Fireside Chat; JoeRobinetBushcraft 2016

Hey guys, it's Joe here. I'm out camping on a winter night in the middle of nowhere. I have a big long fire in front of me, my shelter behind me. Sitting on an old milk crate that I found. And I'm feeling real good. So I thought I might shoot a little bit of a video. Again, just talking to you guys. This doesn't really have anything to do with anything. This is just me running my mouth, so take it for what it is. First off, I want to say thank you to all of you. My channel's been going really well as of late. It seems like whenever I put out a good video, I'm getting 10,000 views on it, no problem. So that's really good. It's taken me a long time to get here, and I do appreciate it. I notice the people who are commenting, and I notice the people who are liking and subscribing. I see the names over and over and over again. I try to reply to you guys so much. Lately, I've been having to just hit the like button, the thumbs up button underneath for a lot of it because it's been overwhelming, but I have no plans to stop communicating with you guys, and you can find me, oh, for you guys who don't know, you can go on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, I'm on all those, Joe Robinette or Joe Robinette Bushcraft, depending, either way you'll find it, on Instagram I post a lot of pictures that I take with my DSLR, on Twitter I'm not that active, to be honest with you i'm most active on instagram and facebook i don't have a um a fan page or anything it's just my my normal facebook so your friend requests me i just gotta i have a lot of friend requests every day so sometimes i have to wait a while to weed through them to make sure which ones are spam and which aren't if you are my friend on facebook you will see like sometimes joe robinette was tagged in these sunglasses things or whatever just dumb things and that's all people spamming me so i have to go and delete those and stuff so anyways i do accept all the requests i get i just might take me a little bit this stuff isn't hard guys just a little bit of knowledge a little bit of gear go out have fun you don't have to go on some crazy expedition if you want to go in your local woodlot or go in your backyard you know what i mean pitch a tent try winter camping there doesn't need to be a fear of the woods or a fear of being alone i would be much more worried in the city about something that i am out here gear isn't everything either you don't have to have awesome gear to go not at all you can get by with a couple sleeping bags put inside each other you don't have to have an expensive sleeping bag at all you don't have to have the lightest stuff either lightweight stuff helps a lot and it's uh you can probably get farther that way if you're just starting out that doesn't need to be your goal you know what i mean you go have fun winter camp summer camp spring fall get outside i got a lot of questions about like um how to start up and things like that basically just be safe you know what i mean you've seen the videos that i put out you've seen the videos that other people have put out there are courses you can take now this is so mainstream camping bushcraft wild camping so mainstream now that's a good thing we all have to be respectful of the woods we all have to understand that there are rules out here and there is things, there are things you need to do to keep be safe so right now I'm up in eastern Ontario I've spent all day here camping tonight I'm by myself feel really blessed to be out here really happy and fortunate I was able to come take this time away and be out here by myself I needed this supposed to drop the negative 8 tonight but we'll see what happens but I'm having a fun time we're cold camping so no hot tent I have a poncho behind me good times got a bivvy bag with my sleeping bag in it and my sleeping pad there's any interest in it I'll do a question and answer video so this is your time you can put your questions in this in the comments below this maybe I'll do in a month or so if I get a few at least a few questions I'll do a question and answer video what kind of like Lily's been doing survival Lily 2016 should be pretty good I have a few cool camping trips planned and have about four or five courses with Northgate Bushcraft to teach if you guys didn't know myself and Fraser Clark are partners and a company called Northgate bushcraft the bushcraft school based out of North Bay Ontario you can check out Northgate Bushcraft.com to find out details when courses are all that stuff last year I got screwed out of a few trips just because of my gut my stomach so one of them was Killarney the La Cloche trail the backpacking trail and another one was the Lake Superior coastal trail I want to try to fix that I want to for sure do the coastal trail. I'm not 100% sold on Killarney. I'd rather do the coastal trail, but if I can do both of them, I will. I'm sure there'll be an epic spring canoe trip as well. Probably four or six guys. And then in the fall, Kyle and I are going to do a fly-in, paddle-out canoe trip way up north. We can catch walleye and pike and all sorts of fun stuff. So I'm really looking forward to that one. I think Kyle and I are going to try and squeeze in a two-night backpacking trip in the early, early spring down south Somewhere West Virginia or Kentucky Indiana some somewhere in those around the states We like to go south in early spring like the early April because it's warmer down there less snow and stuff It's wet and cold still, but it's okay if you're backpacking you moving all the time Alright guys, I guess I'm done rambling on like I said nothing in particular. Just a bunch of little little thoughts I had I appreciate you watching. Hope you guys have a good night. Bye how I did it It's kind of like an a-frame but they drop back to it I there's a couple reasons. I did this
