I Spent my 34th Birthday Alone on an Island in the Canadian Wilderness. Last Ep 10 Days 10 Items 

This is the last video in the series. I hope you all enjoyed it, I sure did!

I like how there is no music edited in, it makes everything so calm.

As a 71 year old woman, I would love to do what you have just done. Only with my husband....I felt like I was there with you every day. I felt your hunger, your cold, your exhaustion and your loneliness at times, I think. You are a very skilled young man. Like my husband who I have tremendous respect for in all of our outings. I felt when you were totally exhausted, you needed more fat and carbs. You were working very hard collecting all your firewood and building your shelter. Just loved this whole series. I hope you do this again soon. I absolutely loved the wilderness in every aspect. You probably won’t read this but if you do, have a wonderful life with your family.

Dude, this series has been the coolest thing I've ever watched on RU-vid, you gotta do an extended expedition like this at least once a year or something, give us all something to REALLY look forward to. Either way, you win RU-vid in my opinion! Thank you for the adventure. -Caleb from NW Georgia 💯👍

As I watched this, Joe, it occurred to me that many Hollywood films are the same length as this video, but not nearly as good. I was totally absorbed by this video, and found it as therapeutic as I always find your videos. Hollywood movies, by contrast, usually piss me off because of one thing or another. Also, regarding your birthday...I am twenty years your senior almost to the day, and am here to tell you that my life only got better as I got older, as it continues to do. The loss of youth is counterbalanced by peace of mind, wisdom and self-assurance.

Watching these all over again in 2020, as we're all on lockdown this Is the only place I'd wan to be 💯 RIP Scout, miss ya buddy 💖

Binge watched this whole thing in 2 days

I've just watched the whole series in one go. It's now 2.36am in the UK (Wales). Thank you so much for showing me the wilderness of Canada. You are blessed. A few lines that will stay with me. "Clouds in the water" "Paddling in a dream" "Heart Daddy" "Good morning beautiful" On we go Joe.... on we go.

Joe, I'm not sure if you will ever read this, but I wanted to tell you what a beautiful soul you are. Inside and out. Your amazingly positive attitude in bad situations are incredible and truly inspiring. Thanks for this series. I'm sure you have touched many people with your message. 🌳❤️🌳❤️🤗🤗

Awesome conclusion buddy!

For next time--You could use the bones and head to make a rich fish stock to boost your nourishment and then don't boil the life out of the meat fillets. Then cook your rice and veggies in some of the stock, put the poached fish back into the rice after it's cooked. Drink more water and be sure you have enough salt with you to make up for what you sweat out of your pores. You've been starving yourself. This is selfish on my part--I want you to live to make many more good videos like this series. God bless and keep you in His care always.

2 things. First, it’s been said before but I’ll say again. Living vicariously through your experiences is therapeutic. Thank you. Your videos are excellent, and demonstrate a love and respect for our wilderness that I’ll use to teach my young boys. Second, every time I watched you use that lemon, and not shave some of the peel into hot oil and then do your cooking... I cried a little. Missed opportunity. The most lemon flavour is in the rind, and fat carries it soooo well. Pro tip... if your hard up for ingredients, take every opportunity to build flavour. Use that zest! You’re a champion among men otherwise. Thanks again. ;)

Anyone else laugh when he sang happy birthday to himself?. Great stuff Joe. Well done.

absolutely loved this series. i would like to see you do another 10 day series where you leave Canada and go somewhere with a completely different bio

October 28, 2021, two days before MY birthday! What an awesome series Joe. I'm so impressed with your skills, and determination, but also your zen vibe when things change. You're very thoughtful, and I'm glad you are keeping that journal. When you're old like me, you'll love going thru and reading all about your adventures. I love your channel, and what you teach us. Thank you so much for taking us on this adventure!!

Joe Robinet.....The Dad....The Husband....The Bushman....THE YT LEGEND....🔥👍💪🙌

i just quit smoking weed after about 20 years of smoking multiples times a day . and i just want to say this this whole series really helped me getting thru my day , thank you so much ,its really entertaining ill be watching another whole series tomorrow ! cheers !

I wish I could subscribe twice, exactly what I want from a bush craft series. I watched every minute of it. Be sure to "stay You" Joe, great host, videographer, engineer, teacher and rarest of all completely down to earth and grounded. I wish the best to you and your family. And look forward to closely following you well documented and amazing adventures. Again outstanding series. I hate to see you so fatigued but understand its part and parcel with these specific outings. This may well be the only serious RU-vid comment i've ever written. I will seriously recommend your work to others. Well done sir, you've made my week.

Next time you go on a fishing trip can you make a ground oven to cook the fish? where you dig a hole, put in hot coals / stones, then your fish, more coals and then dirt, then you can go collect wood / explore and when you come back dinner will be ready.

Thanks Joe, I loved this series because you was alone and pretty much self sufficient. Your fishing is on point these days and it was great to see you release the ones that you didn't need. So many good things to say that it makes me lost for words. Thanks for sharing your birthday with us and I hope you got a nice slice of Bday cake when you got home. Loves to you and fam.

Re-watched July 2024 and it's still a fantastic series. I hope you remember that your 34th Birthday was an amazing experience, thankyou for being the adventurous soul that brings the wilderness to life for us 😊.

You really deserve to be the first "Bushcrafter" to get 1,000,000 subscribers.

"Tarp water" made me laugh out loud. Great series!

Hi Joe! It's June 2023. I just finished watching this series. I enjoyed every last bit. Thanks for taking us along on your grand adventure!!!!

Joe - the last day, your birthday and the weather, the amazing glass of the lake and stillness. This was no coincident. This was the wilderness thanking you for being there and respecting it. You deserved this last amazing day.

I advise you to keep all the fish you catch when you're out this long. Smoke it so you can make soups or eat them after reheating by the fire. This way you won't get hungry. Great episode btw.

Duuuuuuude totally should have eaten that lard. It's absolutely healthy for you. It would have given you sooo much energy.

Scout been walking against the newly painted walls😂

Loved the trip joe, thanks for taking us along sir. Bam son!

Thanks Joe, I enjoyed your adventure and allowing me to come along with you. Take Care !!

Loved the series. Loved the pace of the series and the size of the videos. You continue to be the best of the best.

Just finished!! LOVE IT! The whole series was like watching a great movie. Adventures like this need to be long and informational videos like gear/knots, etc... can be short. Cant wait to see the next mini-series!

I have just watched this 10 days series over the last few day and it has been a fantastic watch! Thank you for taking the time to make these fantastic videos.

Thank you for filming these trips joe, not just thanks for sharing them, but putting your body and mind through these trips. *thank you*

Hello Joe, thank you for sharing these six awesome episodes. Produced, directed and starring the one and only Joe Robinet. Take care and be safe. Love your family Joe.

Joe, your videos are relaxing and educational. I will say that on this trip I suspect you're right, and were not getting anywhere near enough fat or electrolytes. Your exhaustion had me concerned at times with you canoeing on those windy days. Easy tricks for the future are Himalayan pink salt (for electrolytes) in the seasoning (not sure what salt was in yours), and cooking with more lard (or other hiking friendly fat like smoked cheese, or ghee). Thank you for sharing your trip and birthday with us. :)

Happy birthday joe! For the first time in a while you manage to upload while I was awake. Here have some cookies!

I hate wearing gloves too, but you have to take care of your hands. Next time you should try taking a few more herbs and spices. Mustard (powder) is good for burns, basil and thyme are antimicrobial, fennel seed is good for digestion, rosemary and chilies are great for congestion and colds and excessive amounts of black pepper can help headaches. Dried or fresh chilies are also great topical pain relievers (just avoid using them near more sensitive areas). Personally, I prefer a small jar of tiger balm if possible. Honey is also antimicrobial, great for burns and an excellent binder for making poultices. You can add more flavor to your food as well as having a decent light weight medicine pack. If you can find wild mint or wintergreen, rubbing the oils on your skin is great as a bug repellent and for itch relief. They are also drying oils that can help clear up poisons like ivy, sumac, oak and hemlock. To use any of these is pretty simple. If the ailment is internal, make some tea or add it to your food. (Tea acts quicker). If the ailment is external, apply directly and cover only if you are going to be moving around a lot. Fresh onion or shallot bulb juice is also good for burns. Fresh Garlic is good for cuts and blisters. Fresh ginseng root is great for headaches, exhaustion and stomach problems, but is a bit trickier to find. Thyme and fresh oregano are more or less cure-all's and can be added to any application. Fresh sage thrown on the fire can do wonders for insect suppression and can be added to teas for energy and colds. Fresh evergreen needles, particularly pines, are good for colds as well. When I worked as a chef, knowing what herbs and spices can be used to quickly treat an injury has helped me recover in record time more times that I could probably remember. I also use this all the time when I'm out fishing or hiking. Spice jars are smaller and lighter than a med kit and each item is more versatile. Since I grow most of this myself it's also free for me, as well. That doesn't mean I don't also have an Israeli bandage, adhesive bandages and a few alcohol pads just in case, but the amount I have on me fits into the box my wallet came in.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOE!!! May you have many, many, more. I know it's two years ago, but the sentiment is still fresh.

A whole hour and a half! Awesome!

Hi Joe, I'm a new subscriber, I have watched and enjoyed this entire series... I look forward to watching previous and future episodes... Thank you very much

28:40 - You capture every moment of your journeys so perfectly, I feel like I'm there with you when I watch your videos. You're the man Joe!

It has been an adventure in itself just to watch your *ADVENTURE* , you took some chances on Beary Beary Island! Not sure I would try that without at least a large caliber handgun (I know the law is what it is). The things you shared we experienced vicariously. *THANK YOU ! & again HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOE!*

Happy Birthday and thanks for all the hard work it took to bring us along with you. Very beautiful.

“ I HAD A LOT OF SLEEP BRO!” 😂 amazing personality, love your videos your a beautiful sou! X

Loved this series, your beautiful camp, that beautiful forest. Enjoyed vicariously being out on the water and in the forest, camping and fishing, enjoying the sunsets and sunrises. Enjoyed going along on your days, one after the other. Although it was tiring for you, it was really relaxing to watch. Get some rest now.

This very important phenomenal bushcarft channel and the video he’s makes are great amazing phenomenal way to help people with learn their bushcraft skills and learning activities about outdoors and and to be education about wildlife and wilderness and I am glad to support this phenomenal man and his experience exciting phenomenal bushcarft channel and it’s fabulous one for RU-vid viewers and happy birthday jo 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎂

Joe, I'm a city boy with a country heart. I love getting out on a lake and enjoying the scenery and the serenity. Unfortunately, my job keeps me in the city with very little time to get away; so I say thank you for allowing me to come along on your little excursion. Cheers!

AWSOME!! thanks Joe! I just wish you would have brought more food with you.. No need to punish yourself. Happy Birthday

Happy birthday Joe I very much enjoyed the videos glad you made home safe!!!! Cheers brother!!! BAM SON.

Joe you're one of the most grateful people around. We're born in the same year and you're elder to me by a few months but your insights into life are years ahead of me. I'm learning alot watching your videos. I'm getting inspired to start keeping a journal again like I used to, start being more grateful and enjoy in the little things that seem insignificant to me most of the time. Thanks for the wonderful videos, I hope to see more of it. Keep it coming brother. And all the best to reaching 1 million subscribers.

Joe well done man. Happy BDay! Loved the trip, glad it went well. Hope to see more. Stay safe and good adventures man.

Hot chocolate and pike. Let's Go!! Awesome series with a great finish. Thanks again for the efforts to film and then edit this much footage. I hope you had a nice steak to celebrate your BDay when you got home. ATB.

I watch the whole thing back to back. Thers is something so calming and peaceful watching Joe as he uses his skills and knowledge to survive in the wilderness. He mst be a bit fed up with eating Pike though, but he caught some big fish!! Amazing scenery and sunsets. It was one of the most enjoyable videos I have seen on RU-vid, thanks Joe.

i'm a bit late to the party, but i watched this mini-series over the course of two days (and a couple of your other videos) and i have to say, you're such a nice dude, so down to earth and very considerate re: nature and being sure not to leave too much of a footprint wherever you stay. the ambiance in your videos is so calming and carefree. you're such a joy to watch and learn from. ♥

i have watched all six episodes over and over. love it a lot. each time i watched them . i would see something different. not always looking at you but i listen to what you are saying looking at the the scenery. the reflection on the glass lake it is breathtaking. everything was exciting, even the bear poop! me being disabled and can not do all that you do. i can only dream. you kind of make my dream come true. thank you Joe! you are amazing. so many different emotions. and i love that fact you are a family man. i highly respect you. good luck on all your adventures, keep safe my bush friend...

I give you a A+++ for endurance both physically and mentally. I've been down roads where you feel you can't make it any further; but you have to dig down and push that extra mile. You showed those colors many times! Congratulations on your successful endevour!

Great video. Try eating more of the lard with the fish in the absence of carbs. When low on energy it will help big time. High fat diet. The Inuit have been doing it for thousands of years. Give it a try. Don’t be afraid of fat. Too much sugar and carbs are the real enemy, not fat.

Awesome from start to finish! Thanks so much for doing this series Joe.

Hey Joe I watched the whole series and loved every minute. I really enjoy your content! Hope you're happy to know these videos arent dead and they're still getting recommended! Thank you so much for the videos! 🙏

Thanks for sharing Joe....I enjoyed the sun sets and everything. Safe trip home.

Oh boy, are you ever going to eat pike again? 😂

We love you Joe! You are so real, humble, and a blast to spend time with! Your friend from Rougemont NC

Happy Birthday Joe love your channel!!!!!

This just might be my favourite vid you have ever produced. 👍🏼 I had a big smile on my face during the whole Day 9. Thanks Joe, and happy belated Birthday brother.

Just watched the whole series back to back on a rainy Sunday. Very enjoyable indeed.

I watched this entire series in one sitting and the one thing you never lost was your sense of humor, that is why I admire you.

This series was awesome!! One of the best channels on RU-vid. Thanks for sharing!!

BEST MOVIE , EVER ! ! ! Happy birthday Joe . It was like I was with you the whole 10 days. I am totally looking forward to enjoying more of your adventures. Great job man .

so glad youtube led me to your channel - i watched the whole series in two days and some of your other videos too.. loved it! Would be happy to see more in the future :-)

Meanwhile I'm just sitting here thinking "he feels terrible because he should be eating 2 fish per day." It's quite a lot of volume, but a low calorie food. Your lard could have padded the diet better, even just melting a tablespoon or two into the rice. And even a lemon rind is edible (and good in soup stock or lemon tea) if you boil it out. Boil your fish heads and peels, stew your rice and fish, finish it out with a good blorb of lard and a pinch of the veggies. I think you probably only got about 1100 Kcal / day!

You are almost at a million!! Thank you Joe. I just found you and now I will never let you go!

I can't go camping without a bottle of scotch or whiskey. That's my one thing I always bring no matter how much I'm roughing it. I camp mostly in the North Georgia mountains or on islands in the intercoastal in Florida. Both super fun. Intercoastal island camping is awesome because there is so much food. Usually we set out traps and feast on blue crabs. If we go on a full moon you go out at around midnight and it's really easy to catch shrimp. The island I like to camp on..one side is a little creek going in and the other side has no boat access but you cam hang up a hammock and watch the ships go by. So relaxing.

Thanks, mate, looking forward to the next one!

Yes, I sure enjoyed it. Thanks for taking me camping.

Happy Birthday Joe, my daughter's was yesterday, June 21, she's 14.

My girlfriend and I just binge watch this series. Thank you for making this :)

I've been watching your videos for about a year now. I've watched this series 3 or 4 times now. Don't watch regular tv any more. Love your stuff. Camped all my life. Haven't been in ten years. Inspired me to get out with family again. Thanks joe

Happy belated bday :) Dude, what an awesome series! I couldn't wait for each episode. Very Well done! I'm REALLY looking forward to your next series! The idea you talked about with more equipment sounds great! ...and next time : LENTILS!

Happy bday....going to miss this series...

Joe, your birthday morning section most definitely captured my heart and many others I'm sure.

Hi Joe: 34 years, wow. How much did the 10 days age you? The trip seems to be more & more an endurance feat than an adventure. What have you learned for next time? I'm wondering if you would consider doing this type of trip annually? However. maybe take a few more supplies next time./ Personally, I'm impressed with the singular isolation & beauty of the place . I understand your attitude about preserving fish too big to be used in one day; to me it shows a lot of maturity. That was quite a birthday cake & quite a special birthday. 34 Wow! Do it now while you can it's much harder at 78 Thanks Brian 78

This reminds me of the time I went to secret wrestling camp in my uncles van

Happy (belated) birthday dear Joe - Your wish come true: 1.1 million +1 subscribers I know I'm really late but I just found your channel - Thank you - you are doing great - I wish you and your family all the very best! Cheers on how many many ... many more birthdays!

38:54 Joe and bird just chillin , man that was an epic shot :) What a great series and what an amazing adventure buddy , you should be proud of yourself man , that;s a story to tell your grandchildren for sure. Hope one day I will be able to do that kind of thing. Take care man and really look forward to your next adventures Nick

Happy belated birthday!❤️❤️ loving your content!

This is the first outdoor channel which catched my interest in outdoor activities again. Thanks for that. Sadly here in germany, we dont have open and wild landscapes anymore. But scandinavia is not far away ... This was an awesome series. Great job! An uncomplicated dude and awesome nature views. Subscribed.

Better Then A TV Show!

I watched your whole series from beginning to end today. It was a really realistic view into truly roughing it. You showed your ups and downs, and I know all those feelings really well myself. And I mean all! Thank you so much for sharing your adventure. You’re teaching me a bunch of great things, and I’m nearing 50. Keep sharing, your videos are great to watch! Take care!!!

I watched every second of this series! Amazing trip! Lets hope you wont have to eat pike for a while ;)

I literally cried when you put the bib on and ate the s’more. The whole thing was just so sweet to me 😭 I’m a Cry baby for sure but your videos are the best. I swear

This was fantastic. Clicked on the first one yesterday, randomly, and just watched straight through to the end. You are doing what most of us only dream of and were kind enough to bring us all along for the ride. Please keep it up! All the best. You should do a trip to NFLD!

Great series, enjoyed every episode.

Nothing goes to waste in the wild. Something benefits from every death.

I don't know if I was more jealous or at peace watching this. Thanks for the great series, Joe!

Happy Birthday, Joe-san. Loved all episodes and awesome ending.

I WANT YOUR LIFE! WISH I COULD DO THIS. I MISS IT SO MUCH GREW UP IN THE ADIRONDACKS.

Ive always loved you videos. Ive been watching as if recent but realized you had these gems in you vault. Loved every one in the series! You keep being you! I appreciate you!

That was an epic mini-series. Just one thought. If you do a ten items trip, on of them HAS TO BE a spare Nalgene or something to store water. Your Keto flu was made much worse by dehydration. If you had been able to boil water and store it and drink it cool you would have been in much better shape. Even a portable filter would have been better. You can't rely on drinking from your cooking can. You have to have some way of storing water separate from cooking.

I love your channel this was a great series
