Joe Robinet talking about doing The Wilderness Living Challenge: • What Would you Choose ...
Why are there so few women watching the channel?
Are we just going to be catching and eating fish on our survival challenge?
I'll talk about whether or not I have completely "lost my edge" or if this channel is going to double down on the masculinity.
What happens when a video is "age restricted?"
I show off my maple sugar collection.
I will answer if Joe Robinet is doing The Wilderness Living Challenge.

The whole problem with age restrictions on RUclips is a big one. You’ve shown that you’ve got a good head screwed on your shoulders, though, so I’m sure you’ll hammer it out soon enough. Best of luck to you man, I’m rooting for ya!
Took the word out of my mouth! !! ! !!!
i like that all these bushcrafters, campers and hikers are all giving each-other ideas and inspiration, whats good about this is that there will be content to watch no matter who the youtuber is, so im not fussy when it comes to seeing the same content, there is always something different, like the atmosphere, banter, food or fire techniques, even just the sense of the whole video, so im up for anything.
Nobody blames you for doing what you think is best for the channel. I can only say for myself that I watch your channel to learn. I don't mind repetition.
Those of us who have come to know and appreciate your channel are here for the long haul, Chris. You keep on doing what makes you great and don't worry about the rest friend.
Agreed
Thanks Tim.
100%. We're always supporting even from a distance
I enjoy your content as well as Joe's content. Yes they're different but that don't make one better than the other one. Yours is more living off the land and I enjoy that. With that being said we're all one and we should stick together. And I know you weren't bashing him but some of the people in comments was I felt. Love you both and wish you the best
I most certainly was not talking badly of him. I have a lot of respect for Joe and what he has done from essentially scratch and failure. He wasn't just given what he has, he built it.
One of the things that I really liked about your videos is that in addition to the information sharing like how to prepare various proteins the reality is you're providing a day in the life. And secondly you're transparent approach to what works and what fails. So many other video bloggers do not show their failures.
I found your channel because I wanted to study up on some survival skills for this 5 day backpack I'm going on for my senior graduation project. I just wanted to thank you for continuing to put out free content for us all. I binge watched seasons 1 and 2 (so far) of your wilderness survival series and have learned so much. Despite having to deal with the occasional struggles of relying on youtube as a platform, I greatly appreciate what you do for the community and wish you the best in your inevitable growth. Thank you for inspiring me and getting me pumped to immerse myself in nature, even if it means I won't be living entirely off the land. Best wishes.
Dude, whatever happens I'll be right here by your side...I support everything you do.
I just want to say that I agree with everything you say and do. People like yourself are rare on RUclips, a genuine guy. Whatever the direction you take I’m with you. Great appreciation from the UK!
You should look into hunting hogs in texas, they're always in season and they're a destructive species, so go buck wild.
We did a lot of hog hunting :)
I watch your videos quite often.Don't always comment as I am watching on my smart tv, not a computer or phone.Just keep being you man, follow YOUR instincts.Uts what got you where you are in the first place!
I will watch whatever you upload to youtube. I find you interesting and informative. You have a lot of knowledge to share. I have been watching Joe Robinet for a long time, what he does is great. I like listening to your views on life. You can still show future generations how to's....and around the campfire at night do your faq's or subscriber q&a's. No matter what you do you will have a fan base always. From Perth Western Australia.
Thank you, finally. Don't know if you remember me, but i'm a big fan of your catch and cooks, skinning, gutting ect. Been waiting a long time for you to bring those kinda videos back. Been here since 25k subs and i won't go anywhere.
You are teaching people very valuable information. RUclips should let you show where food comes from, how it's gathered or killed, and how to skin and process the animal. These are things that most of the world has gone away from. If something major were to happen here in the states people would go anarchy. Most people out there wouldn't survive. I love your videos. Stuff I didn't even learn in the military. Chris, as a disabled vet I thank you for not only teaching other people survival skills but you've helped my 2 children learn more than I can get out and teach them. Keep up the great and valuable work.
Keep putting out your videos the way you want and we will keep watching. Enjoy your time with Bob and I can’t wait to see the results
I’m only 7 minutes into your video and I’m sending a BIG thumbs up! Can’t wait for more raw and REAL footage! Keep up the great work. Looking forward to Texas!
Just a thought... What about doing something like shooting some adventures and editing to PG with a link to a second video of the good stuff. I know that's asking for a huge editing commitment, so only on a limited basis, but it might be a solution to some situations where you find you have important content or messages and want it to reach as broad an audience as possible and still offer the true, unfluffy content to people who want the full beards an experience. As for your trip, I'll basically say what I did to Joe: I, and I think most viewers want to learn, want to see you challenged, want to see the successes and failures, but not to watch you suffer. However you decide to build the challenge, equip yourself with what you need (or the tools to build what you need)to be comfortable at night and any down time within the parameters you set. I'm not saying go glamping or have no struggles through over equipping, just give some thought to things that increase having a good, restful sleep, and improve your emotional and spiritual edge.
Sean Lewis Great Idea!!
Much like how DVD extras work.
Sean Lewis j
I enjoy every video you upload they have all helped me to grow in my survival what you do is a forgotten trait that I believe is needed more now than ever thank you
My honest opinion of you and your videos, you are a rockstar! I can’t wait to see the next video! Every weekend I watch and re-watch your videos
One thing I noticed with creating content is that it's easy to get addicted to the instant gratification of how many views and likes you get within the first week, used to determine my happiness based on if my weekly success rate was the same but I realized that some people are simply too busy to consistently watch me so it's not the content that's bad or anything it's just being being busy, I'm rooting for you brother!
Your honesty goes a long way. Keep doing what you're doing!
Fellow Ontarian, and recent subscriber here - I love your videos, and appreciate all the work you put in. Excellent content, and I'm glad to see genuine skills and pursuit of knowledge without nonsense, hype, or BS (but still maintaining fun and a good time). Keep up the great work.
Thanks man!
Keep on showing whats is good to you. You cant please everybody but please yourself, and that pleases me.
Cool that you & Joe collaborated on the wilderness survival idea. That Alone experience really disappointed him because he's better than that. But it proved to be a humbling experience which, I think, has made him even better.
I like the idea of your channel & it fills a niche that some folks didn't get exposed to, but want that experience. Keep it up & pursue that happiness!
We want your channel to grow. I don't remember how I got introduced to you, but I'm glad I did. It's nice with smaller channels, but of course we want you to grow, to be able to do more videos etc. Can't wait for the next season & more long videos as puddle lake. Love from Sweden.
i LOVE the wilderness living challenges! definitely gonna check out bob and joe's experience with it. can't wait :) been subbed to bob hansler for a while and he's got a great channel. very knowledgeable guy.
Good to see you back continuing the RUclips channel the way it use to be. Looking forward to seeing more catch n' cook videos.
I love how open and transparent you are with your audience. Keep up the great content!
This is the first video of yours that I've seen and I already like what I hear, subscribed, keep doing what you do man!
I enjoy the videos as they are. I watched you and (great) Jeremy yesterday. Loved the video. when you fell, I was devastated!
Great Job! You worry too much about the video. Stop worrying so much! Just do the job you are doing now.
I always dig your primitive style vids and your minimalist approach to being outside. Joes videos are very bushcrafty and making shelters so I think in the interest of staying different, as you were planning you don’t really need to do a lot shelter wise. I dig the idea of 100 years ago and 500 years ago days. Something along those lines would be cool. Regardless you doing camping and fishing on the lake will prolly be enough for your core audience. I wouldn’t stress TOO much on trying to come up with something unique.
I really enjoyed the horn sculpting, sugar making and spear making videos. I find videos like these add a lot of variety to your channel and also educational value by demonstrating primitive technology.
Whatever direction you decide to take your channel in the future, I'll keep watching for the excellent content. Keep up the good work. 👍
You're doing great man. Subs are still growing. Not all vids are gonna be homeruns. Glad to support.
Hey man, I just wanted to let you know there is always going to be some OG viewers who will watch your vids no matter what ❤️
Hi ya Chris! I have no idea how I missed this, u’ve already been to Tx and P. park. I learned lots and had a blast on both. Idc what u do on ur videos as long as u enjoy doing what ever ur doing, I’ll enjoy them as well, if it bores u, I’ll be bored to, (though that hasn’t happened... yet) if it does happen, well, let’s just say, u never gave up on me, with all my questions, u’ve been there for me by answering them, your a distant friend, I’ll support u, ur videos, Thank u
Not every video is going to be successful, keep doing what your doing. Your so full of knowledge I enjoy learning from you, but what I enjoy is you and Jeremy interacting and working on stuff together. You guys are funny. I really enjoy your opinions. I’m always a fan
Came for the cool channel name, stayed for the content. You channel is a great educational resource, and I am now hella subscribed to the uncensored channel. I am a girl, and the uncensored content is what I'm interested in. Glad you have the new channel.
You have an awesome channel. Your sincerity is what really makes all of this worth watching. It's a scarce product these days.
love the channel, like I suggested to joe, since you guys are kind enough to take us with you on your adventures to places some of us will never get to see in person. maybe put up a list of 50 items and let us vote on what you take. but again do this for you we will and do enjoy watching anything you put out PG or not. keep it real and take care
You are my top you tuber. I have withdraws without you videos. Lol. J/ k but you're really one of my favorite and I am a woman. You never know if someone may need to know this stuff one day. Believe it or not I'm the only one that my grandsons have that shows them this stuff and tries to teach them. So I need this type of stuff to learn myself.
Thanks for sticking with me even though I often put my foot in my mouth.
I like how you respectfully did this video if it's not for some people it's just not for some people! I pray that you have a safe trip to Texas great video!
We are doing a 210km canoe trip in June to Wabakimi again and then August doing 3-4 days at Woodland Caribou. Keep up the great videos...cheers Fred
Too many people live in a bubble wrapped world.
Just keep doin what your doin Woodbeard your channel will continue to grow
Thanks for all the great content, I really appreciate all the work you put into providing us viewers good, fresh content on a regular basis. In many ways I find myself with similar feelings and passion for the outdoors and survival skills (but not the same) so am attracted to the videos you post to get another point of view. Like the things you've mentioned about, caloric intake and energy output for hunting/gathering of food, catching, prepping, storing meat, male/female roles etc.
I also think it was interesting/great and fun to see how you interacted with your bride in the wild, in my opinion you appeared to compliment each other very well without much if any conflict. Who knows, you may have just edited those parts out (haha), but you both genuinely appeared to be enjoying the experience, even though you were focused on filming, directing, producing and educating simultaneously while she acted the part of willing participant.
As far as "losing your edge". One thing I have come to learn as I grow older is to just continue sharpening, there is no true way to keep your edge as sharp as in your youth but to quote a famous song from Toby Keith, "but I'm as good once as I ever was". Hope to keep that going till the end!
Myself, have hunted some (deer, elk, antelope, rabbit, upland birds and waterfowl) and continue to fish on a semi-regular basis but never trapped so those videos are of particular interest for me from a learning standpoint. Also hoping for some culinary help with the catch and cook stuff, my cooking skills are pretty limited! Look forward to seeing more of your videos in the future. thanks again!
Well said, and something to live by for sure.
I would say the videos where you set up a camp and catch n cook wild animals - the process is what is most interesting. Maybe it’s because something as simple as where your going to sleep or hearing you talk about what you’re going to eat not because your necessarily hungry but because you need energy to continue building your camp...I don’t know anything about what you do but when you take something that I take for granted and achieve it in the wild is fascinating to me...idk..hope that makes sense.
Missed your channel until now. Looking forward to checking out your previous videos and future videos as well. SUBSCRIBED
I enjoy your videos because they inspire me to get out more. PG or not, keep doing what you're doing. Cheers!
You should totally do a collab with Joe one day! Support the both of you
Been trying!
Glad to hear that you are staying true to yourself. Love the channel! Honestly I love the survival challenge stuff.
Bro, for me it's not only your content, it's also you I'm here to watch, I like your way of talking and thinking, your self-awareness all that. So do what you want to do, I will watch. ;)
...But, i do love the hunt videos and when you gut an animal, very educational. ;)
I'm not surprised that The Dollar Shave Club supported you in this, they have a pair, too bad more companies don't.
I got my Beaver T-shirt. I love it! Thanks man. Good luck in Texas!!
Personally I'm interested to see some more survival elements in the next season of The Wilderness Living challenge, like building shelters. I know you've said it's not your style, but that's what I'm interested to see. Something in the style of Alone. So 10 items also sounds good to me.
Another idea that could be cool is some sort of nomadic adventure - travelling from A to B, maybe with some historical narrative (certain tribes may have migrated at certain times of the year for various reasons?). So you would have to carry shelter with you, or set up a new shelter every night, forage and hunt along the way and also see a bunch of different stuff along the journey. I'd also like to see you improvise your hunting or fishing strategies depending on the land which you encounter on the way, rather than planning in advance to drive somewhere to demonstrate a certain strategy. A mix of both would be good.
Hey man, you’ll be fine regardless.
Food for thought... I come from a reservation in sw ny and have seen attempts to establish a true long term camp / bug-out area. The idea was to find a good spring uphill from the area, dig - modify - divert and establish a clean catch basin. No one ( including me ) ever worked it to fruition. Granted, not high action bit could be worked in to a variety sustainable practices a lot of folks may be interested in.
Whatever direction you head, deeming it right for you and yours should come first. Peace, love and ....Canadian jam knots!
A lot of camping building rely heavily on paracords where people do not have access 200 years ago. One interesting challenge would be you have to use/craft ropes with natural material.
Your content is real world survival-style catch & cook brother. While I like Joe, his approach has been different, and I value your style of productions. Your acquisition of subsistence is a strategy that is taking a back seat in modernity. We need realism such as what you have been doing.
As an avid outdoorsman, and an anthropologist, I can affirm through empirical evidences, that it is a dying way, but yet simultaneously remains a subject of great concern to many people that we maintain the knowledge of providing self subsistence strategies when needed. I applaud the way you've approached your channel, and implore you continue to teach those seeking such knowledge to keep our Hunter/Gatherer inheritance a tradition and lifestyle, rather than be left to the wayside, to dissapear like so much of our past has become. These vital skills may be of great importance one day, to many of us.
For sure!
I would be interested in seeing you guys to a wilderness living challenge that involved aboriginal prep. For instance, it would be highly unlikely that a native or ancient man would be out in the wilderness without having prepped. I would say a bit of acorn flour, some dried meat, a knife, some leather, an ax, a bow. Stuff like that. Walk into the wilderness with those things, then gather starches, proteins and fats while surviving. With the prep, I bet you guys could stay healthy, and maybe get ahead.
Just so you know. Whatever you set your contents. I’d still watch your channel. You’re the man! You and Jerry are what makes the channel awesome.
Thanks Andy!
Keep up What you're doing and do what you gotta do. I enjoy your content and appreciate what you do and go though to make the content that you provide us as viewers. Thank you .
Just started watching your channel and I think that it is awesome I definitely subscribed and liked love the vids man keep it up
On point. I believe you are true to yourself. You have "an edge" no doubt. (Great minds, think alike.) Two thumbs up !
You can promote yourself during your own PG videos with links in the descriptions, talking about other videos at the end of the PG. it might get others looking into what RUclips censors naturally. I love your videos and I've been binge watching them and learning (I find this aspect most important) but most of all I love your respect for the land and animals that you deal with in your challenges and videos. Keep it up!
Hey Wooded Beardsman keep up the good work! We need more men with an edge.
Keep up the good work mate for me all your videos get a thumb up, I hunt and shoot so we speak the same language. I’m on your side you put those videos out there and I’m watching with great interest. All the best.
👌👍☝️🇬🇧
I am glad I’ve come back and watched most of the rest of this video it’s sad that your main with the edge page is still has no videos visible I was very looking forward to it. Great ideas please keep it up looking forward to the next season looking forward to the rest of the week with Bob. Yet
I'll watch whatever you put out Chris, I'm a big fan of your channel. I think you guys should forge your own knives for the 100 year challenge. Go old school and film the process. I'm an amateur knife maker myself and I learned how to do it watching you tube videos. It's not very easy to do, but it's pretty cool being able to utilize a tool that you made with your own hands. I also built my own forge out of stuff I had kickin around the house. It's definitely do-able. Good luck in Texas.
any video of yours is a favorite of mine. ever consider making a podcast with jeremy? also im absolutely thrilled for this wilderness living challenge! remember to have fun down there!!
edit: I'd love to see you guys make a new kind of shelter this season.
I've subbed in support my brother, Your content, editing & production is polished.....
I wish you future prosperity in all you seek....
Gus,
London.
Always good stuff! 👍🏽 Make some native style lures and hand line! Keep up your vids that you like doing, keep your edge, it’s what got me here in the beginning!
Utube, what a racket! Keep it going, if you can. Your content is well received by many of your followers. It will be fun to see the difference between you and Joe's trips. You have a very different style than Joe. Have you two thought of a 5 day trip together, any plans for such a trip? Joe is a bit more squeamish but would handle things well. As for what you and Jeremy should do on your trip to WCPP, more than 10 items but do put a limit on it. A day fishing primitive would be interesting.
great day off and new beard video great as always bro watching now!!
I have been enjoying your videos all along. I don't agree with the age restriction but that's the game today I guess. I look forward to the future and what you bring to the scene.
Congratulations to over 200 thousand subscribers. I think you got close to 10 thousand subscribers in a week
Thanks buddy!
Do it your way Wooded Bearded Bruv. I come home after a hard days work in the UK rat-race and like nothing better than to chil to one of your vids... I wouldn't suck the brain of a Groundhog just to get to its snot but I know if I had to I could, all because of you. Good luck to you and yours. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Maybe thin hemp string works as fishing wire. It's pretty water resistant. Can add some metal wire to the end if the fish have teeth. Hemp has been around for a long time, so maybe it was used for fishing.
Silk line, and even shellac covered copper was some of the fishing line 100 years ago. Silk was used by the Japanese for hundreds of years for dapping or tenkara style fishing. And bone hooks and gouge style hooks ( like a toggle). Not sure about bow hunting like a recurve in Canada in Missouri we can use the bow for fishing and all small game there is a minimum draw weight and limited season on deer but that’s just wildlife management and to be expected. The maple sugar darkens partially in part to the amino acids as a side not amino acids allow you to use baking soda instead of baking powder in things like bannock as the high amino acids activate the baking soda. Good deal on the channel nice research and looking forward to more from you wish I had more I could contribute.
That's how you say " Bring It !!! " Your values are spot on my friend. Keeping it Real. love your shows
Hey brother,
I think this is the first time I've left a comment here on your channel and I actually don't watch too many vids from other channels (just don't have the time really).
I wanted to weigh in on this because its pretty close to home.
As for the PG stuff, I think you're doing the right thing. As a creator myself (busting my backside trying to build the channel) like you with hopes of building a small business that will help fund my own videos and adventures... I hear ya' most people don't realize the expense and effort that goes into these video projects. (rambling...) The thing is, I've tried to keep it PG all along and I know that its slowed my growth but at the same time I know what RUclips expects. I know that if I was RUclips and laid out the ground rules for creators that I would expect them to be followed.
I think that in the long term creators will find RUclips tightening up more and more and when that happens it will be well worth sticking within their policies.
Anyhow, best of luck with your channel. Keep up the good work.
Jason
I think I may have said this before, its not to do with whether you are male or female, its about who you are, your goals, interests & passions. How a person wants to live their life. My husband and I get out into the Australian bush every second weekend (more often when we can). We both do it for the the same reasons, we love being out there away from people, kayak fishing and the everyday basic stuff we need to do to be out there. Both of us have most of the same skills, just at differing levels depending on practice or interest. As I have also said before, I still enjoy your channel.
You gals are opening my eyes and that's a good thing, thanks for bringing balance to my perspective.
See who can last the longest without anything as a side bet. Then go as minimal as you can. The person that uses the least to thrive wins. Plus, it puts a real perspective on what it takes to survive; will be an eye opener for all of us that are prepping but don't have the opportunity to do a trip like that.
Cool idea!
DUDE! You actually got Joe to agree to that!?! You rock!
well said, i agree,be who and what you want to be,be true to yourself ,and don't worry about pleasing everyone,because you can't.even the man who could walk on water couldn't please everyone, and we all fall short of that mark...btw i just joined DSC..
You could do something I saw on Fowlers channel, still do what you like catch n cook and all that, but for the dispatching of animals and prepping them to eat make a separate video you could stick in the description, that way you still get the video you want and people can choose to watch or not and that way hopefully RUclips promotes the main video. Hope all of this makes sense, it totally did in my head :p
Since it sounds like season 4 of the WLC will be primarily fishing focused as in season 1, I think it would be cool to see you guys use some fishing lures that you crafted yourself. Maybe some hand tied hair jigs or a hand carved crankbaits rather than relying on modern plastics and and metal based lures. Pairing that with some hand line fishing could be an interesting experiment
Never let your edge dull mate. Been watching not commenting sorry. love what you do mate ;-) Where do you Shave ;-)
Just so you know there is new viewers, i'm fairly new. Keep it up, I really like the content regardless
The difference in early season and late season Maple is the quantity of bacteria. Very little at the beginning. Butt loads in the end. The bacteria carmelizes and gives the color.
You should take about 10-15 pounds of bannock(flour). It was a big part of the natives diet, and they often just ate ONLY bannock for weeks at a time.
Good man. Be true to yourself 🖒. Looking forward to your future films 🔥
I love your channel. I think I like it because you’re real and honest. I wish I had an answer for you, but I don’t think there is one. Joe has 500000 subs and he’s terrible. Keep doing what you’re doing because I think the people you are trying to reach are the ones tuning in.
Great talk man ! Love your vision and your content. Congrats on 200k subs man ! Looking forward to future adventures, I am hoping to do a wilderness living challenge meal this summer,as you had suggested about 2 years ago haha. I will find some time.
No specific ideas atm, but i do love seeing the terrain and countryside in your videos.
Stay true to yourself and the vision you have. Thanks for sharing your work and craftsmanship!
I'm excited for season 4 of wilderness living challenge
Get out there, make a lake shore retreat homestead, turn into resort, fishing, hunting, wilderness survival camp course situation. There was a Canadian fishing vid channel out here, and you fly / boat in, and spectacular options. You have all that free royal forest-lake domains to squat and develop. Make it happen.
The whole wilderness challenge thing is good however I don't need to see bow drills natural shelters. Tarps, lighter and even a gun for hunting is all a huge part of outdoors IMO....oh yea, it's got to have Jeremy in the vid too. He's very wise when it comes to the outdoors. Cheers
Even though this vid is old, it is wonderful!
Chris I really appreciate what you are doing with the channel and I will try and support you by watching and sharing your content. I was wondering if you had any more thoughts on how I could send you the stuff I have for you
Would like to see you take a small day pack with you into the wilderness, see what you put in it, hear the reason for those choices, see the gear put into action with associated skills.
So many channels have Bug Out Bags ect, they show off the contents of but never test them.
Would be cool to see a real outdoorsman's version of one of these bags actually used.
Brother I would watch you do just about anything!!!!!! Love your vids! Your a funny guy.
