This isn’t just a guy on RUclips with paddling and camping videos, this is artistry. I am blown away not only with the scenery and quality of the filmmaking but also with the personal touch and heartfelt, thought-provoking commentary. Keep it up!
I Really enjoy your videos and production style. No unnecessary (and dated) hard rock intros, no unnecessary electronic music with quick editing cuts and slow motion panning, no superfluous and subtle bragging; just naturally flowing videos filled with nature’s beauty, adventure, and positivity. THANK YOU!
Greatly appreciate that William! 🙂🙂 I try to make natural audio the soundtrack as much as possible...it's certainly what I prefer when I watch this type of vid.
Jon there was something else I wanted to comment on. You started a revolution with your catch release techniques amongst fellow RUclipsrs. I can't watch a video now where they don't mention removing hooks and or pinching barbs and importance of gentle handling for a quick safe release. Bravo my friend 🙇
Well I can only take an infinitely tiny fraction of that credit but I really appreciate that Toozer! And I'm extremely glad to see this trend growing as well 🙂🙂
Agreed and great call out! I as a viewer have now pinched all my barbs, removed most of the middle hooks on my cranks, cut some trebles down to 2, and passed along this info to my buddies who have done the same. All I know about fishing is from Jon lol but seems like I chose the right person to take advice from.
Are you ever out of touch. Catch and release has been the dominant form of angling, even among hardware chuckers, since the 70s. Single hooks are really important also.
You had me at “coming back with the love of my life.” ❤️ I’m so excited for you two! …oh, the adventures you’ll have!!! Gives me hope to know that there are men who enjoy the companionship of an equal. Started watching before you introduced Erin and enjoyed your perception of the universe, your respect for everything you encountered, and the way you captured it on film, but the fact that you’re head over heals for such a badass outdoors woman, gifts me with more than I think you’d ever expect… it tells me that Unicorns do exist. Jon and Erin, I wish for both of you all of the gifts you give to your audience, exponentially multiplied.
This is definitely in my top five videos of your's so far! I really liked it that Erin did a lot more narrating in this, and it cracked me up when she ended up almost waist deep in a bog. You two are great and I thank you for the beautiful content. Happy late Birthday Erin!
I simply love your way of sharing your love and taking on the true wilderness and nature! Wishing you, and your beloved one all the best and immensely rich blessings every new day! Best regards from Sweden!
Watched this wrapped up in a warm blanket. Brought me some serenity, longing for the days of heading up that way again next summer. -- Snipped that view at 35:54 and set it as my desktop background. Thanks!
Jon, you really are such a sap and it’s actually refreshing. No pretense or pretending… just open love for Erin and and your beliefs in nature and science. It’s why I always can’t wait for your next video
Well my friend from Lothlórien, you kept me up until the wee small hours...and it was worth every second, great to see your Galadriel out with you again, the 'Pocket Rocket'. Great team, great couple, superb film as always.
It's so refreshing to hear someone speak so highly of their relationship with their significant other. I'm so very happy that you were fortunate enough to find someone to share life's adventures with. To me, there's no better feeling in the world!
The quality of your photography and narration makes viewing your videos a joy. Keep up the good work. It would be nice to learn more about your choice of canoe and paddles. When I was younger (I'm now 72) none of us wanted to cook on our trips so meals were at best plain and at worse barely acceptable. Your cooking efforts make me realize what a mistake we made. My wife was not a camper, so I can appreciate the benefit of having your life's partner with you.
Truly appreciate that Kevin! Hahaha I've been there...I've learned how much better my mood and energy are when there's nutritious food. Such a nice reward on demanding days too. We're paddling a 16' NovaCraft Pal here which I really like tandem or solo. Erin's got an interesting cupped blade paddle from her mom (brand says "Prospecteur") and I've got a double-blade carbon-fibre Aquabound Sting Ray 250cm which is better for me than a single blade due to a wrist problem
It's a delight to watch your videos. A Canada many of us will never visit and a trip we'll never make but you gave us a taste of what it might be, at least the fun parts. You keep alive the spirit of the early Canadian explorers. I hope your next generations will follow you. Thank you both. I'll wait for the next one.
Well done. Really enjoyed again. You two Rock. Fishing wasn't up to snuff, but at least the whiskey was good, and the company even better. You are getting to predictable with the meals, how about changing them up a bit? Thank you for having me along.
Fantastic trip- the campsites pretty awesome, the river and lakes were beautiful and honestly the two of you working together highlights the partnership. Kudos to thigh deep in the mud and saying “Yeah film it” completely chill about it.
Erin, I’m glad you were able to get away from your studies and join in on this trip! Sorry you got stuck in the mud, but good for you for not hiding it. We all get “stuck in the mud” at some point. You handle yourself well, as always. Much love to you both 💕
You had me at “I found her”. I love this story and it is one that stays with us the rest of our lives, I know I have one and so happy to hear you both do too! Keep the amazing videos coming Jon, I tell all my friends about me watching your videos and how calm and in awe I am of them. Hopefully it encourages then to check out your channel.
45lb. canoe?!!! Wow!!! I would love that! Mine is twice that... Great trip! It's always better when you 2 are together! Thanks for letting us tag along!
Soooo many beautiful lakes, I don’t know how you can keep from just finding one you like and staying! The two of you are so great together, it’s a joy to watch! As always, loved the adventure!
I just wanted to say thank you for all the hard work uploading videos making videos editing videos. I know you guys don’t know me but I love your guises content. All the way from Ohio just wanted to say thank you.
Love these videos man! My favorite part is how youre always genuinely enjoying yourself(selves)even when conditions arent great. I can tell its not about views or money for you guys unlike many nature related channels these days
The story about the woman’s voice really hit me hard. I love your appreciation of nature and how you feel things deeply. I am much the same. I don’t belong here as much as I belong out there. That is a truth that has been lovely to learn but which also causes me dissatisfaction with the everyday nonsense we call “life”. I already look forward to your next video! Thank you for sharing yet again. :)
A moving and inspiring account of your adventure together. I love the respect and admiration for each other that shines through. I wish you a lifetime of joyous discovery together.
"...you'll hear the wilderness calling you to return...." I always pause the video to read the page of the book you show. I am always glad for it. Thank you guys for sharing with us.
Just an awesome trip you two! Your story of the woman's voice gave me goose bumps and for whatever reason they continued throughout the video. I believe in logic and facts as well but through some life experiences I also believe in fate and that some things happen for a reason. The reason may not be evident at the time but it usually becomes clear at some point in life. Wonderful that you have found your soulmate and if you can believe in that, then your well on your way to a bit of fate as well. Haha! Thanks for sharing your filming, opinions, thoughts and feelings. They are inspiring! :) :)
One thing(of many) I love about your videos is the time you take to capture nature shots. Whether it be a frog, mushroom, sunset, lichen, moth, etc. That little extra to share the beauty of your surroundings is awesome and really adds a special touch. Have you ever looked at canoeing the Missinabi River complex north of Chapleau? I’ve been to Lake Missinabi fishing several times (30 years ago) and was really amazed at that area. I’ve seen a couple RUclips videos of people canoeing the river. Looks amazing and pretty hardcore in spots. That lake can get very rough in high winds.
Thanks MrJ! I'm recently addicted to the genre and actually just ordered a bansuri to hopefully learn and bring on trips. I played the (western) flute in gradeschool and have always loved it so I'm excited to try to get back into it :) Love the sitar and tambla too
Another amazing Video Jon, I enjoyed every second of it. You guys make a great team, Erin is a real trooper. Take care, stay safe and I look forward to the next video.
Thanks for the wonderful video. I watched it all in one sitting. You guys are truly great together. I can tell that you two truly loves the outdoors. I hope you two have a wonderful blessed life together going forward. I can’t wait until I find someone that truly loves the outdoors as I do and won’t mind getting a little dirty enjoying it. Stay safe and love each other no matter what.
At some point I'm going to run out of Lost Lakes videos to watch and that makes me sad. :( It was great to see Erin take the camera and commentary so much on this one. Nothing against you, Jon, but having two perspectives and a "change of scenery" is never a bad thing. It's awesome to see you two work together. Erin definitely shares the responsibilities and makes for a great adventure partner, no question! Cheers to another lovely trip! Thanks!!
Hahah that's a long list of videos. I totally agree with you, I love being able to share the commentary with Erin...not just in the end video but on the trip itself it takes the onus off me to keep the narrative going
Thanks guys sometimes it seems like you are either bushwhacking and catching fish our you are paddling in Tom Thompson country et el. Which is ultimately “fished out”. But that being said really cool northern Ontario history on that one lake. I am guilty of it myself, I love the Legend. One hell of a painter!!!
Excellent video, guys! Magnificent footage, great editing, yummy meals, serenity for you and viewers, and that sunrise the last day! Happy Birthday Erin! You are both Blessed to have found each other....Namaste
We are closer as a species to being adapted to living in the wild than we are to living in the city, I think that's one reason why it feels so right to be out in the Wilds
Nice to see Erin tripping again. I keep anticipating a vid of you two. Down the Romance River ❤️. Jealous. I picked up some great info. It’s odd your lack of 🎣 success on that chute at Grey Owl’s cabin. I’ve had good luck with pike x2 there. I’ve been meaning to say your videography has gotten so good. Mastery. Looking forward to trying out some of those exceptional sites next year. Take care.
Greatly appreciate that Greg 🙂🙂 Yeah I can't believe it, that seems like such a perfect hole with nice weeds and all...and elsewhere, couldn't believe the tough bite. Hope it's better to you next year!
Hahah some people use that button quite liberally but, if nothing else, I was certain that using traditional Indian music in the intro and outro would garner some dislikes 😂
New slogan for your merch line... "I just checked the Zoleo" 😂 But on the real I'm currently deciding between sat comm devices for next season's adventures. It's time I pull the trigger. I've been getting further out there solo and intended to start taking my 4 year old daughter deeper into the backcountry. She's got two seasons at Kawartha Highlands under her little belt. A seasoned vet!
I remember hearing a tip about canoeing with cheese, first is the harder the cheese the longer it lasts, the second is you can put a bit of cheesecloth around smaller chuncks (250 g. maybe) and dip them in wax to keep out the air and bacteria, like baybel cheese (though yes that one is soft but works for hard ) . Don't need for 6 or 7 days but might help for the longer trips. Thanks for another great trip!
I have been canoeing quite a lot in Swedish rivers and what we do instead of portages is what we call ”tåga” which means letting the canoe through the rapid by itself using a line in front and the aft running along at the river bank. Works really good!
Always great content from you, Jon. And the genuine connection between you and Erin is a vibe all its own. As someone who didn’t realize how special the woman around him was or how much he was loved, it’s dope that you do. And that you make an effort to. One of the biggest lessons in life for me has been learning to balance the development of my mind with my heart. And with a bit of wisdom, I can find gratitude in those moments having occurred in my life in the first place-which ironically enough, creates space for future connections or personal growth to unfold. I’ll quit waxing philosophical lol 😂thx for brining us along on this journey
Another Stunner!! Just loved it. Really cool floating shot at min. 26. And the foggy sunrise w the loon! Wow. Thank you! As always much love from Colorado 🤠
Jon, somehow your edits keep getting better and better! Love the split screen front/back of the canoe, the flashback, and the mornings of days 7 and 8 were breathtaking. Erin, so glad you could take a much needed break from your studies. J a l a p e n o...lol. Thanks for keeping it real and including the mud scene. As always, really enjoy bearing witness to your awesome partnership. The ending commentary made my heart sing. ❤️❤️❤️
I really loved this trip with you two ❤️ newly engaged & obviously very happy. the pace of the trip was very relaxed & enjoyable. I've watched it several time's & it always makes me smile 😊❤ so many amazing camp sites too
I just love your videos. They inspire me so much. Watching you two just makes me happy and after going through a bunch of videos it feels like we’ve become friends. This one just as beautiful as all the other videos. Amazing!! Keep it up! All the best from Sweden.
Awesome video with soul-touching scenery and moments. Thank you for the work of sharing it. Hope you had a great bday Erin- but dang girl- just going to troll my Warriors like that🤣
Came across your channel via the youtube algorithm and binge watched loads of your videos over the past week. Love what you do and how you show it.. love Erin too!
Great video as usual :) last trip of the season for me was mid-September so these uploads are really holding me over until the spring. It’s awesome you’re able to do this full time now - it shows on your channel as each video is better than the last!
Nice that Erin could take some time off to go on an adventure with you, and a beautiful one at that regardless of the rain. love the camp spots you had , I always love the rocky shores and lakes of northern Ontario. It is what draws me back . what a epic adventure with gorgeous scenery. A very Happy Birthday Erin all the best.
This is beautiful country I have never seen, thank you for a wonderful little paddle. Up 129, from the end of your trip at Aubrey, toward Chapleau is also stunning country, and the fishing along 101 toward Wawa is incredible, if you get in off the highway. I spent a year logging in that country, building roads, great memories. Some folks in Wawa take the ' shortcut ' to southern Ontario through Sulton off 129 to 144 to get to Sudbury, probably how they got a ride to the start of this trip? This trip shows the weather in northern Ontario summers, inland from the big lake, and the beauty around every corenr . Hope this inspires people to get north. Thanks for posting !!
Thanks Al! Just drove Sultan on Thursday and it was a soupy mess with mild temps. Better in winter or summer but I've also got two windshield chips on it!

When I was single I never found a woman who liked canoe camp trips so l gave up l9 look ing for a woman to canoe with

Thanks so much Andrea!! I really value having her there to share the narration "duties" as well :)
What a beautiful journey. And to openly embrace a life partner. Thank you ❤❤❤
Great vid! Erin- That 1996 Chicago Bulls shirt made my morning.
Ba ha ha. Laughing at Erin's pepper tasting. As usual, your videos are like a visit from an old friend. Thanks.
Hahaha thanks for that Jim! 💚
Absolutely beautiful. The video techniques are awesome. The scenery is stunning. So good to see you both on this video. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much Rita!!

Hahah!
Beautiful trip. Happy late birthday to Erin. Thanks Cheers
💚💚💚
Well my friend from Lothlórien, you kept me up until the wee small hours...and it was worth every second, great to see your Galadriel out with you again, the 'Pocket Rocket'. Great team, great couple, superb film as always.
It is an honour to have you join us Théoden King!
Good thing Erin went back for that net. We know how you feel about Erin losing nets lol.
😂
No-one likes a net loss :)
Looks like a wonderful trip. I love all your sweet tributes to Erin (happy birthday). May you have years of trips like these ahead of you!
Thanks so much Jacquie!
I enjoy your videos
They relax me
Jealous of you two love and friendship
Thank you Erin and Jon

We're paddling a 16' NovaCraft Pal here which I really like tandem or solo. Erin's got an interesting cupped blade paddle from her mom (brand says "Prospecteur") and I've got a double-blade carbon-fibre Aquabound Sting Ray 250cm which is better for me than a single blade due to a wrist problem
It's a delight to watch your videos. A Canada many of us will never visit and a trip we'll never make but you gave us a taste of what it might be, at least the fun parts.

Greatly appreciate your comment Arturo!
Wow the feeling I get when I watch and listen to your videos. Just love them.

I liked the video as soon as Erin said she lost the net :D
Oh and the woman's voice was definitely a Wendigo..
Why would you say that?

Oh! And yes; relationship goals!
Hahah 💚

Looking forward to trying out some of those exceptional sites next year. Take care.
Greatly appreciate that Greg 🙂🙂 Yeah I can't believe it, that seems like such a perfect hole with nice weeds and all...and elsewhere, couldn't believe the tough bite. Hope it's better to you next year!
As I comment 441 likes 11 dislikes. What on earth is there to dislike. Oh well. Enjoy it all. You are in an unique and awesome point in your lives.
Hahah some people use that button quite liberally but, if nothing else, I was certain that using traditional Indian music in the intro and outro would garner some dislikes 😂
New slogan for your merch line... "I just checked the Zoleo" 😂
But on the real I'm currently deciding between sat comm devices for next season's adventures. It's time I pull the trigger. I've been getting further out there solo and intended to start taking my 4 year old daughter deeper into the backcountry. She's got two seasons at Kawartha Highlands under her little belt. A seasoned vet!
😆 Good on ya man, you'll get one and never look back!
I remember hearing a tip about canoeing with cheese, first is the harder the cheese the longer it lasts, the second is you can put a bit of cheesecloth around smaller chuncks (250 g. maybe) and dip them in wax to keep out the air and bacteria, like baybel cheese (though yes that one is soft but works for hard ) . Don't need for 6 or 7 days but might help for the longer trips. Thanks for another great trip!
,great seeing Erin!!!.... loved the video!!!
Thank you!!
I have been canoeing quite a lot in Swedish rivers and what we do instead of portages is what we call ”tåga” which means letting the canoe through the rapid by itself using a line in front and the aft running along at the river bank. Works really good!
Always great content from you, Jon. And the genuine connection between you and Erin is a vibe all its own.
As someone who didn’t realize how special the woman around him was or how much he was loved, it’s dope that you do. And that you make an effort to.
One of the biggest lessons in life for me has been learning to balance the development of my mind with my heart. And with a bit of wisdom, I can find gratitude in those moments having occurred in my life in the first place-which ironically enough, creates space for future connections or personal growth to unfold.
I’ll quit waxing philosophical lol 😂thx for brining us along on this journey
That's a good outlook my friend 🙂
What a great film! Videography was excellent, scenery was stunning, and you two are truly a great partnership. Well done, both of you!
Thanks again brother!!

This trip was a beautiful tribute to Erin from you. Great content, enjoyed it very much! Stay safe and Healthy! Happy Birthday Erin!!
I agree! Jons love letter to Erin.
💚💚💚
Jon, somehow your edits keep getting better and better! Love the split screen front/back of the canoe, the flashback, and the mornings of days 7 and 8 were breathtaking. Erin, so glad you could take a much needed break from your studies. J a l a p e n o...lol. Thanks for keeping it real and including the mud scene. As always, really enjoy bearing witness to your awesome partnership. The ending commentary made my heart sing. ❤️❤️❤️
Hahaha thank you so much April!! 💚💚 That morning of day 7 in particular over the misty marsh with hot tea and a crackling fire was pure zen for me
I really loved this trip with you two ❤️ newly engaged & obviously very happy. the pace of the trip was very relaxed & enjoyable. I've watched it several time's & it always makes me smile 😊❤ so many amazing camp sites too
💚💚
I just love your videos. They inspire me so much. Watching you two just makes me happy and after going through a bunch of videos it feels like we’ve become friends. This one just as beautiful as all the other videos. Amazing!! Keep it up! All the best from Sweden.
💚💚
You 2 are so wholesome, amazing genuine content.
Awesome video with soul-touching scenery and moments. Thank you for the work of sharing it. Hope you had a great bday Erin- but dang girl- just going to troll my Warriors like that🤣
😆 Hahah thanks a bunch Gdub!
Another great video you guys!!!! My lost lakes t-shirts I ordered should arrive any day now!!!
Thank you so much for the support Ian!!! 💚
Love that “ canoe Split View” in your editing 🙌🏻
Thanks a lot Michael!
Came across your channel via the youtube algorithm and binge watched loads of your videos over the past week. Love what you do and how you show it.. love Erin too!
Much appreciated!
Great trip. Sending this to my wife who is hesitant in doing something similar with me!! Thanks, Erin, for setting the bar!
Thanks Eric! Start her out with a luxurious experience and eventually degrade into a bog dunking lol
Great video as usual :) last trip of the season for me was mid-September so these uploads are really holding me over until the spring. It’s awesome you’re able to do this full time now - it shows on your channel as each video is better than the last!
Thanks so much Meike! Hard to put away the paddles but I'm pretty excited for winter :)
Nice that Erin could take some time off to go on an adventure with you, and a beautiful one at that regardless of the rain. love the camp spots you had , I always love the rocky shores and lakes of northern Ontario. It is what draws me back . what a epic adventure with gorgeous scenery. A very Happy Birthday Erin all the best.
The hot pepper!!! haha I did not belief one bit that Erin was fine! hahaha
😂😂
This is beautiful country I have never seen, thank you for a wonderful little paddle. Up 129, from the end of your trip at Aubrey, toward Chapleau is also stunning country, and the fishing along 101 toward Wawa is incredible, if you get in off the highway. I spent a year logging in that country, building roads, great memories.
Some folks in Wawa take the ' shortcut ' to southern Ontario through Sulton off 129 to 144 to get to Sudbury, probably how they got a ride to the start of this trip?
This trip shows the weather in northern Ontario summers, inland from the big lake, and the beauty around every corenr .
Hope this inspires people to get north.
Thanks for posting !!
Thanks Al! Just drove Sultan on Thursday and it was a soupy mess with mild temps. Better in winter or summer but I've also got two windshield chips on it!
@@LostLakes Spring breakup ,,,,, toughest time of year on those roads.
Take good care !
This was incredible! Your commentary was wonderful! It was so nice to see Erin! Goosebumps friends!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Jody!!! 💚💚
Thanks for another perfect Friday night you two!!
Always great footage and content!
Thanks John!!!
