gear man, to cool.Thanks for sharing with us man. Liked the vid man.I just went out and did a video, should be up in the next day or two.
Kullcraven Bushcraft I just came across this fella....and have only seen up to now the second episode...that 10 item list is cool!
Dude, i was rooting for u...ur episode was a great lesson on how quick things can change in the wild.
I am loving this series. I am dying to know if there is a reason I haven't seen anyone sharpen a stick and make a spear for protection. The first 2 episodes have seemed to have wolves and threats that would merit having something to add that level of security. Thanks brother
John Tewelow glad you like it.
I'm not just enjoying it, I'm lovin it. I've been looking forward to it for months and now I just have to wait from week to week. 😀
Ever watch the movie"The Edge"? They made spears and "hardened" the tips by burning them; works...
Just found your channel in 2020. Love your realness. I am looking to start my own, and letting you know I love your channel and you are an inspiration
"You don't need to see it, it's a firesteel" That's because you lost it! haha. Man I was rooting for you. I know you could've made it if it weren't for that. Tough luck, but valuable lesson learned :P
Joe I was totally rooting for you on Alone. I hate that you lost your fire rod .
Good stuff everything you took made good sense but I have know was whisky on the list, lol, I don't know if I could make it with out some whisky.
Jason
I haven't watched TV in 8 years but for this show I'll turn it on again.
So I take it Belgian Malinois was not on the list of 40?
Milesoutdoors Bushcraftbro Cane Corso maybe????
Milesoutdoors Bushcraftbro AAAAAAAAAAAAALL day..... ;)
Burley Outdoors What about a 12 pack of kraft dinner?
seanosomething that would have been my choice
Team Joe! If you have haters then you're doing something right. Thanks for sharing the items you took and why, your game plan seemed solid cant wait to see if it worked out!
ReeceBulb thanks, man!
All ten items made good sense. Well chosen!
It seems like the show is not broadcast here in Sweden ( yet?) if someone knows if it is please tell me I would like to watch.
I bet it was a great opportunity and a huge adventure! Thank you for sharing!
Gullrica Google the History channel, thats where I watched episode 1.
Maritimer I did and it it broadcast tomorrow evening. But I have only access to "viasat history HD" and that doesn´t seems to be the same thing. :( Thanks anyway for a great tip. I will keep my eyes open! /Ulrica
haha Good Luck ! I'm loving the show so far.
Gullrica www.primewire.ag/tv-2764402-Alone
Hope you can get this in Sweden... Great show so far.
Dex Niemeyer Thank you so much Dex, I will check that up! /Ulrica
Edit; I have tried it, but needed to leave out my creditcard number even for a free account. That´s something I don´t trust, ( have bad experience of that and learned my lesson!) so I will try and find another way. Thanks anyway. /Ulrica
What you did took balls. Don't let anyone ever tell you different. Much respect.
Heck yeah I want to hear more of your thoughts about what you would have done differently or what you would have brought instead or left behind - after the tenth episode, of course. Loving the show and great to see you on it!
I just watched episode 3 and I am coming to the quick realization that what you guys have all done on the show so far is just plain hard! - mentally, physically and emotionally hard. I've learn't so much from you over the past couple of months and I'll use this last episode to motivate me to keep learning as much as possible - even small details matter in these types of situations. Thanks for teaching me yet another lesson, looking forward to seeing more videos.
Rooting for you and fellow youtuber Mitch!
Alex Sarno Wayne has a YT channel too, Kullcraven Bushcraft just a FYI
Really enjoying the show and thanks for the gear breakdown. Respect to all 10 of you, no matter the outcome of the show. Cheers!
Pot
Axe
Knife
Fire starter
25 by 25 tarp
-30 Synthetic Sleeping bag
Paracord
Fishing lures
Fishing line
fish out a brown bear with that fishing line bro :D
AJ9 It's cool. I can't count to 10 with my shoes on either. :)
Bro i had NOO idea you were on ALONE! Ive been enjoying your videos because i came upon them by chance lol, now i have to watch your episodes on alone
Just finished watching No 2. Great job!! Loved your bear encounter. That's one Jim Shockey would really have loved to see!! Great job. love it.
A J Taylor Thanks!
Just as an aside I spent a year up on the north island in 1970-71. I got there from Kingston on Nov 20 and it was pouring and it was still pouring on June 20th. We never really dried out, our boots rotted away. The Radar Sqn took building a trail to Cape Scott for the BC joining confederation Centennial project. Every week 10 servicemen from the base would head out into the woods to work on clearing the bush trail. At first we were all excited but after 10 times out there constantly soaked and exhausted it became less and less 'fun'. I hate salmon berry to this day. We didn't have the cool modern camping gear like today so it was horrendous. Thankfully there were 10 of us to share the 'adventure' most of us became really excellent life long friends on the way. You are doing just great.
campingcdn.blogspot.ca/2014/01/rcaf-station-holberg-cfs-holberg.html
A J Taylor that sounds like a lot of fun to look back on, but NOT fun while doing it!
JoeRobinetBushcraft Same for you I'm thinking. Gotta keep routing for my favourite bushcrafters. Liking Kulls performance as well.
Thanks, bud.
Hey Joe, watched first 2 episodes and can't wait to see more! I definitely would like for you to share as much as possible when allowed. I follow you and Mitch online and am hoping you guys did well. Loved your comment on hoping other contestant got a better "site" than you, very selfless in such a stressful situation! Just glad to see that you're in one piece! Take care!
Glad to hear your thoughts on what you brought. Good stuff.
***** Thanks, dude!
Awesome video Joe, thanks for taking the time to share with us what you could. Much respect brother!
TNTim Bushcraft Thanks!
I've been wondering, were you limited on how much clothing you were allowed?
Being from Vancouver Island myself, I wouldn't be caught dead out there trying what you were doing without wool & Gore-Tex everything with plenty of spares.
Smart food strategy, by the way. I would have prepared the same way.
I'm also curious about how the traffic was on that logging road behind you. I suppose engaging any loggers would lead to disqualification, right?
Thought I recognized you. So glad to run across this video even 2 yrs later. Good luck and I thought the Alone show wasn't that fair to you men. Take care of yourself. gigi
Why didnt you just keep the fire you had burning? or was that just some history channel drama bs?
You did great on the first episode :) Here in Sweden I'm now waiting on episode 2. Hope you had a great time there during the show. Looked like it really tested you guys when it comes to both physical and mental strenght! Take care, Joachim
A lot of keyboard warriors bashing you guys. I heard 10 piece kit and said oh, that's easy so I picked 10 things I have, looked at what History said you all had and turned on the TV and within 10 minutes I knew this was not going to go well for anybody. I doubt anybody made it a month.
Thanks for sharing the 10 pc. kit you took. Not a lot of kit for a long term stay but it looks like you made some wise choices.
thpse guys never stood a chance vs Alan. They were out before they even started. Alan was even suprise he won after 54 days can you belive that.
The winner who lost 1 pound a day?
@@2adamast he lost so much weight also Sam. Now I wish they had a women's alone series so I can go for fun and loose weight lol
Thanks for Sharing. From what I've seen so far you did an awesome job on the show.
don't need to see your steel eh I THOUGHT YOU LOST YOUR STEEL JOE BOY!? lol
TwoFiveGaming right
you are awesome. I have been telling everyone to watch the show. I started following you about a year and a half ago and am pumped that your on such a sweet show!
Worsfold83 thanks, dude!
No firearms aloud? I'm automatically not going hahaha. Props
Zane Gardner I hear that. I don't even go to Wal-Mart without my gun anymore, let ALONE get dropped off on an island that has bears, wolves, and big cats.
David Smith same here brother!! To me it seems like history channel set them up for failure. Raining season, only ten items from a list if 40 they gave you, no firearms and on a island full of predators.
lol. Chances of being attacked by an animal in the woods are exceedingly small. Bear spray would be more than enough. Chances of being attacked in town are extremely small as well unless you live in a very bad area. Even then, chances are pretty low.
Dallas Van Winkle Tell that to the guy that got attack by the bear he sprayed with bear spray here recently. And if the animals are not bothering me then im never gonna shoot them hahahahah its not like im walking up to a bear with my gun out and telling him to charge me so i can shoot him......to each his own but when people come in and say chances are low....makes them sound like a dummy. I wish i had the powers to see into the future like some people....or could read animals minds to know what they are gonna do. Man your talented. Wild animals are so friendly....
I have camped and done bushcraft for most of my life.As a Canadian,I laugh at Americans with their bags packed with guns and ammo and their cold weather survival tips LOL
You guys don't know the cold and don't know how to do anything out in the woods without a gun.
As far as this tool bag who made the video....another example of someone pretending they are an expert while making "camping" videos...when the chips were down,excuses and failure,the proof is in the pudding.
Now he is selling some piece of shit bag for $167 bucks that I could get for $30 bucks and a patch of his fucking dog for $20.
Anyone who follows this tool,doesn't have a clue.
Brother, I just saw your departure from alone. Don't look down on yourself or what happened. Use it as a learning experience, and do better next time. What happened to you, taught me about where and how I'll carry my fire steel. I love your TH-cam channel, keep up the good work.
I’ve been binge watching all your videos.. very down to earth guy and Scout is awesome! Keep those videos coming!
Joe, I had found your channel before I had found Alone on the DVR . I can honestly say that watching your channel and then ultimately alone stoked my interest in bushcrafting and backpacking. Had it not been for that I am not sure if I would have never gone back into the backcountry. I was a pretty hardcore backpacker and camper when I was in my twenties but I have a lot of knowledge and experience in my grey beard now and I was resolved that my camping would be at 18th century reenactments. Because of you inspiring me to get back out I now have gotten back into the backcountry bushcrafting and have got a few buddies and their family too also. So Joe thank you so much 😊! I now can't wait to get backcountry even if it is for an overnight .
Glad to hear your list. I felt so bad for you when I saw why you tapped. Hopefully they will let some guys come back next season.
Best of luck to you Joe. It's great to see guys like you, Mitch, and Kullcraven on a TV Challenge. I've a lot of respect for all of you, and hope the place didn't beat you up too much. What a nasty place for a vacation! Al least we know you came out alive. I'll be watching.
caljim1950 thanks!
I like your approach "You keep true to yourself."
pete chan thanks, Pete!
So far seems like a great show, and thanks for doing this video...we all like the gear debates. I hope the folks who didn't win still got something for their time and putting themselves out there.
Hi Joe, congrats on getting on the show.. watched the first episode last night and really enjoyed it. Really felt for that dude surrounded by bears!
ray dollars thanks, ya he got screwed on that...
This is becoming one of my favorite shows! Thank you for sharing your items with us.
mlvlatina thanks!
I literally just started watching alone. Didn't know you were in it. That's amazing!
Just finished my first backpacking trip last weekend...thanks for the inspiration, can't wait to go on the next one.
Episode #3, hated to see you go! I have to say I love watching these types of shows but I could not have even tried what you guys attempted. I was hoping you would have found that fire steel, I was pulling for you. The over all theme I am gathering from this show is the importance of family to survive/thrive. Family seems to be the most important piece of gear. I love watching your videos keep them coming and keep your head up! I am sure you learned more from this experience than any other "perfect" camping trip which makes this experience a success!
Late to the video just realized alone is on hulu I know u tapped so I just went to season 2 jus cuz...but out of all the participants I know of u are the dopest to actually watch
I don't watch much television, and have not seen the Alone program yet. Just want to say that I appreciate that you share your experiences with the world through your videos. I have learned a great deal from them. Your genuine humility is refreshing in a subject that often seems to incubate so-called experts with veiled and unveiled false modesty. I am thankful to Survival Lilly for pointing me to your channel. I liked it the first time and continue to be a fan. Keep up the good work.
drewsboats Wow!, what an awesome comment!, thanks so much for saying that, it means a lot.
Started watching ALONE. Going to be a great series. Of all things to lose, your ferro rod. I could feel your pain. Can't wait to see what happens.
You have nothing to be upset about your so amazing and we all love you
Very kewl show! Can you say what clothing items, any other bags, etc. you were allowed to bring, yet?
Amazing opportunity of a lifetime!
Knowledge, skills (& some luck) are critical to surviving (&/or thriving) in a "lost while camping" situation.
I hope the show takes off!
People discussing problem-solving BEFORE something happens where they might be separated from others in the woods can save lives!
Knowledge not only allows people to survive in the woods, lowering or even eliminating fears, but also helps people really enjoy camping, etc. that might not otherwise.
GREAT stuff!
Glad I stumbled upon this show!
Looking forward to seeing more!
You take what you get and you get what you take. Having seen the list of what you could take you made the right choices based on what you know you can work with. Also known as using your noggin. Thank you for the informative video Joe, keep em coming.
Great job! I really appreciate your thoughts on the show and outdoor survival in general.
Enjoying the show mate. And as always your videos too. Take care.
Nice video i like hearing what the thought process was behind your items it really shows just how much care and attention you took in your choices. Those of us on the outside if we were to just look at a list of what you brought we would have a much different perception of you and your kit. Love the show and am looking forward to seeing how you do so far you seem to be pretty switched on and I'm sure you'll do great.
Mike Major Thanks, man.
Joe, some things just are not meant to be, but you came out better and stronger after the show. I just discovered the show and went back and watched your season. I like what Fowler said after winning season 3, he said every day of your life is an opportunity to accomplish something. There in lies the lesson we can all take away from the show. Take each day as it comes and push through. We will surprise ourselves with what we can achieve. (paraphrased of course)
Thanks for going through your 10 items very interesting on what you took and your thinking behind them. I would like to see the list of the 40 and I hope it gets released at some point. You chose stuff you knew very well to use. I have been in similar situations everything wet and everything but never with that much wild life about which could harm me, so major kudos for that. Great show and look forward to seeing the rest of the show. Well done for doing it
OMG So I dont watch TV and a friend told me I would really like this show Alone. I went back to the first season and . . . Hey I know that Guy . . .That's Joe!!! Haaaa Super Awesome Dude!!! ~ I know I'm late to the party as usual!! My family and I really love your videos!! Thanks so much we learned a lot over the years!!! :)
You Rock Joe. You just keep inspiring us and doing what you do bro......
hi man have too say that my eyes broke into a few tears when the fameus firerod went away, like your vids gretings from Denmark
Great show, and an even better YT channel. All the best.
