3h42m...what is this nonsense? Brilliant question, thank you for asking it. This is episode one of a four-part series covering my first year of full-time camping (2021) and the backstory of how that became possible. There are chapters in the playback bar as usual if you want to pick and choose parts.
Episodes 2, 3, and 4 (for summer, fall, and winter) will be released throughout the year and they’ll cover the behind the scenes of what it takes to be able to be able to do this full-time including:
-filming and editing in the summer episode
-the youtube and finances side of things for fall
-and a variety of frequently asked questions we get in the comments for the final episode
I made most of this last year while injured and finally had a chance to finish it a year later. It was a beast.

This channel…longer the better!
@@t.sewell1513 agreed!!!
amazing stuff my guy, the effort in your videos is commendable and your story is absolutely legendary
This will be downloaded as my main ASMR to sleep. Amazing Jon, Thank you for this. Hi to Erin 👋🏼
Thanks Man
This, and the entirety of this channel belongs in the archives of the National Film Board of Canada. It’s a historical document of our nation’s remote wilderness in the early 21st century and so much more. We are so privileged to witness it all as it’s published.
I agree! How can we make that happen?! There is no one more deserving.
What year was this made?

Could not agree more

You sir, will one day die smiling at the sky never regretting a moment. One of the best channels on the entire planet.
Well damn, with a recommendation like that, how can I not sub?!
Not a you tuber who quit their job to randomly make videos, but instead a skilled, experienced, and gifted outdoorsperson and film maker whose heartfelt passion transmits to the viewer. Such a special channel. Thank you for capturing your unique experience. It's pure and very respected.
I ❤️ your very informative channel. I lived in Ontario for 10 yrs and you showed me so much more than than I could ever imagine even existed. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤keep living your best life and Erinn is a keeper!!
If a tuber quit their job to make videos that’s ambition rite there money is money still working it would just come easier we need to get out of this mentality of thinking we need to slave ourselves to make something out of life work should be fun not stressing
@julliansenior6505 yes great point! I guess my comment was more about Jon's expertise with wilderness experience and respect for nature as his primary focus, with the you tube stuff being secondary. Sometimes I watch his films and imagine the ruckus it would cause if inexperienced folks just randomly went to these places without the necessary precautions and expertise. Much respect to Jonathan and his treatment towards Canadian wilderness. 👍✌️
@@EmilyVidd I agree, he always tries to educate a bit whether its reading a paragraph of his book on that trip or describing how the ecosystem works in that area. The videography is superb from the time-lapses to the macro video of plants and bugs.
@@julliansenior6505 YOU ARE AWESOME !!
I'm telling anyone and everyone about ur channel ...u deserve a Million at least!!!!!
💚💚
Lost Lakes videos are some of the best wilderness adventures on RUclips. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Agreed
@@michaelbroyer3918 💯
My son is 18 and has a wild roaming spirit. He has ideas that change on a weekly basis, but they always come back to being in the wild and traveling in a free self sustained mode. He is held back by what society and his family wants him to do. Settle down, make roots and pursue a living. I am going to show him this video and hopefully inspire him to go for it and not look back. Thank you for putting it all together in a beautifully produced video.
This made me choke up a little bit. To have a dad that tells their son to “go for it” isn’t something to take for granted..
Man, you are living the dream. Keep up the great work. I live vicariously through you Xander, Max, Keenan and Jim. I’d kill for your editing talent. Sincerely, northern Wis canoeist.
Literally the only show on earth I am glued to the screen, cannot get enough of this channel. It’s just so good. 👏🏻👏🏻
Best 3.5 hour film I've watched since Titanic. I'm so thankful I found your channel. With your cinematography, the music you add and the footage you capture really soothes my soul. You picked the right profession, my friend. Thank you for what you do. It is appreciated.
Seems a shame I can only give this one thumbs up… Great job, as usual, Jon. Hi Erin!! 👋🏼
Jon, thank you so much! I love that you do not go for any artificial drama or hype on your channel - you let nature and the scenery provide the drama. Please just keep doing "the trips you want to do" and taking us along as a buddy. So inspiring, yet relaxing!
No doubt. Some of my favorites have given in to AI thumbnails and such...it's whatever...but I appreciate the "organic" nature of John's channel for lack of a better word. Best there is.
He plays by his own rules. Living the dream.
Thank you for your gifts to us. May the weather, water, and bugs be kind to you, and may flowers, sweet beaches, and exciting paths be at your feet. Wishing you health and more great adventures. Erin too.
Good for you mate. Been living out of a mountaineering pack for 14 yrs now in the PNW. I work 3 months of of the year. I grew up watching the northern lights in Montana. As a kind it always showed me how truly small I was. We lived outdoors. I didn't walk into it with no knowledge, id done it all my life, living simple. Life's simple when you can live on less than $1500 a month comfortably and be able to actually save.
Meni cuychhhhghhh😊hhhhhhhhhh
saving money is a super power ❤
@ericcomp7032 it kinda is especially when you can afford to go from a regular tent to a hot tent setup. There's an element of suffering when you live outdoors and I'll make that trade off until it comes to shelter😂
🎉 Best decision ever!! Your Fans are glad you did.
Ah yes!! Perfect way to spend the evening as my heart recovers from the infamous attack. Thank you good sir!
Agh...I've heard of that notorious monster. Wishing you good health 💚
I have been watching Lost Lakes for well over a year now. I do not believe in subscribing to a channel just because it is "free and so easy". It takes me a long time of constant great content before I 'simply click'. There are about 10 RUclips channels I subscribe too, and Lost Lakes is one of them!
80% of any adventure is only 20% interesting. Jon does an unbelievable job at bringing the most important moments in a 12-day trip (that most of us dreamed about doing) into a 1- or 2-hour video! And Erin... I hope Jon realizes what he has in Erin!
What are the other channels you have subscribed to? I'm from Australia and recommend " Scotty gone walkabout"' & "Chris bammans".
@OfficeMonitor…started watching him early on…every trip it seemed he had a new girl…At first I just thought he must have a high ‘male drive’…when I mentioned it to my husband, he said, “He’s just looking for a gal who can keep up and love it like he does.” He was correct:)
We love the show and Erin:)
My husband commented about the AMOK's a few weeks ago... we love them thanks to you introducing them to us. For the record, your channel is BY FAR our most favourite of the few we follow. The excitement in our home when you post a new video is palpable. We are most grateful you quit your job to pursue your passion resulting in entertaining and inspiring us. Your grasp of cinematography, commentary, humour and serenity is a delicious blend we can't get enough of. It would be an incredible honour to run into you someday out there. And yes, we wear your merch!!
By far my favourite. The best, the absolute best channel on youtube.
The first RUclips sub I ever did that wasn't a band. The only RUclipsr I ever binge, re-watch, joined, and bought merch from. My heaven will consist of Dave Matthews and Lost Lakes shows.
I think that people with no talent make alot of money on you tube but you make quality video and I envy you
Just love your videos… so glad you are doing what makes you happy and Erin is there beside you…thank you for sharing Gods beautiful creation, your videos are masterfully done.
May God bless you both and keep you safe Jon!
Stella
As someone who has done many portaging trips, two things, 1) Don't worry about how many lakes you can get to, living in the moment and absorbing all of that beauty feeds the soul, 2) Eat more fish, you're never going to dent the population in lakes not many people are willing to work that hard to explore and fish..What a great channel..Thanks..
Great video! I love the back story, and I am looking forward to the 3 other parts! I have been watching for years, and it's been a pleasure to watch you and Erin together on many adventures. Thank you
Hello sir. I love your videos. I am unable to adventure like you do, so watching your trips on the big screen really makes me feel like I'm there myself. Thank you for that.
About the lost gopro.... I could be wrong, but......
34:28 bottom left corner of the screen as you passed the tree. Ironically, your dialogue sounded like giving up the search.
Cheers, and I'm looking forward to the next one.
In my opinion, the best outdoor channel.
Absolute MASTERFUL creation!! Love every second!! Thank you!! On to 300K!!
I’ll say it again,… WHERE is your award!?? Truly so admirable and sincere! Your knowledge, wit, attention to detail ! Your riddles! … your giddiness at nature and your bravery are more of what our world needs!! Thank you so much for all your hard work!💚💚
Wow what a beautiful and well-done video! When your work is your passion, it's not work! Thank You so much for the amazing quadruple rainbow! Don't think I will ever witness this in person and so very grateful for you sharing this amazing moment. Love your channel and both of you!
your backstory is intersting. I've watched most of your videos, and certaintly they become more enjoyable over time. I can relate to your challenges in the corporate world, having had a 35 year long career. Hopefully you will enjoy a long marriage like our 35 years together, and a family to enjoy it with. Thank you.
We could watch this all day, over and over.. big fan of your talent
I wanted to add, I will definitely be following your journey all that much more closely knowing your true commitment ❤
I did have some spring cleaning plans/yardwork that needed to be done this weekend, but instead I have been watching this 4hr cinematic masterpiece on and off thank you, incredible watch!
You, more than any politician make me proud to be an Ontrian and Canadian. Thank you
Just think , many years from now , all yr video's you posted for us / saved for you , to look back on when that time unfortunately comes .. these clips will be so memorable ... Good job on yr outings ( filming and narrating) and of course for being out there yrself exploring our natural beauty of part of our Canadian sheild . Good for you for what you do .. We thank you ..🛶
Thank you for all the hard work you do filming,editing and Bush wackin to create the amazing content you always capture your videos Will be watched in my house for years to come #lost lakes forever!
I've watched every single trip, and I am always excited to see a new upload! This one is no exception. Truly a work of art. I cannot say enough good things about your work Jon. I am truly thankful for it. I also love the history behind how you started and have always wanted to know more about you and your family. Thank you for teaching respect for the rivers, lakes and streams ...for your love of paddling and respect for your forefathers (leave behind) you are absolutely my favorite paddler and "my canoe guy"! You rock!
ABOUT THE LAST BOOK YOU READ AND YOUR REFLECTIONS, YOU'LL LEAVE BEHIND SOME OF THE FINEST INTROSPECTIVE OUTDOOR VIDEOS EVER CREATED ON THE PLATFORM. WE, I AND STU, MY FRIEND IN SPAIN, OFTEN WATCH AT THE SAME TIME AND SHARE WITH OUR OTHER FRIENDS IN THE UK. AS ALWAYS JOHN. BLESSINGS FROM OREGON, ... MIKE.
Where you began, went, and are now.
You are an inspiration, brother.
🙏🏼✨
Thank you so much for showing us such a beautiful part of our country, this video is outstanding
Never get tired of your adventures Jon! I watch them over and over!
You said you had 40,000 subscribers when you started you have one more now. Not the first time I've watched your videos though I watch you and Aaron and circumnavigate that Lake I was fascinated by the photography that speech that what you guys got along such a beautiful video you brought tears to my eyes several times. I totally commend you and Aaron e r i n for everything you're doing thank you
Jon I've been fallowing you for a few years and I'm so happy for you and the ol lady you guys are a great couple. Every year I go Camping at Wakami Lake Provincial Park you always cross my thoughts when reflecting on the norths beauty. Bless you, took a chance and you made it. A lot of us envy you and you earned it
I admit I was cracking up about double rainbow...but dude the triple/quad rainbow...is what legends are made out of! Your voice is great, calming and you are very informative . New sub here.
Spectacular! You are a great filmmaker! You took a chance and bet on yourself and did it ! Congratulations...have been watching you grow this into what it has become.. But it's still true to what you've been doing all along! Tremendous accomplishment.
I burst into laughter during your Matilda reference. Absolutely delightful. Mr. Kelly, you are a wildly talented editor/videographer and outdoorsman. The world is a better place with you in it.
Jon... whatever happens. Whatever future choice needed for your family. This journey exploring your amazing Canada has been a joy to watch.
You will never regret a moment of it. ❤
Love this kind of story telling video, and some hefty to sink my teeth into over the weekend! Congratulations on doing what your clearly passionate about👊🏼
No channel quite captures the essence of Ontario camping and its natural beauty like you do Jon. It's amazing to see your channel's audience growing and seeing the backstory of you pursuing such a fulfilling life. Thank you for the countless hours of amazing content!
Wishing you success and happiness. Thank you for allowing us to see and be a part of your journey
I love watching your videos right before i go to sleep because you have such a nice and chill personality and your addeting is outstanding. It calms me down and make me forget my problems for some time
The vivid scenery fuels my balance, while your truthfulness and honesty stokes my own humanity and my continued fight to overcome my congenital shortcomings. Thank you
Jon, I absolutely love your story! Following your passion and dreams isn't always what we all do, but I am so happy you did. Think about all the decisions you made and they all lead to the love of your life (no, not the outdoors)! Thank you for sharing your adventures and wish you both continued good health and happiness!
SPRING is wonderful! Thank you!
I'd like to believe what you did is the definition of 'courage'... jumping into the unknown following your passion leaving a nice job behind. 😎
I just started watching this video. Keep living the dream. One of the many of us needs to live the dream for the rest of us.
This is a great idea. A remastery of your previous expeditions!
I think I saw the GoPro. See 34:28, on the left lower corner of the picture. Seriously I'm quite sure about it
You’re the best Jontario!
Always loved your accomplishments. You showed life can be hard, and it can be easy, that's what has gotten me through all the hard times. Social anxiety, depression, and social isolation........?. I have seen a my room like just short of looking at a container for 2 years and more (because I had to go to the door for just eat) your awesomeness is just just amazing Smiggle (sorry I am dyslexic). I hope you understand that, sorry if you don't 😢. Just saying I love you doing your best ❤❤❤❤(I wish I could)
PS. Congratulations on winning everything (on Wife 🎉on dream job 🎉and all your future endeavour 🎉)
At 3:20 already crying. As someone who feels incomplete unless I am in nature, your channel helps to fill in the gaps between my adventures. Your genuine enthusiasm is these moments your authentic awe in nature is what makes this channel what it is. You truly commune with nature and it gets me right in the feels. It’s such a bonus you have also become an incredible film maker. Keep chasing those dreams. You will be a Canadian icon. A true explorer.
You’re are incredible human who’s pushed back against the cookie cutter life. I am envious and inspired, and wish nothing other than your channel to continue to grow, and allow you to share your adventures while providing for your family! Cheers man!
The Matilda scene with you eating breakfast was a masterpiece. Fun fact, my daughter is now a drama director for the school district she graduated from and they just did Matilda the musical. I help with props and got to make the cake And had to figure out how to make it disappear, sliced spice slice as the cheered Bruce on.
What a life this bum has - I envy him! Looking forward to more vids of you and your brave traveling companion!
It was a brilliant move. Im blessed to spend time with you watching. Thanks 🙏
You are one of four channels I watch for camping content on youtube. If it weren't for your channel, and what I learned, I would have never even attempted the trips I've done in the last five years. If you asked me to go winter camping 5 years ago, the answer would have expletives in it. Paddle 20km in day? yeah, not a chance. A 2km portage? F*$% that! Today? All of the above and loving every moment. Your video's are much more than entertainment. They are a recipe on how to experience what you do. I'm not an entertainer. The video's I've made while camping are not fun to watch, but that's ok because I enjoy watching them to relive the trip. I stopped trying to document my trips and focused on having fun. I'll continue to watch your content and keep learning skills to make my trips better. Thank you... Really, Thank you. Your channel changed my life.
You have a gift, keep sharing your dreams with us cowards that can't or won't dare to pursue ours.
go enjoy nature
Mann this was so good. I feel like ive gotten to know you so much more after this. Well put together looking forward to summer 🌞
Aw thanks buddy ☺️😊
We love everything you do Johntario. Poetic gold.
You and your poetry belong out there on a lake! Great joy to follow along, thanks so much
Amazing what a dream and a vision can do to a person, congrats i wish you all the success on your journey's, love watching your videos.
I appreciate you sharing this journey, the re-edits, explaining different aspects of how you've accomplished this dream. I discovered your channel because of the collab with Joe. As always I look forward to more content. Glad you've healed up from your injury.
I've only been on board for about 2 years but I'm so glad I found your stuff. Please don't change one bit as you inevitably grow bigger! You guys rock.
Just concluding the video and it was just wonderful. What a gorgeous journey and traveling with you is a real joy. So glad you had that year to get to do that and your love of God's creation is wonderful, Thank you for sharing!
It’s nice to get some backstory! I’ve been following for years… keep up the fantastic work my friend!
Morning coffee, snowing outside and enjoying this gem of a video. All the best for you and Erin 🥰 THANK YOU
Just knew as soon as I got word that this series would be epic, with stunning scenery [Four rainbows!], animals, and great videography. The intelligent commentary caps it all off. Can't wait for the rest of the series, but the same could be said for anything you film. So happy you're healed so you can have new adventures, too.
The quote”Cell phones are the disease, this is the cure”,(being out in nature) as you’re in a canoe on a pristine lake fishing and breathing and absorbing nature through every pore. We are all doing it through osmosis.
Thank you 🙏🏽!
Thank you for sharing, inspiring, and archiving. Great timing on the video
Love your channel! Inspiration mate, well done!! Keep up the amazing work and live your dream 🤌🏼🤌🏼
I had every intent of stretching out watching this video to make it last but once I started watching I couldn't stop lol I've said it before and I'll say it again, this channel is by far my favourite channel on RUclips. Keep living the dream and taking us along for the ride 🖤
Tune in and Tube out. You have a genuine talent at video making and are a great inspiration. God bless your journey.
Genuinely surprised that this video has under 10m views, it’s a masterpiece.
Well the video was posted 4 days ago sooooo😅
Can’t wait for episode #2. Slogging in bug infested terrain no. Definitely love seeing all the fish. Don’t eat fish but their beauty never ceases to amaze and bed head hair, got you beat. Best part of day was my husband’s face when he saw my bed head. Got you beat!! What an intense video! Told u before you and Erin are my #1
Very nice getting your full you tube background John. wonderful....and probably making every single one of us jealous :)
5 minutes in and I am thinking of how to write my letter of resignation 😅
Double dog dare you.
Do it that way you can never die in regret and you can always come back to the settled life get a new job etc
There is incredible irony in your video and your life. You if I am not mistaken were born and raised in Toronto if I heard correctly. Then, you decided to abandon the big city and pursue a career as a youtuber. I think that maybe saved your life. Now, on April 20th 2024 our son Robert Foehr was taken off life support and passed away at age 33 1/2. He was living in Hamilton at the end and was a heavy drug user for about 18 years. On the 15th of April he came to St Joseph hospital VSA and with no oxygen for 20 min. He died of drug overdose and cardiac arrest. I can tell you it's devastating and I have been prepping for years for this. I felt he would go around 40 but it happened even quicker. Our daughter was very close to her big brother and she is totally devastated. My wife and I are on bereavement leave and your video is fantastic therapy.
Wife and I sat through the movie in its entirety. Well done sir. Our Lab loved the nature sounds also, 4.5 woofs out of 5.
Excellent!! I loved every single minute of this episode & can't wait for next episode..Summer 😊❤
28:51 Edward Abbey, Desert Solitaire - one of my all-time favorites.
Do you know Jon, watching your videos reminds me of the show Mutual of Omaha Wild Kingdom. I watched that show when I was a kid. I don’t know if you remember that you might not be old enough thanks for the great content and I wish you success doing what you love.
Ohhhhhhhhhh yeees bro I remember mutual of Omaha Wild Kingdom.....I loooooooved it so much. Yea mon! And I am from St Croix USVI ... almost 50...now living in St Lucia my indigenous home.
Wondrous cinematography - thanks for all your attention to the details.
I’m 48 years old and watching your videos inspires me to get out and live a life before it is too late. I just want to say I appreciate the time that you take to video the experience to let guys and women out there know what they’re missing if they don’t get off their ass.
Keep up the good work and adventure on.
34:27 looks like a gopro bottom left....maybe?
Geepers Creepers. It is probably gonna take me a few weeks to watch this entire thing!
It was definitely worth it; bring on Summer!
You've created a wonderful channel man. I believe it took some hard decisions to make, anyway now all your viewers are living through your adventures including myself . I highly admire your work and appreciate it. Thanks a lot for the opportunity to see all this beauty with you. You make it look easy though it's not as easy as it seems.
I’ve been following for a few years. I’m 1:36 into the quit my job episode. I paused it to join the membership and post this message. I tip my cap to you young man! Please keep moving forward.
Fantastic, when we started we didn't know how much we would watch- but when it was over we were ready for more. Just perfect!!
Hey man! Your videos are awesome! I love the unexplored lakes the fishing especially and your vibes! You teach me a lot about the land and etiquette! I look forward to watching more of your adventures! Be safe and take care out there!
I've followed you through this whole time. Thank you, Jon. 72 year old gma from Oklahoma watching !
