Let me know if you want more natural shelter videos
I love the natural shelter. I also love your winter videos. I have to tell you, I go to sleep listening to your videos. I can't go to sleep without background noise. But what ever your schedule will let you do would be cool.
I swear, everything tastes better when you cook food camping than at home
Joe brings no sleeping bag but a ton of beers....a true Canadian. :D
Jad Lteif bahaha I had not thought of it that way, but sooooo truuuueee
Yup, and no orange during hunting season. Doug could def teach Joe some lessons about being in the woods during deer hunting season. That little orange paracord around his arm won't cut it. Awesome vid though.
This is not a criticism, just a little construction tip about working with bowed lumber or timbers: always crown upwards or outwards. Nearly every timber or piece of lumber will have a bow in it. For horizontal pieces (such as ridge poles) you don't want the pole to sag in the middle--instead, crown it upwards so that the bowed part is higher than the ends. Gravity (and whatever you add to the pole) will tend to straighten the pole. Crowning it downward, as you have done, will result in a weaker pole, which will just sag even more, as time goes on. Hope that isn't too confusing.
do you mean have the thicker part of the branch lower and the thinner higher up, so that it tapers upward?
If you pole is naturally bent I.E. ( instead of I You want to lash it with the apex of the bend has the high point instead of the low point.
I think the axe thing is a good idea. One time as a kid I was camping with my scout troop ( I'm a male using my mom's account.) and we had built a super shelter and our scout leader had put his hatchet right next to yum. We asked him why and he said just in case you need you have right there and don't have to fish through your pack for it. And when some guy from the nearby public campsite outside the nearby small town, some guy attacked us with a knife and our leader grabbed his axe when the guy started yelling from a distance. We got out and he lunged at my friend. Then our leader, instead of looking for his axe when it was dark and our lamps and stuff were off, hit the guy on the head with the back of his axe. He was later arrested while still unconscious. So yeah, If it's silly who cares. Sometimes you need it.
i always stick mine into something like this, much easier to find when its standing vertical. also in sand stuff like that can get buried in 2 seconds by someone walking by.
A guy attacked a group of scouts with a knife? :o
Was he charged/jailed?

Quality will increase very soon, the video is almost done processing.
AHH only available in 1080 right now. My backwoods intranets cant handle that. Going to have to lay low until 360 is available.
Hey Joe i wanna ask what axe is good but a decent price, have any answers?
I have never camped once in my life, but I truly enjoy these videos -- your delivery, camera work, and explanation of what you are doing (and why!) is truly entertaining. Your joy from being outdoors is great and I feel like I learn something every time I watch. Thank you for the great videos!
If I were 30 years younger, I'd want Joe as a best friend. Imagine the adventures...
its all good family comes first
Glad everything and everyone is okay. Another great video Joe. Thanks
I just discovered your channel and it’s exactly what I needed. Time to binge watch
lol. "Got my don't shoot me orange paracord necklace on"
Peggy Arsenault he survived so he is lucky. I doubt the cord helped at all!! MEN!!
Another great video Joe from a old man that is a arm chair bushcrafter. Makes me feel like I was there!
Hey joe, i am a 73 year old female. I really enjoy your videos. So comforting. You are so decent and natural. God bless your little family.
Bummer this got cut short! Hope everything is okay. Nice to see your shelter endured the test of time.
I’m always so excited when I see a notification of your channel, I always wanted to go bushcrafting but I just don’t have the equipment. I live in the Netherlands and I think I’m gonna buy a buck bantam blw at black friday. I always liked fire, knives and the outdoors, my parents don’t think I need a knife so I made one out of wood to show how beautiful it is. My mom agrees now but my dad still doesn’t, I hope I can have knife. When I studied to become a vet, I’m going to emigrate to Sweden!! I also like Sweden at the age of 5 so I want to make my dreams come true. I have two brothers, one is allergic for animals, I love doges all when I even could think about dogs... my father is also allergic for animals and always says I need to get a dog when I live alone. Thats why I want to live in Sweden far from the Netherlands and far from all the dirty states. You may think why I wrote this, because I think of my future in Sweden inside you, you do and have what I also like to do or have.... If you read this thanks for reading.🙂🙂
I'm not surprised you have so many Australian subs, we're pretty similar!
As for the types of forest down here, for sure there is a lot of 'Outback' but we also have heaps of Tropical/Sub-Tropical Rainforest up in the north of Queensland, where i live on the east coast its primarily Eucalypt and Casaurina forest (try searching 'Watagans National Park, or Olney State Forest, New South Wales if you're interested), then down towards Victoria and Tasmania in the south of Australia again it's all super lush rainforest. So there's a lot of variety outside of the outback.
I'm loving the base camp type videos where you settle down for a couple of days doing bushcrafty stuff, My wife only watches when Scout is involved haha.
Keep up the awesome work, mate!
For sure, I'm from Vancouver area and felt totally at home camping around NSW and especially around Falls Creek Where I spent a winter.
Tasmanian here. We do have rain forest pockets. But my favourite areas are the High Lands. Rocky, grassy, scrubby... wet, freezing, and tons of lakes and huge gum trees. Kinda every type of terrain, except sandy deserts, but we do have very dry and arid bush land aswell. Each coastal area, n s e w, is different from the other and luscious and green and fertile. But I'm going to stop telling you now because the beauty down here is rare and wild and a state secret.
Don't forget the mountains and grasslands of the amazing and beautiful brumbies! It's my goal to visit y'all just to see them
AusLucas89 Thanks for taking the time to answer his questions. I also was curious about the terrain there.
Every time I watch you vids I want to camp
your the luckiest man alive joe to have such vast remote wilderness on your door step.i wish it was like that here in the uk.. please please keep the vids coming. :)
Ugh Same. I wish the UK had more (or if any) untouched wilderness to explore :(
Your question about Australia places - yes there is a lot of hot dry outback-style bush. But also highland temperate forests that can get snow, through to tropical jungle and rain forest. Lots of places you'd like.
South east Queensland here! Offers various terrain and is an absolute cracking part of Australia
Lots of Victoria and Tasmania is Joe-country, western NSW, SA, WA and NT are largely desert. QLD is everything from desert to temperate forest to tropical jungle. Don't dismiss desert camping though, best camps I've ever done are winter desert camps in the Flinders Ranges.
From NSW. Mosty mountains and forest around me becomes more arid and dry further west you go.
Australia doesn't really start getting desert until a couple hundred kilometres in, its mostly what we call bushland which is moderate to heavy density of large trees and a fair bit of knee/waist ground bushes with a decent amount of rock. I'd say this applies to a good portion of the country, especially the bottom half. Up north especially far north it can vary more from rain forests to sparse and scrub land and Western Australia is a world to it self.
These videos are so cool Joe, I always watch them when I draw
Never apologize for putting family first. Really enjoyed this vid
Keep it up joe.
Glad everything is good at home with family Joe! Thats what matters most. The woods will always be waiting for you to come back! Safe travels and adventures.
I love your 90's references... "I love it when a plan comes together..." - A-team one of my favorite shows!!
Great video Joe - hope all's well. If you want to show the progression of day-to-night a little more without going into full manual, just kick the camera into either aperture or shutter priority mode before the light starts to change, take the ISO out of auto and set it to whatever the camera had been using up to that point. Otherwise, the camera's just going to keep ramping up the ISO in order to hold onto exposure for as long as it can. Once it's dark, feel free to flip back into full auto.
Chris Prouse Ever head of making a leaf rake out of a there pronged forked limb ? Makes a good leaf rake!
Yes, more natural shelter videos please. Glad all is now well with you too.
I really love these bushcraft camping videos Joe, they remind me of similar adventures with a dear friend that I no longer live near.
I have not had much success in any of the wool blanket wraps, I move too much at night. What has worked well for me is sewing my wool blanket into a sleep sack; last time we camped I has a cold and miserable night so the next morning I used my Speedy Stitcher to sew the blanket into a sleep sack. This works really well with a MSS Goretex bivy sack, a lean-to tarp setup and a long fire
I think the drink he was trying to say at 59 mins was Bundaberg as it is a type of liquor (I'm from Australia so that's how I know) Also no, there is not just desert outback, there is plenty of different types of terrain including lush green and cold
I personally hate Bundy, though it was a go to for my underage self. Such a bogan drink hahahah
Another great vid! Mate Australia has some of the most diverse landscapes in the world, desert to rain forest and snow in the highland eucalypt forests. You'd love it
amazing that joe can hike into a featureless area and still find his old camp.
All good bro. Glad everyone is fine.. You rock!!
Joe, Doug, and Shawn are like the 3 types of attributes I look for in a friend. Hyper/Excited like Joe, loyal and Willing like Doug, and Quietly intelligent and philosophical/empathetic like Shawn. And you can't forget Sarcastic and funny like all 3.
I have yet to find a good friend like that.
I agree! I think that's why I'm stuck on CZcams, none of my real friends like what I'm into. I'm stuck doing it alone, or forcing my kids to at least try it.
I Have been a long term Sub of all 3 and will tell you what I told them, I Sub to very few Chs. When I do it's always for the same 2 reasons. 1. 30% Content and 2. 70% Personality. For you to make the observations in them as you discribe, you have to share in the same attributes. Warm Regards from Oregon friend, .... Mike.
I was just thinking along a similar line BB. They all seem likable and sincere in different ways. Cheers
Yay another solo shelter vid these vids are my favourite
That was fun Joe - glad everything is fine at home - cheers!
I Love watching survival shows...besides survivor man...you are definitely one of my favorites to watch..thanks Joe
Your continuity is first class, especially without a DOP and professional editor. I look forward to more vids.
Oh, love your bush craft :)
Stu from Down Under.
Oh that Veggie Tails song... LOL!! Great video, Joe
Love your videos Joe. Great to chill out and see someone experiencing nature when I'm stuck in the city. Hope everything was fine with your family.
Hi Joe, another Aussie fan! I see a lot of comments regarding Australian bushcrafting experts and they are indeed experts! Its so hot and dry in a lot of the area's these great men film in (although still fairly wooded) that it takes a survival expert to thrive out here. Our Aboriginal peoples are like none other in the world when it comes to survival in harsh environments. Massive calling for you down here mate, would love to see you down under someday in the future! Cheers
Hope whatever cut your camp short is ok! Can't wait for the next one!
Nice one Joe, as always! Shame you had to cut it short, but hey, things crop up! At least you got your eggs and bacon - why you had to ruin those eggs by flipping them is beyond me though!! Hope everything was okay at home. Cheers, Simon.
Lol, I too like sunnyside up, but I'm going to have to agree with Joe. Over easy is the way to go.
Happy everything worked out OK. Thanks for the video.
Love the nod to Dick Proenneke, big respect to one of the original outdoor filmographers... not many of us can pull off what he did back then, the time, the patience and the self-reliance, is very rare these days....
Love how you pronounced "outback" Haha. Unfortunately our West Australian landscape is mostly that typical hot, dusty, barren sort of bush, and bushcraft and survival is somewhat difficult but a good challenge. I reckon you were sent some Bundaberg Rum or "Bundy" which I'm sure you'll find an interesting drop. Another great vid mate, cheers
Please more natural shelters !!!
Kool Camp, I Like it! You are SO Lucky to be able to get away and enjoy the outdoors like this!
Family is what is important! Thanks man for your effort in making your vids, i really do like watching them!!!
Liked that comment Joe about not lying. Keep it honest and your life will be harder, but you'll sleep better at nights. Just a little bit of old age wisdom that'll come in handy for you. Love your vid's, and keep up the good health.
We love you Joe, no worries! Family always comes first!! Hope all was well
That shelter is bad ass, glad it’s still standing. Just started watching this channel a couple of weeks ago and I am addicted.
Australia has just about everything, rainforest to desert, snow to tropical forest, lots of mountains and lots of plains. It's a big place. There is a massive desert, 30% or so is habitable from memory. Tasmania in winter would probably suit you well, or the east coast in winter. Just don't go anywhere in summer. Unless there's a swimming hole. Even then, best to go in or around winter.
Snow in Australia?... I don't know where you live but the only place it snows that i know of is in the mountains
@@Moosemanmoses I live in Victoria... only time I've seen snow was up in rhe mountains
Jaydyn COLLINS-STEET Camping in the snow would honestly seem like a rare thing in Australia... Australia seems more of a really hot climate weather camping, dessert camping for people in the middle of aus would be some interesting videos... having to survive with minimal trees, getting water from cactus maybe? Although i imagine it would be a lot more dangerous with snakes and such in the dessert
@@Mysticfateee You say you live in Victoria but Australia is more a hot weather camping country? It gets down to 0 degrees Celsius in Winter in parts of New South Wales some nights and you live a shit tonne further away from the Equator than we do. But sure, be a bigger wanker and talk about shit you clearly don't know. I bet you're from Melbourne, place is full of hipster wankers that deserve to be punched in the throat to shut them up.
Hey Joe!
I'm one of the many Aussie subscribers here on your channel. Here in Australia there are heaps of different forest types and bush areas, not just desert environment. Here where I live in Victoria we have some of the best camping up in the Vic High Country! Defiantly worth putting on your todo list!
Cheers,
Jarvis
+1 for VIC the high country. Joe I'll be doing a 50 day hike along the Australian Alps, and you've inspired me to take a camera. Subscribe, vids up 2018.
Thank you Joe, for another video.
Thanks Joe. Interesting, intertaining, and informative. Glad your family is ok.
Nice video man, great to see that shelter again!
I stumbled across Your channel and I am hooked .....good stuff Man, gooood stuff.
I agree on the waking up to the cold. You can lay in your bag and do nothing, or you can get up, move around warm up, and get stuff done. Also, if you prep your morning starter wood the night before and stash it away, you can start the fire right away. BTW, that bacon looked delightful.
Love your videos Joe glad everyone is ok keep up the good work!
You need to try out a siberian big log fire for warmth!
Australia has many different climates: desert (mainly central Australia), rainforest/tropical (northern Australia and also Tasmania), some areas in South Australia can even receive snow during winter.
it is a beautiful place to live and the wildlife is diverse.
Amazing video! I love observing earth, explore and calm down...
Family always first Joe. Hope all is well with you and yours take care. As always great vid. Prayers sent your way
Looked fun brother!
Hi Joe. Another great vid, keep up the good work. And yes I'm another Australian and I live a tropical area. I think most Australian love the bush and camping so we are drawn to channels like yours. Sorry you had to abandon the camp but family always come first. look forward to the next vid.
Joe you are just so original and normal just like the guys going camping just great
yep I,m a aussie girl love all your ideas helps me out when I go out camping thank you
joe i think you make great videos keep up the good work!
These videos are calming
That's great you watch Ray Mears. I enjoy the outdoors and watched him a lot when I was growing up. In the UK we don't have the same opportunities to be outdoors like you do in North America, so him then and you now provides a nice bit of escapism. Thanks for these.
At 52 mins joe starts singing the veggietales theme song.
This is 'Classic Joe" and I have it on my replay list. Just rewatched it and enjoyed it as much as when it first came out!
Glad to see everything worked out Joe. Enjoyed the video.
It was the video you referenced that brought me to your channel. I've been binge watching daily ever since. Joe, your content is SPECTACULAR! That said, I have an idea...
Think dried meat... jerky... derived of the meat of the gods, bacon (flavor).
Call it, Joe's Danger Bacon.
If you're facing a post apocalyptic tick invasion, make sure you pack some Danger Bacon!
This must be a thing... is simply must.
I'm now addicted. Keep them coming. I'd love to go with you. Learning a lot. Gonna try to get the wife to buy in but I'm not sure.
Brilliant vid man! Nothing beats sleeping outdoors! - keep the vids coming!
You are one of my favorite people to watch on here Joe. Keep up the great work northern brother from a southern brother.
Lol has to be Bundaberg rum mate.. has to be!
Canadian Tire is The BEST!
Hey Joe, glad everything is okay with the family situation, can't wait to see your next trip back at this spot
I hope all is well at home! will stay tuned for more videos.. it's all good.
Can you please do an intro saying something in the lines of: "Welcome to the Joe Show" ? I would be so amused lol c:
Jo, do you ever consider using a roll of aluminum foil as a fire protector and reflector saver? As well as stapling it to the inside of your shelter roof? You can get 15 rolls of it at dollar stores at the same cost of a space blanket and it would cover more area.
Glad everything turned out good. Family first!!!
I love the natural shelter videos please make more!
Im anAustralian subscriber and some parts of Australia are desert like the middle of Australia and along the coast is tropical and iether queensland od victoris have big open forest
This video should be named "no gloves Joe"
ahahah I enjoyed it!
Randomly stumbled onto this and I'm glad I did I love stuff like this
Glad everything is good now joe! Family first
Joe please be careful when you're bleeding. You don't want to spread that around your shelter. Sharks can smell blood from miles away.
Love it
Street Sharks!
Lol
Or a bear like in that movie with Anthony hopkins the edge
Robert Holmes lol actually dieing 😂😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥
