Great video and channel young man. You have earned my like and subscription
Look and learn old man
Thank you so much fartface!
😂
@@LostLakes 😂
lol
Wow! Thanks so much for the shout out, Jon. Hope you enjoyed the read, and what an honour that you read it in such a beautiful wild area.
Well deserved Kevin, you showcased the impacts of nature on the human experience beautifully and it hit home. I told you I was overwhelmed seeing my name in that list and for everyone's sake I cut out my blubbering but I was very moved by it and by your dedication: "To Jonathan, Keep up the enthusiasm, you are making a difference out there." Hit me right in the feels, thanks man
Just rewatched this one and, paid more attention to the book quote/ clips. Jon it is so true you are really making a difference to so many folks like me. Interesting how we all have different takes on the pandemic. For me, it's the sad personal loss of family, coworkers, and friends. Some innocent victims, some through reckless risk-taking who really bought into the lies and conspiracy theories. Health care providers that you'd think should've known better but still fell for the BS coming from the con artists. On selfish level, I really missed skating with my hockey buds for most of 3yrs. Now, even though I'm only going into work a few days month I still find it tough getting any sleep the night before going to the hospital. But on the positive side of all that bad news, I was elated to discover LL and, all other backcountry paddling content your channel brought to my way. So thanks for that!
The level of effort required to capture third person shots of yourself canoeing hasn’t gone unnoticed. You have a way of capturing the serenity of nature that you rarely see on youtube. Beautiful video as always.
Edit: Forgot to mention that storm was intense! Glad you’re ok
Really appreciate that!
Jon, I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking that your movie making just keeps on getting better, and it really is appreciated bud. With this being the last canoe adventure of the year, I'm totally excited about your winter camping still to come, hope we get to see more of Erin too. All the very best for all future adventures.
Thanks a lot Dave! Two short winter camping trips in the bank already (one with Erin) :)
I second that, well said
Absolutely Amazing!
I think you probably need to think about a dedicated river canoe with more rocker. A Prospector type boat will make your life much easier.
After 4 years of watching your channel, it really is getting to another level. I may have to rewatch some trips like this through the winter to get to spring.
Really appreciate it!
I seriously don’t know how your videos don’t have like 20 million views. Another stunning one Jon, beautiful job, amazing cinematography. Thank you so much. Late fall trips are definitely not for the faint of heart.
Thanks so much BW!
He'll get there. One of these beauties will hit the algorithm hard.
People who haven’t been just don’t get it
Fall is my favorite time to camp. Especially late fall. No bug, no crowds, and lots of wildlife. The weather is the weather. Cold and blustery can be dealt with.
I love Fall as my favorite season but for camping I agree, it's nicer to have a warm bed to crawl into at the end of the cold, wet weather day the Fall always brings. Great video once again. As a truck driver I've been through Long Lac many times. Used to be one of my rest stops and I always looked out on the lake thinking that would be great to paddle one day.
I think a person’s favorite season has a lot to do with their latitude. My favorite season for everything-paddling, fishing, camping, photography-is fall, BUT I live on the North Carolina coast. I suspect our fall is pretty similar to your summer, except our insects never rest. I’ve only recently stumbled upon your channel and I’ve been binging it ever since. Love your work!!
Very true. Thanks a lot Rob!
The power of creation ripples through those jaggering cliffs as the turning tamaracks casts a golden glow across rolling shores that offers protection or food sources for the creature's who claim this home. With true spirit of falls first castings of moody weather made it's grand entrance in blustering winds as lightening dashes through the darken sky to intensify the cold palletizing rain drops that exits leaving the physical body worn for ware that screams for warmth of crackling fire as good food be cooked to nourish the soul for the next epic adventure around the bend.
Extremely well done John!
Superb film work and editing, not to mention the high quality recorded sound, and accompanying background music. Nothing ruins good video like bad audio they say. Your story telling, as others have mentioned, gets better every time. Keep on taking us on your journeys.
Very much appreciated Rod!
I always look forward to your presentations. I watch many canoeing videos, but yours stand out for photographic quality, interesting narrative, and a unique appreciation for the natural world. Thanks again.
Thanks so much Kevin :)
You’re videos are amazing man, they really are. Perfectly filmed, narrated, and edited. Truly an experience to watch, thank you for taking us along on all these trips and still taking the time to “get the good shot”
Appreciate that so much!
Beautiful. The fast forward sequence was a nice touch. The storm looked like you were really moving. All the seasons have their charms; there's something about the fall colours mixed with storm fog or mists that is enchanting. You capture it well. Great episode.
Much appreciated Bryan!
Thank you Jon for taking me places I could only dream of. When you said your heart was beating fast in that storm, I assure you, mine was faster worrying for your safety. Waiting for that winter wonderland for sure!
It's the " Pumpkin Spicers " that love the fall while their significant other is out battling the elements getting ready for Winter.
Great video Jon
I put this video in my top three favorites from you Jon. Very well done. I was looking for a spot on shore to take shelter myself, I felt like I was right there with you. Spectacular video work with the drone, such beautiful landscape. I wouldn't pick fall as my favorite either, I would say mid to late spring or early summer. Just seems like a lot of good fishing at that time. Keep up the great work and stay safe my friend.
Thank you so much William!
Jon - I only just found your channel a week ago and I have been mainlining your videos ever since. I was born and raised in NWO and we moved to north of Toronto when I was 17. I’ve missed it every single day of my life since and I can’t seem to get back often enough. Your videos give me a sense of calm and longing all at once and I want to thank you and Erin for every minute of content you put out. Your combined passions for the life and each other are inspirational. I am envious of you both, and until I can semi retire and get back to the north, I will patiently wait for your next video to get my fix. Thank you both!
Truly appreciate that!
Speaking of books, in one of your previous videos you were reading Adam Shoalts. As a result, I picked up "Beyond The Trees" at the library and ended up not being able to put it down. Just got his "A History of Canada In 10 Maps" to read next. Have several of your other favorites already on my bookshelf, so it's wonderful to get like-minded recommendations. Thank you!
Awesome! Love his books
I am one of those who say Fall is their favorite season to camp. I like the the lack of bugs, the lack of Spring mud, and the crisp evenings. As you point out though, my memory is of those perfect few days in Fall and I blissfully ignore the rest of it which is usually quite foul. Your professional camper perspective is once again right on the money. Another great video. Thank you.
Much appreciated Vince :)
Dude you deserve a million viewers your content is top notch. I could really throw this on for entertainment
Really appreciate that!
Part meditation, part adventure. Loads of beautiful videography, music, and personal reflections. This is Lost Lakes.
💚💚
Think this was my favourite video yet - crazy weather! That moment of getting off the water and sheltering from the wind in the trees must have been so sweet 😁
Much appreciated! Sure was :)
And the eagle flies o'erhead and sees......Loving the drone shots, they allow us to see what we always imagined... the birds' point of view. Lovely!
"Superheroes.... show us how a single person can make the world a better place. Superheroes protect the voiceless and inspire us to do better"...Your video has done just that, are you a superhero? You might be. Thanks for this.
Hahah 💚💚
I can never get enough of the scenery and closeups. However that segment where you were caught in a tough situation just shows how nature always has the upper hand. Makes you wonder how those voyageurs just kept on going and going and before them the native peoples.
I know, it's so hard to imagine how civilizations endured before all our modern comforts
I’m such a fan of your channel…. I’d even watch a 30 minute video of you just sitting on your couch, eating a bag of Doritos. No commentary needed pal…. And, my parents had resided in Longlac for over 40 years now. I went to high school in Geraldton. I love going back home to visit… Long Lake is where I learned to paddle, and be comfortable in rough waters.
Hahah thanks so much man! Hell of a fetch on that lake for building wind/waves
Another great video! You have inspired me so much I bought a canoe! It's a Wenonah Kingfisher, I got it used for a very good price. Thanks for the fishing and gear videos I binged watched them all yesterday. I will be crushing the barbs on my hooks for sure.
Love to hear that...the canoe and especially the barbs. Thanks a lot Lisa and enjoy the boat!
You are going to be glad you went right for a Kevlar canoe. I have a Wenonah MN 2, and a Spirit 2. Had a Souris River solo canoe but not anymore. Who cares about anything anyone has I know, but I just want to tell you from experience paddling and portaging any aluminum or fiberglass canoes after being with Kevlar canoe is night and day different. I’m sure there are newer lighter stronger composites now as well. Wenonah builds capable, strong, excellent paddling canoes. You are going to enjoy it.
@@mikeb5430 Thank you, but actually it's Tuf-weave flex not Kevlar. I saw nice used Kevlar but it was out of my price range. I don't have to worry about portages where I live in Northern California.
I got ya. I’m sorry for my not thought out well comment. Haha. Glad whenever anyone finds a deal though, and that I don’t think that tuf weave material is more than 15 pounds heavier than the Kevlar on that one??I hope you will enjoy that canoe! I live in Northern MN and always assume people are gona have to carry the boat and gear a lot. They are awesome to paddle.
Epic! Its like watching a movie! Great filming and editing, very nice and those white capes in a canoe :0
Much appreciated!
Cannot wait to see this! Thanks Jon
Much agreed on the season. Fall is most dangerous for hypothermia. People don't prepare for rain and winter temps at night.
I agree with your take on Fall camping. It's the one time of year where, when camping or doing anything semi-strenuous outside, I find myself weirdly hot and cold at the same time. It's also easier to become dehydrated under those conditions.
Those squalls are no joke. Last two weeks of spring through to the first two weeks of fall is for camping other than winter camping. Nice trip.
Lovely. That bad weather looked super intense! You're doing people a service to show it though, and how fast things can shift leaving you scrambling for a safe place to take out. Thanks for sharing yet another beautiful video. 💜
Thanks a bunch Andrea 💚
That lake was just beautiful! The whole video was beautiful. Thanks Cheers
Love how the trees root on the rock ledges! Thanks for the great video!
The cinematography in this video is insane, combined with the music choices. I love it.
💚💚
New pants day!!!!! They look great Jon, slick colour and style!
Great vid! Love how you fixed the little trees under your hammock before you left. Many people wouldn’t have cared enough to bother.
💚
Fall ? It's hit and miss for sure. I love all the seasons . Thank-you for the small sounds of nature that most over "look" while filming. Doing that you capture the essence of camping .
Spring is the best if its not too wet not too hot
Summer is the best if youre spending it in the pool or in the shade
Autumn is the best if its not too wet not too windy
Winter is the best if its not too blizzardy, too cold or too high snow
It is what it is
i love november... not too cold and hardly any sun thats the best for me... just taking walks in a light overcoat through rusty lanes... unfortunately this november has been hot and sunny as hell
I like how you leave your campsite the way you found it. That’s how I was raised and my mom was a Girl Scout leader for 25 years. 🙂
💚
Another beautiful video. I agree that it's correct to, "raise an eyebrow about fall camping." I can take the cold, even the wetness, but the short days with long nights are a drag. Typically, I fall asleep at 6:00 PM and then feel ready to go at 2:00 AM with nearly six more hours of darkness staring me in the face.
Thank you! Hahah exactly... so much darkness
The fall definitely dished it out and that lightening storm was scary, even knowing you’d made it through. I love the reverence you give nature. I feel the same way and when you propped the trees back and thank the fish after touching them with wet hands, I feel a kinship as a Canadian and as if I’m out there. This time, I was happy it wasn’t me but the beauty of nature you’ve captured again along with all the edits is breathtakingly gorgeous through and through. Thank you so much for taking us along and making these. What an amazing country we live in. I love it even more than I could possibly love it each time I see things I’ve never seen myself, through your humbly shared experience. Thanks again!
💯✨
I really appreciate that! 💚
You were living the Old Sailors adage
“Any port in a storm !”
👍🏻🇨🇦👍🏻
I find these videos fascinating, in my part of the world winter is just a little bit colder than summer.
I’d love to one day visit the Great Lakes and do some camping.
Keep up the good work, it’s awesome to see such an amazing part of the world captured so well.
Thanks mate👍
Really appreciate that!
Well I just stumbled across your channel, love the Hot tent content! Liked, subscribed & notification bell... I am totally binge watching your fantastic content right now! I completely dig what you are doing here Bro. And I REALLY dig the insight you put forth. Thank you sincerely. P.s. my sister's name is Erin, Female version of the "Horse Whisperer". 54 years old, and has a special "bond" with them. My dream would be to do winter camping in Montana on horseback! Bucket list.
Thanks so much Mark! More hot tenting just around the corner :)
Great video, with the beauty of nature and the art of your filming you have mastered RUclips. “Not all those who wander are lost.” - Bilbo Baggins
P.s. Those prints didn't look like lynx but more like a little bear..... the pigeon toe threw me off. However I was not there! Enjoy your adventures kind sir!
I'm with you, Lee Graham. I'm thinking bear.
My understanding is that bear track would likely have claw marks, five toes, and a more elongated print on the hind paw. But I stand to be corrected...the pad does look kinda wide
unbelievable how fast that lake changed on you. Scary stuff right there.Way to go Jon
Hi Jon Your videos just keep getting better , such a rugged remote wilderness, nasty storm front you had , but such an epic landscape. .thanks for bringing us with you and may you always be safe, Must be difficult filming these videos . I remember the video of your canoe adventure to that island camp . excellent video Jon Thanks for bring us really enjoyed this
Thanks so much Sue!
Excellent. Once again you impressed me with your video, thank you Lost lakes keep up the good work and stay safe!
Another fantastic video Jon. I suspect this will be one of your last fall trips before winter. I drove up to Thunder Bay a few weeks ago and had to smile when as I passed over many of the rivers you have canoed and featured on past videos. Northern Ontario is still my favorite.
Thanks a lot IM! Got a weather window to get one more week-long trip in but I'm into the hot tent now. Endless trips to take up here and those drives inspire many of them :)
Thank you for this video and all your videos. I spent a lot of time in northern Ontario about 40 years ago back in the early '80's. Thank you for taking us along on your trip. I have missed it and it was good to get back there. Safe travels to you and yours. Thanks again.
as one of your French Canadian neighbours in Quebec, I approve of your camp style poutine
Hahah thank you for your blessing
I'm with you in many ways when it comes to Fall/Autumn, although early Spring here can be as bad and sometimes worse.
Path of the Paddle was my religious moment, 40 years ago now.
Another superb film young elf, Longlac is a very Tolkienesque name, suitable me thinks.
Thanks brother! Can be very true about early spring but at least the days are getting longer rather than shorter :)
wow Day 3 what a storm. got off the lake in the nick of time. Going down wind is great until you get swamped. Glad it all worked out. I have driven through Longlac but have never ventured on the lake. Might be time to give it a go.
Many thanks for including the approximate location. As someone who spends time in the U.P. of Michigan, it's nice to know what's available just a few hours North. You don't have to worry about people from Wisconsin invading your sacred land - we've all got multiple OWI/DUI's and like to travel with loaded firearms - so The Crown wouldn't let us in anyway.
Weather never tends to cooperate with one's plans. Another great water travel adventure. 👌
Jon does it again. Makes old drainoed wish his life was different than it is. I’m so jealous of you sometimes, and it’s my own fault for not just going out and doing stuff I really want to do and experience. The nature calls me and I ignore it too often. You make me want to be a better me. Thanks buddy
💚💚 Don't worry buddy, it can be hard to make time for and I'm sure you're juggling lots of other great priorities
@@LostLakes thanks brother❤️
You have become a master at your craft, which is understanding how to frame nature for the Livingroom. Your vids are therapy to my soul.
Truly appreciate that Ron 💚
Greetings from Wisconsin, USA. I've heard of poutine but never had it. Sounds really good. Beautiful and challenging canoe trip. The foggy misty morning was especially pretty. Your videography and narration are excellent. A real treat.
Thanks a lot Judy!
Your photography , editing , music choice and content are absolutely superb !
So enjoyable to watch your videos whether solo , with Erin or the guys.
Thank you!! 💚
agree, beautifully done
Fall is the season for landscape artists. That's why I love it. Down here in Missouri it's a little more gentle than what you have to deal with. I did spend two years in northern Minnesota and tamarack season was my favorite time to be out painting and enjoying the color. Thanks for another epic video!
Another great one, Jon. Favorite shots: the mug sinking into the moss and the rain pouring off the tarp.
Jon, I have to say that your camera skills have really taken a turn to the spectacular. They show a tranquility that is relaxing. The background music, and especially the night shots are awesome. I'm a rookie astronomer, so when I see the norther lights displayed or the incredible starry night shots it makes me pull out the telescope. cheers. keep up the great work. Congrats BTY
Really appreciate that! 💚
I love Fall and it's unpredictability. Bring on winter!
I was expecting to see Xander and Max enjoying their coffee with hot chocolate on this channel lol
Nice - something to watch while waiting for the first ice to thicken here in Estonia
No doubt, you are perhaps the best outdoorsman film maker. Your videography is great, and your narration is better than almost anyone else's. In fact, I can't think of anyone who does it better. You, Xander, Maxim, Simon A Bloke in the Woods, and Andy at Kent Survival are my go to when it comes to watching outdoor/camping videos. Oh and Foresty Forest. He's like a mountain goat! LOL! All are always entertaining, often informative, and always satisfying. Stay safe, healthy and warm.
That's generous but I truly appreciate it! 💚💚
THX Jon!!! I always have to stop what I’m doing when a new Lost Lakes video comes out. Awesome CHEERS!!!😊
Thanks as always Ian!
Love your videos, they transport me to a peaceful serene place away from the madness of the reality that is Miami Florida. Thank you for your time and effort in bringing these videos to those of us that don't live in such a beautiful place.
Great video, really like the drone video showing the larger territory. Interesting comments about the fall weather camping. Very intense weather you endured, takes courage to go through it. Thanks for the reference to Bill Mason's documentary - Waterwalker.
Thanks Jeff! It's a classic
I remember reading about Poutine years ago, got a recipe and Robin and I made it. We double fried the homemade French fries, she made gravy from veal and lamb. Yea good stuff. Anyway, excellent editing on this video, great music choices. I'm a Spring fan myself, love the birds. Thanks for sharing.
Yum! Thanks a bunch Walt! I really love spring and the birds too
Great adventure Jon, I'd be right there with the whole way. I live for that
I'm French Canadian and the quality of your video makes it fine for you to call whatever you had "poutine" ;) Cheers!
Hahah thank you! 💚
Thank you for the example you set of no trace camping and good sportsmanship. This was a really good trip. I like the close-ups of the birds, the moss and lichens, and scenes around camp. don’t apologize, you’re not bothering me just hanging around camp. It’s all interesting and fun and you photograph it so well. I better stop before you get the big head. Thanks again, Dave Purkerson
Hahah much appreciated Dave!
First video I saw with you was fishing the ship wreck with the Lakers and fleeing off watching the ice move, one of my fav videos in general, I enjoy the hour or longer videos, I enjoy zooming in and stopping it looking at the rock formations, wildlife, the trees and what you talk about. The last 3 months I'm well over 50 hours of listening to you and the background music and nature, I've lost my mother from lung cancer in 96 days of finding out. I'm worried I'm going to run out of new videos but I remember instantly. I'm going watch them all over again. Thank you for giving me peace at the end of the day when I'm going thru hell, it's your skills timeand knowledge saving me. Thank you
Truly appreciate that and I'm so sorry about your Mom...hang in there
Beautiful. Thank you for bringing us along!
The amazing footage coupled with the relaxing music is just spot on. You also have a great balance of talking and not. Just a really great channel you have put together. The family and I are retiring for the night and watching this one beforehand. Better than any movie. You actually gain something from this. Thank you. Truly great work.
Nice video again, keeping my mind drifting away for a moment from civilisation
Awesome! You really utilize your area and surrounding areas. That weather was rough but your Lake Nipigon darkness paddle had me sketched out.
I enjoy every chance to see you out in a canoe rather than ice and snow. Thanks for keeping “summer” alive a little longer …🇨🇦
Thanks Jason, one 7-day paddle left to come still :)
Having weather like that is all part of the experience, priceless 👍👍
Beautiful trip Jon. Definitely squeezed my coffee cup a little tighter when you got hammered by that storm! You continue to elevate your craft and carve out a unique place for yourself among modern Canadian wilderness adventurers.
Thank you so much!
Awesome video. Personally I'm most at peace in the wild
Thank you! I really enjoyed the wonderful footage of your outing! 👏👏👏🙂
I love to see the hole camping cooking and eating part slowed down . thanks for slowing the camping part and making it longer.
Appreciate the feedback :)
So nice to see the animals not interfered with by humans too much ..great film. Thanks
Thank You for another awesome video. Your camera/drone work is the best out there in You Tube land! BTW, I'm from Ohio and love Poutine. I was alone for Thanksgiving this year and that was my Dinner. Fries (twice fried in Duck fat) chopped up smoked turkey leg, cheese curds and gravy, with oyster dressing on the side.
Mmmmmm....thanks so much Greg!
Kevin Callan's book is quite interesting; he gets downright personal with it, like sitting at a campfire with him, just listening. And, he immortalized you in his story too!
Yeah it's a great piece on how nature weaves through some of our lives. I had no idea my name was in there so when I got to that part I was quite overwhelmed to find myself in that list of people
@@LostLakes Well, Kevin is not a stupid man. He knows you deserve the recognition (just don't get cocky! lol). Experience comes from learning from the experts, and practicing more and more. Old farts did it with less, and heavier. You're doing ok.
@@BuckMckawtheotherone hahah rest assured, I don't think I'll ever be an expert
@@LostLakes Even experts admit their still learning. That's what makes them experts.
Awesome as always Jon, thank you.
I agree that fall can be very rough weather. On my 3 week solo trip this fall I had temps in the low 20s F. I would not go without a wood stove. This was a lovely video ! Your skill is much appreciated and Thank You!
Really enjoyed this! You have a knack for storytelling and you weave that beautifully into your videos. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Much appreciated!
Johnny boy! It’s been a while. Glad to see you doing well and adventuring on. Brutal conditions mixed with calm beauty. Well done! Ad always, thanks for sharing and be well and stay safe. Cheers!
The Snail
Hey Snail! Thanks man :)
Beautiful trip, Jon! Watching this brings back fond memories of Alaska many years ago. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us!
Agree with Dave Mayers who said your film making skills are improving, I thought that early on in this adventure, too. Thanks Jon, I always look forward to the time I can get to sit and watch your adventures. Cheers!
indeed, this is becoming my favourite channel
Fall is the best, best fishing best temps!! No bugs
And that lodge is northern woods lodge, open for hunting season now
I live just down the shore from you in Silver Bay Minnesota. I love late fall, the parks, trails and lakes are empty of people. The caveat being the weather can change in literally hours but that's the price you pay living next to beautiful lake Superior.
Ty for another Amazing Lost Lakes adventure. Showing Zander he needs to step up his game. Love your channel and all the content you share.
Hahah Xander's at the top of the game :) Thank you!
No kidding, you're capturing beautiful scenery, really enjoying your adventures.
National Jongraphic... Absolutely amazing, thank you very very much brother!
LOL!
