Hope you guys enjoy this one! another camp coming soon, hopefully with Scooter :)

The intro with the “thanks for clicking on the video” is perfect. I don’t hear any other KZfaqr say that.

I would have chosen a 4 pack of beer and really struggled.

When you go far into the forest, when your phone is silent, it does not catch the signal, and the sleeping bag on the foam replaces your favorite bed! When your dinner is boiling in a black pot on a hot fire, and all your clothes are soaked through with smoke. You forget about all your problems, they simply do not exist, there is you and the silence of the forest! The silence from which is muffling. Your senses sharpen as you hear the wind, the rustle of grass, and leaves. The creaking of the trunks. At this moment, you feel that you are alive, you are alive now, you listen to your breath, your heart, Nothing can replace these feelings. You are cleansed of all that weighed on you yesterday. Just you and nature. And you're on your own. You're alive now, and that's all that matters. For this we go to the forest. To experience it, over and over again. Those who have experienced it will understand. Those who have not experienced it, still have everything ahead of them. Thank you for giving me this feeling. Thank you for making such content that attracts people to put on a backpack and go to wander along the forest path, your work makes people really happy. 👍

When you watch how robinet so much you start rewatching old videos. Just because it’s awesome content!

scout update at 58:25

I dont care what anyone says, your intro is by far the most television like and you never fail to entertain for hours on end. Keep up the good work Joe

Whenever i cannot sleep , i watch old episodes of solo bushcraft camping. I love the fire starting part. Makes me sleep instantly 😂

Amazing how this guy can just talk to us like we’re there! That’s a skill to appreciate

Lol all the watchers are either stoned or in bed wtf

Thank you for keeping the footage of the fire-lighting attempts. That slow and brutal footage is way more important to see/learn than any other lessons in survival videos.

I love that you explain what you are doing unlike a lot of other bushcraft channels. You also include your mistakes. For the longest time I thought I was bad at bush craft bc I would always mess up when I was building a shelter but the only reason I thought I wasn’t good it bc I saw these guys making shelters on youtube and never messing up mostly bc they edited everything out.

You were approaching 1 million subscribers when you made this. I'm watching it 4 years later and you have 1.55 million. Way to go.

Me thinking: "he makes it look so easy I bet I could do that" Also me: *gets winded from running to the fridge*

I like the ‘pulled a Joe’ incidents...makes me feel better, since I have a massive list of bonehead moves of my own...like the time a spark popped out of my fire and landed on my topo map...or the time I set my fire starting kit on the car roof to adjust the pack job in the trunk and drove off without putting it in...or the time my friend and I misread the map on the north rim of the Grand Canyon and committed to a trail that was 10 times longer than we thought because we somehow missed the decimal...the list goes on. Thanks for being you, Joe!

I love that you show realistic situations like this & not just videos where it all goes perfectly👍

I wanted to tell you you have blessed three little adopted boys with your bush craft knowledge , they lost everything in the tornados that hit Kentucky on Dec 10/11th , their mom asked if we could receive their packages for them, we did , and opened them up so my wife and I could wrap them for the boys, they are really in to bushcraft apparently, and because of you and other creators I have more gear than I need, those young men will be blessed with my exes gear, I, would just like you to know, your channel is more important and reaches far more people than you’ll ever know, thank you joe

Off the Ranch has an entirely different vibe than Joe Robinet. It is what makes your channel irresistible for such a wide variety of subscribers. I so hope you never lose your simple, honest, down to earth, sometimes quiet and kind-hearted style of video creating. Just my 2 cents. No one like you and your sweet family, Joe.

The JRO hat/flask combo. Please god make it in green like your logo, sew a patch on the hat and small sticker on the flask. Sell to me. Bam son.

I like how raw and real this camp build was. He shows it doesn't just go up without challenge. I'm sorry to hear about your dog. I just lost a pup after 15vrs.

I am impressed with your ability to laugh at yourself when things don't go exactly right! You are the best.

Every time i watch someone bushcraft making fire is the favorite part for me. Any animal can make a shelter, but fire is what separates man from savages.

Joe have you made a video with a "get home bag" theme? Maybe like if you had a break down on the quad and had to walk home over a few days? Just get someone to drop you off and you "survive" over a few days on your trip home. Kind of a throwback to Les Stroud.

When I was younger we used to go up near loch Lomond to camp on nights that we knew there was going to be snow and waking up in the morning to see loch Lomond when it had been snowing all night was a sight to behold!! love your videos, keep it up 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

this is probably the most realistic bushcraft video i have seen. Most things take several attempts and it can be a shit show. Thanks Joe!

joe idk if you've made a video of the likes before, but I think you should consider making a comprehensive video on how you identify trees, I'd love to learn how you can tell so quickly.

Dude I honestly get so hype when you post. Like, everything is cancelled once I see your video whether it be a 15 minute upload or 1.5 hours 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

What is so charming== and makes my amateur efforts feel worth a go- is how Joe lets you see his effort/fails on the way to success, whether lighting the fire, making the tripod, dropping the tea. That's how it is always when I am out.

I had no idea that bushcraft was so big on media until finding Corporal’s Corner a coupla years ago and he suggested you, so now I have another favorite bush crafter to follow! Thanks for all y’all do… I have been a woodsman my whole life, but you guys have taught me so much more than I ever woulda figured out on my own!

I love how he interacts with us. It shows how much he loves and cares for his fanbase. "Chears guys" and "I'll see you guys in the morning. Goodnight guys" the small things is amazing

Most under rated KZfaqr, This channel is so relaxing to watch before bed. I'm in Hawaii, This looks so fun.

This man has more energy before the sun comes up then I do all day.

Years later and I'm watching this again. Lol. I love all of your content, Joe. It's been awesome watching you and your family grow over the years. I know I don't miss him as much as you, but Scout was a great dog. Wolfie is doing great though. And I know he'll be even better as he gets older. Much love bro!

That’s hilarious that everyone is talking about getting blazed and watching this before bed.....Guilty👌

My favorite part. "lesson learned , not all rocks created equal" *throws it away "silly rocks" 😂👍

You are so “real” having all the problems we all have. I love it.

It's wonderful to be with you again. Winter bushcraft is one of my favorites. Even though we live in a more congested area than you (Aspen/Marble, Colorado) there are still areas that are free of arrogant, rude, people glamping on top of you. To prove that point, my daughter went, semi-rough camping with her 5 kids plus one, with nothing more than sleeping bags and a believe a tarp. We always go to the free camping as we've always referred to it. It just means, find a beautiful spot with a great view of the peaks and stay back a ways from the creek or any water supply. They left at midnight Friday (3rd) and aren't back yet (6th, Labor Day). I raised all three of my children and the older grandchildren how to take care of yourself in the woods. My daughter took to it more than the 2 boys. All the grandkids love it also. Our family has not visited a paid campground since we took our in-laws from Los Angeles. They sent instructions that they'd require a shower, a tent large enough to separate the girls from the boys with a tent with 2 vestibule and two sleeping ares. Nice clean grills for cooking, oh, and flush toilets stocked with only Charmin T.P. You get the picture. I went to J.C. Penny's and bought a 20' x 10' canvas wall tent. I slept outside on the ground. Sorry for always bringing the conversation around to my experiences but you're always doing what I've done at some time in my 75 years. But, Joe, that's what you do, you stimulate my great memories and then take me (as I've said, I'm an invalid since 2014) with you on these great trips. I appreciate that soooooooo much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Tom Shields, P.S. I have one story that I half to share. (I'm sorry) I'm camping on one of the only flat spots between the switch backs in that are on this huge flat topped mountain (10,800') So even though I'm occupying this select flat area, there are maybe 50 or more places to camp. I'm by myself and I have my nice evening fire going and a 300 foot motor pulls in and puts the levelers down and then I hear the football game going on inside. (The Los Angeles Rams and and some eastern team) They have it loud and they are all yelling at the T.V. Well I got out my AR-15 and shot everyone. No, I would never, ever do that. I broke camp and moved to the next flat area further up the mountain. But I lost my water source. By the way, California plates on that big boy. Did I tell you that it was 700 feet long. G'day mate

Kids are begging to go camping this weekend after watching this.

I'm a Grandma, and I love your videos! Inspires me to get back out there. I watch whenever I can and my 4 and 6 yr old grandsons sometimes watch with me. I take them out to the woods in the warm weather. Thanks Joe, and your beautiful wife and family. Hope the Scout Man is doing okay.

Probably the most realistic vid I've ever seen Joe make. The survival struggle is real. And the Lagavulin is necessary. Nice one!

Just watched your Elmer Fud, rabbit camp. Been a fan for along time. Thanks Joe, stay outside. Sorry to later hear about Scout. My best friend Dage is gone now. We hiked, camped, and fly fished all over these NC mountains. Dogs don’t live long but they make up for it because they live life daily. They don’t care about yesterday or tomorrow. Just livin in the moment. We have a lot to learn from them.

I love watching these kind of videos right before going to bed. It just makes it so much better to lay in a cold room under your warm blanket

I play these videos for the kids during nap time, they're either learning how to survive or out like a light lol!

Why does this video get 4.5 thousand thumbs down? What were people expecting? A lady Gaga video or something. I mean, why come to this video if you don't want to see what is clearly stated in the topic of the video. I found it amazing. 2 weeks ago, we had record cold blast here in Texas and half the state was in a deep freeze and 45% of the state was without electricity and water. I live in Central Texas, Killeen, and it got down to -2. I was fortunate and didn't lose any power or water, but I thought that was brutal. Of course, last summer, we had over 100 days of over 100 degree temperatures. It's brutally hot here, but I take the heat better than he cold. I couldn't imagine surviving in this bitter cold.

Another awesome video. I sprayed my cheap Spyder gloves with Scotchgard so they don't get as soaking wet when I am at my bug out camp in snowy Vermont. It's same thing you can treat your shoes with to keep them clean and water resistant. It worked wonders. No issues with cold wet gloves anymore.

I know I'm a little late here but unfortunately Lymphoma is a GSD and Golden Retriever plague. 😥 Been through it with both, and unfortunately neither of my girls were able to beat it, but I have heard of many who did for months, even additional years. Sending all the best healing wishes for your boy.

So much to learn! I am so glad you include your "failures" in your videos. It is refreshing to see someone videoing and keeping it real. 30000 to a million! I keep praying that you get there with Scout still able to celebrate with you and your family on that accomplishment!

Fun... Almost like a blooper reel. LOL! A few thoughts: 1. Always boil the remains of the carcass for extra nutrition. 2. You would have been better off keeping the fire going all night... the bone broth at the ready to help keep you hydrated and nourished, the fire to keep you warm, abd to help keep any wildlife at bay. 3. Alcohol makes you FEEL warmer and more relaxed, but dilates your blood vessels, causing you to lose body heat faster, and impairing judgment, which makes it a danger in a survival situation. Cheers. brother. SEMPER FI -Caprice Fowler, EMT- PS- So sorry about Scout and Tripper. I feel your heartbreak, brother.

Look at this video that KZfaq let me know I didn’t finish watching from two years ago. Right when he started talking about Scout. All dogs go to heaven.

Hope Scout is chillaxin and resting well!!

So close 1 mill. I’m so hyped. Your channel has come a long way. Have a nice day everyone

This is possibly my favourite Joe video…I just find it so chill. I come back to this one quite often

I never thought I would enjoy hours of this but I’m addicted too!good work joe,love when u cook also!

Minimalism, self-sufficiency, and respect for nature are some of the things i would like to see more of in the world. Thanks for sharing with us Joe.

Joe, you bring the sensation of being outdoors inside my home. Thank you for letting your journey in each video fill me with happiness and joy

The forest beckons us, fills our thoughts. You can't stay at home anymore! You literally rip your jacket and backpack off the rack. You go on a journey where there are no people, and nature is especially beautiful. The smell of last year's wet needles and leaves is carried by warm air, which permeates you with a strong stream. You cannot get enough of it. The forest accepts us as we are. We are his guests, not his hosts. And we are grateful to him. How can it be boring for someone in this world to look at a drawing of veins on a green leaf for several hours?

When you melt now, you should keep it loose. Melt a little bit at a time so that the water can soak through the pores of the snow. It's a hundred times faster.

I wish there was a Netflix show for this like I'm actually so addicted

Joe, a little trick I learned with the Ferro rod, I'll take the back of my knife and will carefully (very slowly) scrape off a little pile of magnesium (or what ever it's made of) then place that in my tinder bundle. Once you strike your Ferro rod a time or two, it finds that pile and instantly catches everything in fire. When it burns, It kind of looks like you just lit a little pile of gun powder on fire. Try it sometime and let me know what you think about it. One thing to remember though, rotate your rod as you're scraping it, so you don't wear down an uneven spot on your rod. Hope it helps buddy!

I'm so ready for cool camping weather. It's getting cooler at nights finally.

The fact you have fun is what counts and makes it enjoyable.❤

“Came through drippin Snow on my face and my feet are kickin” these are the words of a true man

This was my very first Joe video from 5 years ago! The very first time I watched one of his videos I was hooked on my weekly cup of Joe!

The outdoors life is not for the weak. I love it here

Damn these videos are calming to watch at like 3 am 😂 wish i had someone to do this stuff with

Rest In Peace Scout, you are loved and will always be missed dearly

Iv been subscribed for so long. It's gives me good nostalgia to come back and see old videos. I hope you can find the same bit of happiness with what you have accomplished.

Most definitely the most entertaining bush craft show I have watched. I laughed at his silliness.

It's inspiring to see your patient attitude toward Nature, Joe. You take everything in your stride, whether easily acquired, or the type of task which provides that greater challenge. It pays testament to both your respect for the elements, plus your gentle presence upon the land. I live in the UK and rarely see such extreme weather conditions, let alone sleep out in it. One fascinating aspect is your creativity when faced with seemingly few items for survival. Keep 'em comin', Joe. Great videos. Hugs to Scout. Got huge respect for you, Joe. May the wind be behind you in your efforts.

Hello everyone, i hope you all will have a great day and remember to stay positive. Love to all of you you're awesome!

I like that you include the failed attempts and not just the successful ones.

1. What I learned is that even the most simplistic & lightest of tents is better than leaves on top of branches, 2. What I learned is that a 6'x3' fabric for ground cover is better than your jacket over a bunch of layered leave, 3. What I learned is that you need at least one backup system to starting a fire: Ffirestarter, matches, lighter etc, 4. Extra clothes 5. Bring extra clothes :)

lol im in high school and instead of partying/hanging out with friends im enjoying some good ol' bushcraft :D

Welcome to my world Joe. Watching you trying to start the fire and build the tripod and spilling the water was a glimpse of my life. LOL Good to see it happens to a pro like you as well.

Looking like a rookie there Joe! Several options for tripod starting with forked poles or even forked sticks to put in the ground to suspend rabbit across the fire. Could also lean pole against a tree and place firepole across it. Do this to both sides of the pole. Even with all the mistakes, the video is still interesting because it shows that even with experienced campers things can still go wrong. Keep up the great work. Two large garbage bags would have served you well as ground cover/keeping in body heat.

Knowing how important it is to research the R-rating insulation properties of a sleeping mat in order to prevent chill from the ground I'm amazed that you manage with such a simple approach !

Vet Ranch is good people!

I will be praying for scout love the content

I really like the forehead perspective on limbing! More of that please. It helps activate body memory, and enhances learning, too. That virtual experience of participating. Thanks!

I admire people who knows how to handle camping or hiking in the wilderness and using the natural resources to survive. By watching also, you also learn what they do. Most of it is just using common sense....

You convinced me, I will camp in summer only.

Dude, I would watch you take scout camping in a pillow fort in your Living room. Do not worry about content for a little while, just play with your dog.

Watching this guy appropriate his necessities in the wilderness makes me appreciate being born in a time where we already have a developed civilization of modern housing and infrastructure

Another pro tip: keep your loose clothing inside your sleeping bag. Wet socks etc put them under your arm pits etc. they will dry up during the night. Also always wear a wool balaclava. Most of your heat is lost via your neck and head.

My man Joe is living on the edge, and I LOVE IT. BA BA BA BAM SON. I really do hope that Scout is pain free. He's a warrior and 5 years ago he would have cleared the branches and trees for your camp site. I hope you know that life is limited and Scout is living the good life as are you and your family. You've earned it. ATB to you and your family.

*Its not that cold right now, its only -2 degrees.* okay joe

This is real camping. Without all the broken down technology

You've definitely come a long way. Last time I watched, you were just getting into canoeing Algonquin lol. Well done!!

Can I just say. Good work on starting that fire. It was enjoyable seeing you struggle at first because it was a true representation of fire starting under these conditions. If youd have lit it with a few strikes it would look suspicious.

ya know what Joe... I feel like I could survive if I ever ended up out in the woods just from the stuff I've watched you do. Thanks man :)

Real honest bush camping, with all the mistakes and problems. You had me at boinggggg.

I am so impressed with your demeanor and approach to bushcrafting. Thank you for another terrific vid!

I want to get to a point where I can chop off a piece of a tree and be like “oh yea that’s a cedar”

Thank you for translating Celsius to Fahrenheit

I agree with Les Stroud regarding eating snow. So long as it's not near the evening, and you'll be working (warming yourself up), there shouldn't be too much of a problem with eating snow when that's all you immediately have available. But definitely not toward the evening, or if you don't plan on doing much work afterward, otherwise your internal temperature my end up cooling down too much.

Nothing wrong with being a touch weird, Joe. Enjoyable channel, thx for sharing your skills and enjoyment of the natural world

Great video Joe. That rabbit looked delicious! When you were trying to pull that chunk of rabbit and grabbed the axe. If you were wearing your hat and started singing " kill da wabbit kill da wabbit" I would have died. That 1000000 is just around the corner man and you deserve it. I remember when you had 15000 subs. 1 million is just the beginning bro. #nopooplogsbro

Joe you totally have to go to Texas and hang out with Matt from Off the ranch/demo/vet, yours and his channels are my fav on the Tube here. Great ep here Joe!

The smaller the backpack, the more it teaches one about prioritizing. Somewhat longer items are of course no problem if placed with the heavier end downward, and one uses something to tie the zippers together around the protruding item. Maxpedition Condor 2 seems to be a 23 liter bag.

After a heavy snow build up the bows create a space under the tree that has no snow. Sometimes fairly deep. It makes a great place shielded from the wind.
