If you want to check out Wildlands League (also on the standard social media): wildlandsleague.org/ Canoeing through ice is not a good idea. Not just the danger but it will damage a canoe and paddles. Cracked our gel coat and paddles need to be sanded and refinished, despite trying to be careful.
One of the old books on canoeing I've been reading this winter mentions a special kind of tool that they often used for early start/late season trips with ice. I'll have to look it up however I think it was some sort of logging hook. In their case they were using it to pull themselves across ice. Nice video, good to see another one!
Some of my favourite memories include breaking ice on a canoe excursion or paddling through a fierce snow squall... Weather can throw surprises at any time... I once dug some peoples truck out of a snowbank with my canoe paddle and saved them a lot of grief after a late spring flurry in the foothills at our favourite lake. The weird and wonderfully unexpected events often make the fondest memories...🤗
Just a great example of how life can be lived, lots of fun and laughter from two people who love each other and the Canadian wilderness. Thank you Jon and Erin
You guys look so happy together. I always smile watching you mess around having fun like kids, best way to be. I’ve been looking for chaga in my area but not sure enough to harvest. Please ask Erin to do another episode on identifying and harvesting chaga, I’m in the west of Scotland 🏴
🙂🙂 You guys have many birch there? In our region of Canada (northern Ontario) there are a ton so the odds are much better. Elsewhere, I've heard numbers like one in a thousand birches
22:21 This will give me nightmares! lol - The Chaga Fungus was really interesting. Looked like a fun trip, you had some wicked shots in there too! Nice sendoff for Groot at the end :p
The cinematography was superb as always, the 'cuddle scene' and the drone shot over camp were inspired. This was a beautiful little film to match the epic landscape. It's rare to find in a couple, but the fact neither of you can sing a note in tune is impressive.
Dad took the family wilderness camping every summer east of Wawa back in the sixties. I love your videos and have been watching them for a long time. Thanks for stirring up such fond memories from so long ago.
Thanks so much for these amazingly well done videos... I was planning a day trip to an island off the coast to video the spring edibles that are coming up all over right now... After seeing you two again out early in the year I am even more enthused about getting on the water... It's supposed to be 21 degrees, no clouds and a very slight breeze... We are a bit spoiled on Vancouver Island but I grew up canoeing in Ontario so your trips remind me of many places I enjoyed back there... Except for the mosquitoes of course, and the shorter warm season... Stay safe and keep up the inspiring video stories...
What a way to kick off the 2021 season - pure peace and joy watching you chillax and play together on this getaway. R.I.P. Groot - that tear and Viking funeral are priceless. Be well!
One of your better videos. You should do more like this one. Lots of good things to say about your camp out: 1) beautiful spot, but then again where you guys live, it's hard not to find those. 2) perfect time of the year to witness the land start to wake up after a long winter. 3) nice to see a young couple in love enjoying themselves so much. 4) Erin looks nice in glasses, so many people not so much. 5) so glad to see you're not vegans! 😏 6) Jon's got wood... 7)Jon filleting that fish on the shore made me think how many times that exact scenario has played out over thousands of years in that area, first by first nations people then us. It shows the deep history of the land and it's people. 8) if my memory of the geology of the area is correct, that red rock you were standing nearby is approx. 2 billion years old and those very black rocks you were throwing in your game are 3+ billion years old. 9)that birch tree saying:' oh thanks Erin, I've been waiting decades for someone to come along and take that chaga wart off me! Feels better already! 10) the spirit of Groot may haunt you guys... Really looking forward to you guys out on the land this year. Stay safe and have fun!
Hi guys! I really loved that evocative photo at the beginning of two dolls melded into one. And then all that time doing so little. I hope that it was as good for you as it looked. Nothing like special times with your bestie! Cheers from Australia, where it is snowing in places🙂
Great job guys, I absolutely loved it !.. Poor Groot :-( Thanks for making people aware of Wildlands League and the important work that they do. Poor Groot :-( Well, he lived a good 4 days. RIP
The scenery of superior was worthy of a sonnet!! And the drone shots rule! And that last interchange with groot made me do a spit take!! Thanks for championing shoulder season!
Love your videos and enjoy watching Erin along with you. I so very much appreciate you saying "thank you" to the fish that you catch. It's so respectful of life and something we all should remember to do.
Kudos to both of you. Great Northerners. I had so much fun, and learned a lot. Thank you for letting me tag along. Can't wait to see more spring adventures from you.
Hallelujah you're back and catching fish!! I live vicariously through you two so it's been tough all winter. I did a small winter project inspired by you two and your proclivity for losing nets, I filled my net handle with foam and now it floats. I did notice the handoff of the net was akin to an Olympic relay team passing the baton. Love you guys and love your videos.
LOL! Love the baton analogy...so true. The handle on this one is solid so I can't fill it but I've been looking for the right floatation piece for it. Doesn't need much to make it buoyant either, so it might just be a keychain float. Thanks Jay!!
😂😂 omg haha you guys are the funniest. The whole Groot thing was very entertaining. Great video you two, looked like a fantastic little get away, beautiful job capturing some really great shots Jon. 🤘
This is so beautiful! I know you two try to maintain decorum, and any other YT moral requiems, it is natural to be and show that you two share many passions and affinities. Delicately demonstrating such is more natural than not. Thanks for getting ready for 2021! 🤗🤗😌😘
Awesome photography and it’s truly inspiring to see you two getting an early start to the canoeing and camping season! Love the ruggedness of Lake Superiors shore lines and the breath taking beauty of the lake. Keep up the great videos!!👍👍👍🚣♀️🚣♀️
Good to see you in a canoe! My mouth was watering as you pulled that laker in and I may have drooled a little watching it in the frypan. Awesome to see your respect for the lake! Those dramur’s look so comfortable.
Awesome as usual! Looking forward to watching your 2021 adventures! You’s need a string on couple pulleys between your hammocks so you can send the Scotch and the Chips back and forth! Lol
Wow what a trip ! We see that Canada invested in a new polar class icebreaker called the Nova craft , with Captain Jon at engineering and Captain Erin at navigation 👨✈️👩✈️ . That lake is a beauty , and so is the shore , a paradise for wilderness adventure . Glad to see you two having a great time , take care ! Thank's for the video
So needed to see the two of you’s out there paddling. Such great inspiration and humour and everything so enjoyable during this lockdown. Thank you so much for sharing this. It all looked amazing🥰
The phalic looking driftwood would make a great sundial!!! 😂😂🤷🏻♂️ great video and pretty views. One must admire the beauty and danger that comes with big water like the Great Lakes.
Was screaming at the video telling you to cast spoons from the shoreline, Trout after ice off run the shoreline. I am fishing lakers, specks and daily from the shore until the end of May early June. and I am not that far from you.. Finally at 23 mins in you did it LOL. Also throwing a dead smelt or minnow sitting on the bottom works great too. Enjoyed the video keep em coming.
Say, this is really 2021. You two have been set free. I am ready to see what adventures you two have for 2021 . Thanks so much for following your passions. 👍🏿🤗✊🏾🥂.
What scenic beach with amazing view. Many treasured events through your creative selves. I could easily escape there after long iowas winter nap or a long farming season with my Bible, good book, embroidery and hand sewing. What a beautiful retreat. Oh yummiest fresh lake trout. May this new Spring in 2022 bring you both many more happy trails. 😊
I really loved this trip and enjoyed the two of you so much...Superior is so gorgeous...I absolutely loved how beautiful the ice was and where you camped was also beautiful. Glad I went along... 2 years late 😉😄.
what a sweet spot that was. Perfect little beach, water access just a few feet away and cover for the hammocks! Poor Groot though. I guess he had a good run. He went out with dignity.
So I'm one of those annoyingly hyper-observant chefs that notice everything going wrong that could possibly go wrong at every cookout, party and campsite I've ever been at. That being said, I've gotta tell you that your food, especially the food in this vid was on point! Everything looked amazing. You should start a youtube camp cooking channel. I'd watch.
Oh Groot, so sad! :( lol It is nice to do a relaxing trip, you guys seemed to have a blast! Enjoyed the many games and ice skipping. :) Thanks for sharing. :) :)
Aww poor Groot, sent off like a dead Viking 😆. Definitely one of my favourite videos of your this one, good laughs. Certainly a cold one guys. Great fish caught and I bet tasted great! Thanks for the upload both of you 👍. Cheers, Ant

😆 Hahah thanks Xan, was awesome to be back out there. Fingers aggressively crossed that this stay-at-home order doesn't get extended
The tear going down Groot’s eye was hilarious 😂
Hahaha glad it wasn't too dark 😜
You guys sure know how to relax. I am getting hungry watching all your camp fire cooking. Keep the good videos coming.
Hahah thanks OTBP!
The cinematography was superb as always, the 'cuddle scene' and the drone shot over camp were inspired. This was a beautiful little film to match the epic landscape.
It's rare to find in a couple, but the fact neither of you can sing a note in tune is impressive.
LOL 🎶 Thank you as always!
😂😂
Like me, I think they both tried to get kicked out of choir because they did not want to give up a Saturday they could be outside! 🤔🤗👌
Dad took the family wilderness camping every summer east of Wawa back in the sixties. I love your videos and have been watching them for a long time. Thanks for stirring up such fond memories from so long ago.
Very much appreciated Thomas! Glad to take you back :)

Thanks so much Brian!! It's the most exciting time of year 😁
We are in our mid to late 60's and get great enjoyment out of watching your video's. Keep up the good work and enjoy life every moment you can. 🌸
Very much appreciated Robin!
What a beautiful area. And your relationship-wow. I hope you both know how lucky you are to find a partner that enjoys the same experiences.
So lucky 🙂🙂 Thanks Corey!
Really enjoy watching you guys, it's almost like being there with you all. The season is just new which to me is exciting!! Stay safe!!
Thanks Steve!! Best time of year

Thanks a lot Alex! Hahaha love the recap!! The rocky shorelines on this lake are just amazing. So weathered and old...older than we could fathom
Hi guys! I really loved that evocative photo at the beginning of two dolls melded into one. And then all that time doing so little. I hope that it was as good for you as it looked. Nothing like special times with your bestie! Cheers from Australia, where it is snowing in places🙂
Thank you David! Hahah it snowed a little here this morning. Shouldn't at least one of us be warm? 😅
Great job guys, I absolutely loved it !..
Poor Groot :-(
Thanks for making people aware of Wildlands League and the important work that they do.
Poor Groot :-( Well, he lived a good 4 days. RIP
Thanks Pete!! Hahah he's in a better place now

Very few people in the world know that winter is best on the river. My congratulations from the bottom of my heart.
Love your videos and enjoy watching Erin along with you.
I so very much appreciate you saying "thank you" to the fish that you catch. It's so respectful of life and something we all should remember to do.
The love and respect you guys have for each other is inspiring. Thanks for sharing your adventures!!
💚💚
It’s good to see you guys back. We’ve missed you over the winter. Cheers 🇨🇦👍
Thanks Tom! Cheers!

What an incredible spot. The colours of the landscape are just unbelievable. It's like a painting.
Right across from Neys PP...it's a gem!
Viking funeral was extra sweet! You guys rock!
Hahah thanks SS!!
😂😂 omg haha you guys are the funniest. The whole Groot thing was very entertaining. Great video you two, looked like a fantastic little get away, beautiful job capturing some really great shots Jon. 🤘
Hahah thanks a lot Adam!
Great video, looked like an amazingly relaxing trime! It makes me even more excited to get back out backpacking myself!
Thanks J!! It's the most exciting time of year 😁
Thanks
Thanks for sharing this nice post. I wish you and Erin well.
Thank you Joseph!
Love you two! 🥰😂
💚💚
Those few trees in the sun rays when you two were sitting on the log together made for a magical moment.
You two are the best!
And poor Groot 🪚
💚💚
This is so beautiful! I know you two try to maintain decorum, and any other YT moral requiems, it is natural to be and show that you two share many passions and affinities. Delicately demonstrating such is more natural than not. Thanks for getting ready for 2021! 🤗🤗😌😘
Just love the bond between u two. Adorable.
💚💚
nice to have a relaxing trip. just chilling
Really was, especially after winter :)
Nice enjoyable trip.nice laker too
Awesome photography and it’s truly inspiring to see you two getting an early start to the canoeing and camping season! Love the ruggedness of Lake Superiors shore lines and the breath taking beauty of the lake. Keep up the great videos!!👍👍👍🚣♀️🚣♀️
This is what I call true desperation. Love to see you guys out
Hahah much needed!
Such a nice couple,both off you are so amazing gays.I love the video,caching the fish was the highlight for me.❤
💚💚
Good to see you in a canoe! My mouth was watering as you pulled that laker in and I may have drooled a little watching it in the frypan. Awesome to see your respect for the lake! Those dramur’s look so comfortable.
Hahah just what the doctor ordered with all the lockdowns and such 🙂🙂
Second cast “fish on” was the best thing I’ve seen in a long time!
😁😁
You add a new level to the word “Anxious”! That’s as far as I got so far. Amazing
Awesome as usual! Looking forward to watching your 2021 adventures! You’s need a string on couple pulleys between your hammocks so you can send the Scotch and the Chips back and forth! Lol
LOL! Love that idea so much!!
So glad to see you both out!! Lots of time to relax and fool around!!
Loved the Viking funeral of Groot!
Your videos are awsome! Thank you and keep up the good work!
Thank you Kim!!

Laughing so hard! That was Fantasticks. So wonderfully silly. What a gorgeous spot too. Stay safe out there. Thank you!
😁😁 Thanks Andrea!!
I was hoping Erin would stabilize you; I see she has succumbed to the darkness instead. Awesome visuals as always, thanks for taking us along.
😆😆 TY Gabi!
🤣
So needed to see the two of you’s out there paddling. Such great inspiration and humour and everything so enjoyable during this lockdown. Thank you so much for sharing this. It all looked amazing🥰
Nice to have time in camp to relax. And cook some very nice meals. Always like all the "stills".
Much needed downtime...nothing to do but relax. Thanks Bern!
The day 4 drone flight at sunrise was outstanding!!!
Thanks MM! Couldn't even see that sunrise from our spot...it's amazing the new perspective the drone gives sometimes
Great video. The scenery is awesome. Love the humor.
Thanks Rita! 🙂
Awesome look at Lake Superior! The Clear inch thick ice is amazing!
Loved it all thanks so much for making such great videos! Thanks for the chaga and lure lessons!
Thanks Bc!!
She’s a go getter that’s why she likes sawing. She’s a keeper. 😃
Better believe it! 😁
What a gorgeous site and perfect time of year. No bugs, not too cold. Erin really made bank on that Chaga score! Wow!
So lovely to see the chilled side of you both, long may it continue!
Felt really good...a much needed thaw 🙂🙂
That's a nice Lake where you're at nice Laker two looks like you guys had a great time👍
Superior never disappoints 🙂
The phalic looking driftwood would make a great sundial!!! 😂😂🤷🏻♂️ great video and pretty views. One must admire the beauty and danger that comes with big water like the Great Lakes.
😆😆 It's a magical lake!
Scotch on the rocks, Lost Lake style!! Cheers!!
😁🥃
Geez what a great video. Loved the Viking send off. 👁🛶👁
Thanks sunbunny!
Hilarious grout💯👍🏽🇬🇧

Hahah I was tempted to shore fish earlier but the pounding waves would've made it tough/wet/slippery. Thanks Jimbo!
Some of those rocks you were showing were unbelievably beautiful 😍
Absolutely spectacular scenery well captured.
Thanks Peter!
Great to see you guys back in the canoe 🛶.
Erin "the icebreaker" could be back up for the Coast Guard in the high Artic!
Hahah the girl's got options!
Always makes me happy watching your videos. Thanks
💚💚 Thank you Dean!
Wow... talk about pent up energy! In terms of creativity you guys went totally off the deep end with this vid. Just a scary amount of fun here.
Hahah a full winter of build up
Jon and smashing ice off of things...find me a better duo....I'll wait 😂
😆😆
Absolutely stunning! And Erin is such a cutie! Thankyou both for sharing your country's wilderness! Greetings from Aus
You're just getting better. Well thought out . You rolled with what nature gave you . Very unique what your doing and much appreciated .
Thank you Scott!
Very nice to see you two doing what you love to do best! And I will definitely check out Wildlands League.
Thank you Mike!
Thanks for sharing getting out there! A day outside is worth 10 inside!
Can't quite put my finger on it but I really liked the ending. Thanks so much for supporting, Jon.
Hahaha thanks buddy, my pleasure and same to you!
Say, this is really 2021. You two have been set free. I am ready to see what adventures you two have for 2021 . Thanks so much for following your passions. 👍🏿🤗✊🏾🥂.

Thanks Archie! 👋
was hoping to see popcorn and was not disapointed
Hahah 50/50 chance in any given video, along with naan calzones 😆
Oh nice drone footage too
Thanks Nick!
what a sweet spot that was. Perfect little beach, water access just a few feet away and cover for the hammocks! Poor Groot though. I guess he had a good run. He went out with dignity.
Just great!
You guys sure got my thumbs up.! Thank you for caring by sharing.!
Thanks donnyboy!
Don't know if I'm more excited about the new vid or the upcoming Lost Lakes merch!
😁😁
So I'm one of those annoyingly hyper-observant chefs that notice everything going wrong that could possibly go wrong at every cookout, party and campsite I've ever been at. That being said, I've gotta tell you that your food, especially the food in this vid was on point! Everything looked amazing. You should start a youtube camp cooking channel. I'd watch.
Hahaha thanks a lot Doug!! It's nice when the pace is slow like this and you can enjoy food and take your time with meals on a trip :)
Another great video with lots of humour. Just what we need! Lol
I just realized that this is 2021. How nice it is to see you two. 😊🤗✊🏻👍🏿
The best outdoor couple
💚💚
Well Done! This is how life should be lived.
Oh Groot, so sad! :( lol It is nice to do a relaxing trip, you guys seemed to have a blast! Enjoyed the many games and ice skipping. :) Thanks for sharing. :) :)
It was much a needed thawing of the soul 🙂🙂
Happy to find the couple even if the ride seems risky to me!
Definitely risk, with experience/knowledge/preparation all needed :) Thanks Claire!
Aww poor Groot, sent off like a dead Viking 😆. Definitely one of my favourite videos of your this one, good laughs. Certainly a cold one guys. Great fish caught and I bet tasted great!
Thanks for the upload both of you 👍. Cheers, Ant
Hahah thanks Ant!!
Great vid! It was nice to see you guys eating and preparing some good food as well. 👍
Great. Thanks for sharing your video with us.
You guys are insane! I love it
Those rocks you found were so beautiful, especially the one that looked like a crocodile... so cool ❤
That was so good. 👍🙂I laughed my arse off at Erin's " I don't like fish" face. 😁😂
😆😆
You two are fun to watch, and the ring toss game is a keeper!
