YT reminded me that the channel is 7 years old today...so grateful for your response to the first episode of the Trippin' series that started last week which recaps this youtube journey and my first year of full-time camping (155 days along with behind the scenes pieces). That series will continue throughout the year and the plan is to release one episode per season. The next episodes are still in progress. Regular trips will continue to be posted in the meantime :)
Happy birthday. Keep it going dude!
Congratulations on seven years! Here’s to many more. 🎉
keep going john, from indonesia 🫡
Congratulations on your 7 years of success I'm so happy that I came across your channel you are one of my favorites 😊👍
Happy birthday to your channel! Can’t wait to watch this one!
Your work is a blessing to a former canoe trekker .. now in a wheelchair. Thank-you!
💚
Beautiful beyond words! And no flies!
@@kathleenanderson5030no bugs is a huge plus!
Remember it's Spring (aka: mating season) That's just how otters mate. The male grabs the female by the scruff of the neck (she's tougher there and it doesn't hurt her) and holds on before he mounts her. She's actually the one dragging him around while he hangs on. LOL. They'll wrestle and roll and play both on land and off while he holds on tight. If you review the footage you may observe papa otter's, ahem, red rocket a couple of times. Aaah...love in Lake Superior.🥰
Exactly what I was thinking. Mating season. I've seen Mallards in mating season and the female is brutalized....but, that's how God made it.
Lol thanks for the info, very interesting. Crazy kids 😂
@@mamapretz You betcha. 👍
Yep. I was laughing as he was thinking it was a fight.
Yeah my first thought was it was just courtship. I once witnessed two bald eagles one chasing the other before going into a talon clasped spiral down to the water before breakinging apart and resuming their chase over the trees. Now I know it's just a courtship ritual and not a fight as I originally thought 13 years ago.
Thanks for those 7 years Jon. Always a pleasure to watch your work.
The sound design, editing, narrative, shot selection, transitions, signature music theme, "B" roll and epic wildlife footage, and obviously the content really showcase your talent and honor your vision Jon. Very well done!
What would be nice is that you win an award from national geographic society.
Every frame is a real work of art! You are a master of your craft, continue to delight us with your talent! 👏🎨
Making this Saturday morning so much better. You are a true artist with pixels of light and sound waves. And it’s been amazing to see your channel and your skill set grow. You were not born with these gifts. You mastered them with passion.
Thanks so much Shawn :)
The cinematography on this episode is just dazzling. Great work!
It's become abundantly clear that you're a plant for BIG NAAN's marketing arm with your breathtaking camera work and soothing, genuine, hilarious perspective. Do I eat more naan now? Yes I do. Do I crush your content knowing full well I'm being gamed by a naan lobbyist? I most certainly do. Bravo Jon Naan Jovi.
😅
I won't even bother trying to deny it
Your camera work has become next-level amazing lately, it's as if the viewer is sitting next to you in the canoe or flying by on the back of a bald eagle. Thanks for taking us along!
Thank you!!
Congratulations on 7 years! I just love your cinematography and you inspire me to get outdoors. So much so that we’ve booked a full summer camping trip! Nowhere quite so outdoors though.
National Geographic doesn’t have content as good as this.
I spent several years of early childhood on the south shores of Lake Superior and I could swear I've felt the region calling me back my entire adult life. Seeing it through your eyes brings back so many good memories for me, and I always learn so much from your videos. Thank you so much for doing this.
29:50 So cool to see the Goldeneye's courtship dance. This was my first time seeing it!
How many followers bought better TVs just to enjoy Lost Lakes, Jim Baird and Xander 🤚
😂
Well said
Saved this one for an early Sunday morning watch with my first cup of coffee. Not disappointed - a great watch. You seem to get the most scenic video. Beautiful!!
Thanks for explaining that orange color on the beach. I really took a likin' to it.
I sure love those moose droppings too! Thank goodness they collect them and sell them in grocery stores too!
The drone shots in this one are jaw-dropping. Beautiful video.
Awesome - Lost Lakes night tonight!!
Thank you Jon. My mother and I watch your adventures together. She says they are the best part of her week. You really have a special talent and love for nature. May the sun always shine upon your face and may the wind always be at your back.
Have to say I’m loving this transition to a birding channel. 😂 Congrats on seven years and here’s to many more. 🎉
Spring is my favorite time to paddle. The landscape is so varied. The solitude is guaranteed. Another great video. I miss that part of Canada and happy you bring it right into my livingroom. Thank you.
Wow! Another masterpiece. Lost Lakes never misses. So excited to watch this upcoming canoeing season! Thanks for this phenomenal channel! 👏🏻👏🏻
7 years deserves a new boat. What a beaut. Thank you for making incredible content.
Here in Texas, the eclipse was total and it was awesome! We too had cloud coverage, then when the eclipse went total dark, the clouds parted. Sweet moment to remember.
Congratulations on the 7 years!
I have to say your videos, the cinematography, the editing, sound...are next level! This is like watching a Nat Geo film. Its stunning and we need to find a way to get you to a Mil subs or have you make videos for Nat Geo.
Your videos are never anything but the BEST.
You're a master of excellence in quality and quantity.
Age and mounting arthritis have brought our own trips to a halt, basically...but we fully enjoy ALL OF YOURS.
When time might allow, try and do another with your own dad again.😊
Life is such a rush. I envy you. Being able to slow it down and take it all in without the 9 to 5 bullshit…good on you. We all live vicariously through you
I don't usually comment on TH-cam, but your TH-cam channel has become by far my favorite channel in the last few years.
Every time I long for nature and wilderness, your videos quench my wanderlust at least a little. In 2 weeks I'm finally going to Canada again; until then your videos will sweeten my anticipation.
Best regards from Germany
Thank you so much! Hope you have a wonderful trip 🍁
Thanks Jon!
We were right in the path of totality for the eclipse and also watched it over one of our local lakes here in WNY. Fished in the morning and spent the rest of the day waiting for the clouds to break. About 20 minutes before totality they finally did. I'm a cynic by nature but it was actually quite humbling. Glad I got the chance to see it.
That moment you went "oh no.." and then switched to the drones shots of the ice. Magical.
We have watched your videos when you see the northern lights and how much that means to you. Last night was our first time seeing them in Montana and the experience was something we will never forget. Amazing. We just wanted to share. We appreciate everything the two of you do to bring us great videos.
Happy to see you recover from ur knee injury. Look forward to more videos. Be well and stay positive!
This is just what I need to recover after torturing myself watching the Leafs play. Phenomenal as always Jon, congrats on 7 amazing years and hopefully many many more.
The Leafs....so hard to watch - unlike Lost Lakes
Thank you for picking up that trash. I walk beaches and camp and pick up trash too. Someone has to pick up after those who don't care. And that shot of the geese flying above the canopy was glorious.
Only 15 minutes in and already awesome with incredible scenery, eagles, otter and the rare Ice duck! Just love your videos. They can never be long enough for me.
I’ve been watching you for years Jon. you’ve gone from someone I used to laugh at in his naïve mistakes- to a top notch experienced traveler, narrator, camper, paddler, filmographer. Wishing you the best.
Congratulations on your 7 years of success I'm so happy to have come across your channel you are one of my favorites if you see this message twice the first time I tried to send this did not go through😊👍
Folks don't realize how quickly waves build on Great Lakes and can become too big to handle. Smart move staying put. Better safe than sorry. Thanks for taking us along
John you constantly remind me that there is a world out there worth exploring. Love your content can't wait to try my hand at documenting my own adventures!
Found this channel a few days ago. I love it. It is quickly becoming my favorite channel.
The Canadian Ice Duck (Canard Glace Canadensis) is classified as extremely endangered (they may be extinct by end of season). Please don't handle them if at all possible do a no contact release, and report all sightings to your local conservation authority.
😆
I also bought a Prospecteur 15 over the winter. Really enjoyed my first trip with it. Looking forward to seeing how you get along with yours. Cheers 🍻
Congrats on 7 years, and congrats on that great footage of the Golden-crowned Kinglet. One doesn't always see that red in the middle of the yellow, much less capture it on "film".
I've been watching you with my youngest son these past many years. He's now heading off on his own. He messaged me to say you just released a new video. Made me realize I wasn't a member. I am now!
Thank you for sharing your trips and stories. My son and I are closer because we sat with you on so many journeys.
Sincerely, BJ from Maine. (Practically Canada 😊)
PS... We were on a well known trout lake here in Maine during the eclipse. Timony Lake. In the path of totality! Amazing for sure.
Truly appreciate that BJ! Cheers to you both
It doesn't seem as if 7 years have passed. Thank you very much for all the videos and to many more. Safe travels..peace🛶
Great sunsets, especially Day 5. And seeing both the otters and the beavers is really cool. Thanks again!
Jon, your photos are amazing. It's easy to see the love that you have for what you do. Thanks for sharing your passion for nature.
Catching and cooking the fish is my favorite part. 😂more of that please. 😂😂😂
Excellent video. Thanks for taking us along!
It always amazes me how a Great Lake can be tropical blue!
Thank you for bringing us along
One word, Beautiful. Thanks 👍👍 Jon!!
What's your twig stove name 📛.?
Thank you! I bought it from a small shop in Manitoba (Yukon Mini model which they now have in titanium which is less than half the weight):

Loooooooong to watch!!! Thanks for making them!!!
Hey John, the cinematography of the ice sheet? The "Oh No," moment... TOP NOTCH! So well done!
Another beautiful calming video. Thanks
Another hour plus of greatness. Thank you‼️
This takes my breath away. The beauty 💙
Gorgeous shots Jon, thanks for taking us along.
The otters were so amazing! The one eating the fish was annoyed with you, but just wanted to eat, while trying to get away😂 The momma otter was also too funny and entertaining! Amazing footage!
Another gorgeous video, cheers!
You are a natural in front of the camera Jon. Another splendid trip masterfully documented. Thanks for taking us along.
Beautiful! Another amazing masterpiece! Thank you for sharing
Congrats on the new canoe! Beautiful getting out on Lake Superior! Love that lake!
Hi Jon.. Another Steller video... your videography and production is award winning.. I loved the transition of winter to spring on northern lake superior. No bugs was a M>A>S>S>I>V>E.. treat
You are living the dream! So looking forward to your journeys!
Good Lad. All is good. Thanks for sharing.
Lake Baikal. Enough said. God bless you. ❤ your content, please keep them coming.
love your videos! fantastic!
Oh Jon!! Brilliant, beautiful. Yet another outstanding piece of cinematography. ❤
I love the use of the drone. It gives you a true perspective of the distance and how small in relation to the lake that canoe really is.
Thank you for the videos brother.
And another great adventure😃 seeing them all. Thanks Jon
Incredible. The editing has become professional grade top notch stuff. Some of the most interesting content I've seen anywhere. It just keeps getting better each time you post. Thank you for all of it.
Another amazing journey and thank you for sharing. It took me a couple days to enjoy and finish watching. Cheers to the next!
what a pleasure to watch , as always
Jon, I love your personality and humor. The skits you put in the videos are always a treat!
I'm curious though, could you show us how you plan your food for a trip like this? Recipes, process of drying or freeze drying food, packing, ect?
Beautiful scenery. Love snow and ice formation. Thanks for taking us along with you. God Bless and be safe. ❤❤❤❤❤
Congratulations on your 7 year milestone! Its been a wonderful journey! To many more adventures and trips to come! 🥂
A special time take a trip for sure. Great videography once again Jon.
Enjoyed like always. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Jon for being with us all this time. thank you for your humanity and love.
Fantastic as always 👍
Beautiful photography, sounds of nature…another great video!
YES! Can’t wait for this one.
Congrats on 7 years mate! 🎉
Ahhhhhh, Nice. Back on the lake with Johnterio. That was along winter my friend.
Fantastic video once again!
Looking forward to your 8th year, congratulations!
Great trip, beautiful views. Can’t wait to see more
You really capture the beauty of the places! Really really good stuff
Spectacular as Always!
Awesome ice out trip! Great stuff!
Awesome Video Jon. Breathtaking
its good to see you john. whenever i come to youtube and theres new lost lakes it feels like xmas. instant watch everytime.
I truly love your videos. I have been to Superior a number of times and it holds such magic. You really capture it! Congrats on the 7 years!
Especially this time of year, a great trip involves a lot of good decisions. You aced it!
What a great start to your 2024 canoe tripping season. I can never get enough of otters, just majestic creatures 😊
Outstanding video! Loved the moose droppings parody. When we see your plans for your trip and then see, with the drone, the immensity of the spaces (yourself next to that ice sheet) in which you’re present, it is mind boggling how truly grand and great Lake Superior is. Thanks for sharing another amazing journey!
Omh, i love the footage of the ducks doing their little dance😂 so cute! Seems like a maiting ritual.
