Looking back using this chart, I hadn’t realized there were so many other years with similar lack of ice as this year. Also found it interesting how went from almost zero ice to full ice next year. Great video Jon. Appreciate the effort you put in to provide us with these amazing “breaks” from our everyday stuff.
I've been watching your channel for a while now, great adventures and stunning landscape. I just recently found out you are a Kelly, my mother in law is a Kelly too with family in Edminton. I also realised your wife's name is Erin, so cheers for the content from the your ancestral home Ireland. Great job, keep enjoying it and sharing it with us, maith thú Jon.
We can clearly notice that it's getting less and less ice coverage. I love how you point out the facts and leave the viewer makes his own conclusion. Nice exceptional february video Jontario!
Thank you for posting this!! I live in the Lower Peninsula of Michigan only about 15 miles from Lake Michigan. Looking back at the fluctuation in this historical data I can't help but wonder if we're in for some major ice formation on the Great Lakes in the coming years.
Lichens never cease to amaze me. They’re such beautiful organisms but we seldom notice them unless we stop and do it consciously. They survive year-round in places like the exposed rock of that campsite just as they have for eons, and will continue thrive there long after we’re gone. I’m so appreciative that you take the time to pause and film them on your journeys.
The Superior coastline is gorgeous. It's been a strange winter for sure but you really capitalised on the conditions -- cheers for sharing it, Jon. Keep paddlin'
We all wanted to get out canoeing in February, but you did, and look what awesome footage you got. Why go south in the winter, when you can do this in your own backyard. Glad to see you had all the safety gear and emergency plan, you never know. Great job.
Jon and Erin Firstly I want to thank you for the outstanding entertainment you offer us all. I look forward to each and every video you post. I don't comment often on videos but truly felt compelled. I am a professional chef and my sons and best friend and I have a fishing and cooking channel called " From The Tide To Your Table" I end each episode with "practice catch and release or selective harvest". That said, I so appreciate your example of stewardship and respect for our natural resources! Albeit I wish you would eat more fish you are a true example of selective harvest. I know how much respect you give the fish you harvest. That said, rather than dispatching them with a stick I offer a Japanese technique call Ikejime, the most humane and painless way to dispatch a fish yet yielding the highest quality. There are many videos on youtube to learn. I know you will definitely take interest not only in the humanity of the dispatch but the quality it offers in dining quality. I'd be flattered if you would watch our channel albeit certainly not the cinema quality of yours we are working on it :) Keep it going, you bring me joy Chef Mike
Thank you El Nino . We have been thoroughly enjoying this natural phenomenon here in Southern Ontario. Although, winter camping really sucks without the snow ❄
The best videography on RUclips hands down... You have an amazing eye... Congrats on your marriage to an amazing woman in her own right... We watched your wedding and the before and after a couple of times well worth it... You are living an amazing life GOD BLESS from the bottom of our hearts...
The Banks Fry-Bake pans are hard anodized aluminum. I’ve been using them since the 1970’s. Pam Banks was an instructor at NOLS and those pans were born of necessity. The design of the lids for those pans makes them “dutch ovens” and you can bake amazing things in them. Hard anodized is my go to 85% of the time
The best nature videography on RUclips. Great shots beautifully and artistically framed. Obviously you love the life you have built in one of the world's great freshwater ecosystems. Thanks for sharing them with us. Hoping you enjoy many more journeys (and share them with us)
Your videos are incredibly therapeutic to me and what I have for demons in my life thank you so so much I love sitting back on the couch and just getting lost in the videos
GLORIOUS Jon! Crazy climate but happy you took advantage and right in your own back yard. Darn jealous 😉 I am guessing that was the nap of a lifetime given your surroundings with the sound of the lapping water, ahhhhh heaven 💜 Thanks a million! B
Have to agree...lived in ontario 50 years...never seen a winter like this. Looking forward to early spring camping this year. It's the one upside to a warming climate. Keep up the great videos...loved seeing Superior in winter!
I hate to say it, but John; you’ve done me wrong. Some time ago you mentioned your love of dried pineapple. And with your co-sign, I gave them a whirl which has since spiraled me into a state of full blown dependence. If I’m in the grocery store and they’re sold out, I am in an all-out hunt from store to store until I find them. I have started dehydrating my own, which has only lead to a very small surplus of them as my consumption has increased at a staggering rate. I am obsessively checking pineapple market conditions and considering possible outside factors that could lead to pineapple supply chain shortages. I have done everything short of growing my own (which might be my next option). So for this addiction I thank you, but also despise you for introducing these beloved snacks to me, as they’ve become more of a staple in my diet. Kind regards and salutations, John
Sipping Tim Horton watching this. Thankyou Canada! You adventurers provide such incredible content, thankyou and the others, I watch all your shows, start to finish.
@@booch326 His reference to global warming...which he was saying was a major reason he was able to make the paddle in the first place, at this time of year. I see the evidence of it everyday and I hope my grandchildren will be able to enjoy nature 10 years from now
@@racheldenman559In ten years we will be experiencing global famines in the poorer regions as our crops deteriorate under heat and water strain, floods and droughts. Then ourselves in the so-called first world, paying higher and higher prices for food until we cannot afford basics. Do you think it's just an accident egg prices have doubled? Just sit back and enjoy your entertainment on RUclips if you don't believe me.
There's so many things about this and earlier videos you've produced in the past that are just great. But I have to say (since I like that time of day) the sunset and night sky shots are the best. A little star gazing goes a long way.
The reason I watch your channel is not only for the commentary...and the bits of history and geology- but moreover the tips and the safety measures you take. As I am embarking on my maiden voyage this summer, these are things every novice needs to know. A back up plan and two more in addition to that! I also admire your respect for the land and the way you care for each and every part, including what will be left for future generations. As I view the aerial shots of you in your canoe I am inspired and can't wait to give it a try! Thanks Jon (and Erin) ❤
What a treat to get a small canoe trip in on Superior in February! I can't help but feel concerned for our planet at the same time though. Over the next couple of weeks, the weather in Southern Ontario is going to be super warm (false spring).
Agree, Mother Earth continues to speak to those that are listening. Well said. 🌎. Appreciate your lense on the beauty that surrounds us here in the north.
I really enjoy your videos … I live in California and have followed u for awhile… I love canoes/kayaks and your videos give me a chance to dream of the possibilities… glad you are doing well
We live on a lake in upstate New York that used to freeze over completely. By 2018, the maximum ice coverage had dwindled to around 10% and we had toxic algae blooms in the summer for the first time ever. Last winter, a La Nina year (which means colder winters in the Northeast) there was 0% maximum ice coverage for the first time ever. This year of course there's 0% ice again. Toxic algae blooms have happened every year since 2018 and get bigger and more widespread each year because the water keeps getting warmer and warmer.
I hope your knee is doing better, I've enjoyed your videos and content . And it keeps you doing what you have already done . You’re an awesome person and will that keeps me there to your experiences .
This is splendid adventure.🏕️ I appreciate that you can show beautiful nature.❄️ This video became the good hint.😮 I want to do camping like you, too.🇯🇵
Such a beautiful video and short trip. But how crazy is that: A canoe trip in the deepest winter, when I was expecting winter camping vids... Thanks for this short trip, Jon!
Jon, thank you for this wonderful video! The weather conditions provided a unique opportunity for the images you've captured, and they are spectacular. Loved the underwater shots of the floating surface ice. Excellent work!
These unseasonably temps are nice and I'm looking forward to an early paddle season here in the North, but I'm quite anxious about how dry it'll be with how little snowpack there is here in the North. Low snow could mean less bugs (for the food chain), dryer spring, and an even worse wildfire season.
I am amazed that there are so few comments of concern here. Yes, the scenery is beautiful. Yes, John took all the appropriate precautions. Yes, it's great he got out in the "depths of winter". But that's the problem. The cascading effects of this ongoing weird weather are immeasurable. They will affect us all in so many unpleasant ways. I'm glad you got out John but the fact you could scares the he'll out of me...
Watched your Nipigon The Sixth Great Lake story last night and now this. Your work is compelling and stunning. We camped the eastern shore of Superior - the sound of Superior I will never forget - exciting and deafening - the dull roar you described. I love all the other sounds you include in your stories. And your description of smells is a way for us to be present. Thank you.
Thanks to RUclips’s algorithm, I recently stumbled across your content, falling asleep listening to Outdoor Boys. Thanks for sharing your love and passion for Lake Superior and for sharing your gift of noticing the small details. Beautifully captured, sir. I’m inspired to plan a trip with my pops this year.
Jon, I’ve been catching up on a few of your videos and just have to comment. I appreciate your willingness to let your emotions show, your humor is great weather solo or with Xander and Max. Your videography is second to none. Keep the videos coming.
Another beauty Jon! Thanks for taking us along and your cinematography craftsmanship. You brought up El Nino being a "main reason" for the lack of ice and warmer temperatures and then eluded to it's not the only reason. 15:33. To be honest, I would like you to talk more about those other factors and share what that looks like from your experiences.
Stunning overhead drone footage of the clear, amazing Lake Superior. I first met her in 1967 when I was transferred to Marquette, Michigan while in the Air Force. I ended up marrying a Marquette girl, so my relationship with Superior is still going strong. Great video as usual!
What a treat, both the interesting icy water sounds and amazingly beautiful photos. I love the night skies and that shot into the woods with the setting sun lighting things was really splendid! Great work and its super to enjoy all your efforts. 🌌
I live in Eastern Europe and we also have very high temperatures. There were years when the end of February we had like -20 deg, all the little lakes and ponds were frozen. Now its +10-15, thats totally not normal. Not to mention 20 years ago winter started on december and ended up in march, now we have 2-3 weeks of freezing and thats it.
What a treat to see you out on Superior this time of year. As always, this was another one of your videos with spectacular cinematography. Already looking forward to the next one!
Dude, I have missed my canoe so much lately and haven't yet had the chance to get out winter camping. Sitting here at home watching you winter camp in a hammock and paddle is glorious as well as jealous! Thanks for sharing.
You surely embrace going solo. It is special and doesn't hold you back. Glad you could come to your happy place and take advantage of the odd winter weather. Teh frosted plants were beautiful as were the wildlife you captured I dd not get a winter camp this year and I fear it may be my last chance due to age.
This whole video just screams professionalism. Beautiful, beautiful work. Thank you for this masterpiece. And I was sold when you pulled out the Creemore! Southern Ontarian here. New sub and God bless you my friend! ❤️🙏🏼

Also found it interesting how went from almost zero ice to full ice next year.
Great video Jon.
Appreciate the effort you put in to provide us with these amazing “breaks” from our everyday stuff.

So neat!!!!!
Great photography and editing, as always. Thanks for this!
Lichens never cease to amaze me. They’re such beautiful organisms but we seldom notice them unless we stop and do it consciously. They survive year-round in places like the exposed rock of that campsite just as they have for eons, and will continue thrive there long after we’re gone. I’m so appreciative that you take the time to pause and film them on your journeys.
The underwater ice shot was absolutely beautiful. Love the creativity you bring.
Hear hear
Jon, your video content goes way beyond everyday normal. This is pure professional cinematography. WOW, just WOW!
Thank you!!
Darn Tooting...
World class...
The Superior coastline is gorgeous. It's been a strange winter for sure but you really capitalised on the conditions -- cheers for sharing it, Jon.
Keep paddlin'
I love when you show both the canoe level view and then the aerial view so we get a complete picture of the Lake Superior shoreline. :)
Fire light of the retiring sun’s rays on the trees is my most favorite!
I found your channel when I was home sick with covid! I love your videos. You are an absolutely amazing storyteller. Thanks for all your hard work!!!
Thanks so much!

Thank you El Nino . We have been thoroughly enjoying this natural phenomenon here in Southern Ontario. Although, winter camping really sucks without the snow ❄
Nice try 👎
Here’s a big thank you for your beautiful videos….☘️
Jon is a very brave soul to be out on that water. Once again absolutely stunning videooo
What picturesque video!! You are an artist. Always so nice to watch.

Thank you, Jon for taking us on your adventure again. Amazing drone footage of the lake in February, absolutely beautiful...
Water looks so beautiful
The colors
Of nature are supremely gorgeous
My Sister lives on the St. Mary river (drains Superior into Huron) . She has been there about 20 years. This is the first year it has not iced up...

Lovely
The colours and texture in this video are just off the charts man you sure know how to time a camping trip!
Love this channel. This guy is definitely an artist with a camera. Such passion for the outdoors. Keep up the great work.
This is the best outdoor channel without a million subscribers on RUclips. Makes no sense to me. Hope y’all are hitting that subscribe button.
💚💚

You are definitely spot on with your beautiful videos!!
You give people motivation to enjoy nature… thank you so much 😊

I just love the beautifully colored rocks along the shore of superior. Just stunning ❤️
What a treat to find a paddling video from Lost Lakes in the winter!
Amazing trip, and extraordinary circumstances. Thank you for shining a light on some of our climate issues in the Great Lakes.
Wow, you really captured the beauty of nature with all your shots, Jon. Glad you got out. Thanks, 😃
Thanks Brian :)

I woke up at 3 this morning and I would kill to be back in the hammock with the ice swishing around lol
@@LostLakesYup!
So beautiful. The ice, the water and the colors, stargazing...food for mind and soul. Much love from austria.
Thank you! 👋
A very cool trip to watch in the canoe in February !!!!

Very much appreciated!
Superior is beautiful in all seasons. The shot under the ice at @2:43 is really cool. Thanks for sharing, again!
