YES!!!!!!! Canadian sports are back on tv! Who needs the NHL. We have down river mushroom racing. Please do this every Saturday night. All you need is a catchy theme song that's easy to whistle.
Great to see you outdoors during this crisis.im hiking the PCT and and they’re telling us to get off to go home to populated areas where we would have more exposure to the virus. Point in case, had I gone home, I would have been exposed to the virus like my family has been. Now they’re all quarantined. Have fun and enjoy nature’s beauty like I’m doing.
Sorry to hear that Jerry....I hope you guys are doing ok. Totally hear you, it's frustrating. Camping is completely banned in Ontario now. A safe, easy outing like this with maximum social distancing is forbidden but you can mill about in Walmart and touch everything.
What a little piece of heaven you’s found there. Those hammocks were friggin amazing. They looked so comfortable. Just amazing shots of the river and ice and great competition on the river. Always the best with you’s. Thank you so much.🥰
Backcountry Angling Ontario upon rewatching it, yup it’s a crossbill. Didn’t noticed the crossed bill before. Both species have the red with slight yellow and white wing bars. They can look very similar. I guess size would be the best way to differentiate them without a really good look at em.
Have you noticed how much cleaner the sky is looking. I noticed your phone was located just below where your beer was resting, hum.! The bees and birds were all stirred up in Niagara today as the temp was +14 .! Spring is here and moving north. Thank s for the updated review of the AMOK"s, they do seem to be the top of the line. I will have to save a little for one of those, but one day.! Thank you 's again with thumbs up.!
Thanks donnyboy! I can imagine the difference in cities. Up here it's always looking pretty clear lol. Would kill for some warmth. We've got a wicked blizzard today. 20cm expected, could be 40 😔
Yet another beautiful movie to cheer us up! And by the way, you're welcome to visit us in Scandinavia anytime :-) I guess you'll find it much like Canada, but a lot smaller! We don't have those vast areas of wilderness that you have. And yes, that makes me a little envyous.
Beowulf Agate Erin has lots of relatives and ancient roots in Lulea and Vannas regions of Sweden . She comes from the blood of sturdy women of the north.
@@LostLakes Must admit that I was just a little ashamed when I realised that the Amok brand (I'd never heard of them before!), they're actually from my hometown right in the middle of Norway.
Great piece of literature that Erin is reading! Hatchet is one of the all time greats! Also, those hammocks are slick! Scandinavian products are definitely elite. Did the ancestry kit for Christmas last year and found out my wife and I are both primarily Scandinavian. We are now both really wanting to make a trip over there!
It's a classic read! That's awesome...one more reason to go. Erin also has roots there. All my vacation is dedicated to paddling but I would love to go there when I have more free time...so retirement I guess lol.
When we return to the simple things in life, we find that our imaginations come alive again because we have to engage our minds and our hearts. Great video folks!
Thanks Pdsharpe! Here's a great video on that on their TH-cam. It's a great system. Comes on and off easily and stashes away in a pocket. th-cam.com/video/IeiVgStQ-PQ/w-d-xo.html
Gorgeous capture of the White-winged Crossbill on the rock. Last time I seen one was in Algonquin Park in January. Those hammocks look fantastic but I still like my ground tent. Beautiful video! Stay safe :)
Another great video. Nice to see you can still get out and enjoy nature. The river races brought back memories for me. Nice to enjoy the simple things in life.
Greetings from the south shore of Lake Superior (Ashland, WI). Looking forward to Spring as well. Our snow is gone (4-9-2020) for the most part but the lakes are still frozen. Love your videos. We don't have the wilderness your folks have ( too many people in the US- even in the north country). Enjoy what you have!
👋👋 Thanks a lot Billy! We're so lucky that we ended up here in paradise together :) Still a lot of snow in the bush here...had some warmth in March but April has been quite cool
Thanks Dave!! It'll feel like spring once COVID blows over and the bans on camping and fires are lifted. Killing me right now...can't wait to get back out.
Got to love Northern Ontario. I live near Perth. All the ice is off here. An acquaintance of mine sent a photo down here from Iroquois Falls on Monday, of a pike he caught on Lake Abitibi , that went 33 pounds. He's still ice fishing up there, and says there is still lots of ice.
Lol I hate those kinda dreams in the woods! It's funny how we can incorporate the sounds into dreams as well. I had a weird one when a flock of geese was honking overhead
my partner and i have whiled away many an hour drinking beer by the lake while eating pistachios. we place the pistachio half shell hulls into the water and compete to see whose shell will stay afloat longest. yes, drama on the high seas!
Beautiful! Although a tad cold.... I hate sleep paralysis. I have it every now and then and wake up yelling. I often feel I'm just slightly out of my body telling myself I have to wake up but I can't. Looking at the Draumr V Ridgerunner atm for car camping. Great vid.
Awesome view 👌. We have teens now and we still throw things in the water falls... Always a good time... I would love to try hammock camping, but I don't like to swing it makes me nauseous 🤢. I was surprised Erin wasn't feeling I'll. Glad she enjoyed. Some hammock's design's allow you to tie down the ends to stop the swing. Happy hanging out with you 👍
Hahah one of those oddly fun things. Interesting, I never thought of that. No problems for Erin. I'm sure there must be somewhere on these ones to guy out the ends...might be worth a try! Thanks for the hang sesh Maggie :)
Omg, wow impressive hammocks, as per your dream of Bears, I always felt sleeping in a Hammock you are presenting yourself as low hanging fruit to Bears, but, those are nice, regards.
Really nice spot. You two are pretty cute and fun! The hammocks are impressive. OK, I am going to test the Haven tomorrow. Shouldn't be cold, it was 31 today.
Hahah oh brother. We narrowly missed a blizzard on Monday that dumped the next town over with 15-18". Only a couple of inches here. Look forward to your thoughts on the haven :)
True BG, feels like a hassle, but it can become a much larger hassle the next time if you don't. Really handy that those little velcro pieces are integrated into the tarp to wrap each guyline up.
Glad you gave the Amok a try. I thought you’d like it. At first I thought I heard you say, “If I didn’t live in Canada, I’d go to one of the Scandinavian countries.” Glad I replayed it, because I heard “Colorado“ the second time. Just another reminder, Jon, that we have off the chart wilderness fishing and outdoor activities and still have all the NHL teams coming through Denver. Just sayin, You guys are always welcome, eh? John.
LOL very true John. You make a great case with the NHL. In a hypothetical, I really like Scandinavia. But for more many practical reasons I would most likely end up in the US of A and I would be very happy with CO 😜😜 I'm badly missing hockey already. Playoffs would be starting now 😔
Hahah Erin is the queen of sleep. If she can manage it, I believe in you. Hammocks aren't exactly dog friendly though are they....though watching Grizz jump into yours last year was pretty hilarious.
Bonjour les jeunes amis !..vous allez bien ?..quelle bouffée d'oxygène, quand vous arrivez à la rivière !... magnifique...vite installés les hamacs...au soleil.. fraîches boissons..elle est pas belle la vie !!..un bon bouquin..zen attitude..j'adore, la ''banane'' quand je vous regarde!🙂👍 très belles vidéo..et musique..merci
Maybe it's the quarantine or maybe it just took me back to my childhood, but it was surprisingly entertaining to watch the punky log floating down the cascades. Congrats on your first Winter hang. Keep 'em coming.
Nice relaxing trip. I am a hammock camper too, but I have never tried the Amok. It looks very comfortable, just more bulky than a standard hammock, and more expensive. Shug is the hammock authority and has a great Ytube channel himself. He has done several reviews on the Amok and made them look just as good as you and Erin did. Look him up sometime. Keep up the great videos.
Thanks rifleman! So comfy, can't wait to sleep (and read) in it again. I've seen some of Shug's stuff but I don't think I saw his Amok reviews. Going to look that up now :)
Sweet location! Took my wife hammock camping last November & we had a spot near a stream that fed a small, but tall waterfall downstream. She absolutely fell in love with it! She normally liked Car Camping with facilities & all that, but other folks tended to ruin the relaxation. Not so primitive camping - didn't have a Soul around! Kinda dig those Amok hammocks.
Who couldn't love that eh? The lack of speakers and motors and parties makes such a difference. We're loving the Amoks. Bit of a learning curve to getting into them, but so comfy
Awesome new hammocks, brewskis, running water, and Pooh sticks. Life just doesn't get much better. The hammocks look very comfortable...what about the packability & weight (I'm a backpacker)?
That does sound incredibly chill when you put it that way...all we needed to complete the experience was some warmth. The hammock with bug net is 1350g and the tarp is 500g. I'm sure you could shave some grams with a less deluxe hammock, but I guess that's the constant trade-off between comfort and practicality. They also offer a standard "gathered end" hammock which is only 495g. amokequipment.ca/products/
Thanks for the great info video. What did you think of the last book you read " Beyond the Trees. It is good to see Erin and yourself out enjoying the weather, on one of your trips. Any chance you will let us know what trips you have planned for this coming year.
Thanks JD! Beyond the Trees was wonderful. Highly recommend it. Our plans are completely up in the air right now with the pandemic, but we've got an exciting list of about 30-40 options to choose from lol. At least one will be an exploratory trip similar to our ice out trip last spring :)
I think Im going to check one of these out. I just can't get comfortable in my Hennesey no matter how many ways I try to adjust it. I always have pressure on he back of my neck/head
Wow what a nice setting and cool hammocks. Was that an Oriole at 11:01. I'm from Lake of the Woods area and have only seen a couple of those my whole life. Great video keep it up
Keep making content so I can watch something while I’m at home. I’m still working so besides having a fire and drinking in my backyard I can live through you guys up north lol not good about the fire ban up there though!
I always like your videos don’t comment often but you have replied in the past which is cool your lucky to have such a awesome wife that likes to spend time in the woods looks like I need to find a Canadian women. Keep up the the vids for people like me that don’t buy tv channels your channel is excellent thank you. Your loyal watcher Wes
here is some sweet things to eat winter time..it gives a lot energy/and keeps warm..Tahini mix with Mulberry molasses..put less Molasses in Tahini, and mix well..deep your beard and eat with tea..
Hahah right on, such a blast to chat with Kevin! We're dying to get out in the Amoks again but there's a total ban on camping here in Ontario. Thanks Jeff!!
Enjoy those Draumr's! I camp with a lot of friends that use hammocks also and one of the best features of the Draumr is hanging between trees that are much closer together then gathered end hammocks can use (I've hung between trees 8feet apart). Looks like you have the latest update (I got the original XL when they first released it) I am curious to see if the bug netting is any better, yours should be grey I think, originals like mine are white mesh... works fine for bugs of course but visibility sucks and god forbid you turn on your headlamp inside the hammock at night and blind yourself!
@@LostLakes Depends on light conditions but it can be pretty bad yeah... enough that I would spend money on a replacement bug net if they came out with a black one... grey I would need to see in person before shelling out money.
@@LostLakes Same reason they recommend black head nets over green or something else, black absorbs more light letting your eyes focus past it, white reflects it lessening your ability to see past it.
I thought I was the only one with the night terrors in the woods, LOL!! ....only I have yelled out several times, just ask my buddies. In my dream it's not a bear, its a person running in the woods in the dark and eventually they slow to a walk and you hear every step as he walks up to my hammock. I think I watched too many horror movies as a kid, hehe!
Next time you guys go out with your Amoks, I know your like 6’4 can you lay in the smaller one? Just curious because I’m right at 6’ and want to know if I end up buying one what I should do. Thanks!
Great idea, I'd like to test that myself. Will have to remember to try that :) The regular size is supposed to be good for up to 6'1", but I might err on the side of big.
No fire in the evening? 😳 What did you guys eat for dinner? And how did you cook it?! Awesome video guys, really looking forward to a new season of your adventures. Love the Bear sweater btw! Maybe that’s why your dreaming of them!
Yeah I know eh....worse having no fire in the morning! We had wraps that we made at home. In the morning we were going to have nice hot tea on the gas burner, but it was too cold for the iso-butane. Something I didn't realize because I never use gas cans....hate 'em. Hahah thanks AS!!
YES!!!!!!! Canadian sports are back on tv! Who needs the NHL. We have down river mushroom racing. Please do this every Saturday night. All you need is a catchy theme song that's easy to whistle.
LOL!! Mushroom Night in Canada!! Love it!!!
I love how gently you clinked your beers together. Not taking any chance of spilling any. True Canadians. 😉👍🍻
Certainly can't spill on the new hammocks
"Just looking for the sound of moving water after a long winter" 😊love that ❤

They're as comfortable as they look...badly wishing we could get out in them again. Many thanks Trisha!!!
Great footage of the pine grosbeak getting a drink
Thanks Logan! I thought it was a pine grosbeak too! But an experienced birder told me it's a white winged crossbill.

So so Blessed yous are. 💖 thank you for taking use along. I am laughing and I sure do need to smile and laugh, so thank you 🙏.
Hahah love to hear that, thanks Robin!
Fabulous, nice to see you two out again. We’re all big kids really. Like the music very pleasant
That's especially true of paddlers, isn't it? Thanks Martin :)

Wow... those Amok Hammocks look pretty cool... never seem that style before. Nice to see water I bet...Dennis, Canoehound Adventures
Sure was, but now it's cooled off again. Can't wait for the ban to end so we can sleep in them again. Thanks Dennis!
Whoa! Never seen a hammock like that! I loved the interesting ice formations along the stream.
Can't wait to get out in them again man. Yeah it's amazing what nature whips up...those crystal balls hanging from a thin stem. Art!
Great piece of literature that Erin is reading! Hatchet is one of the all time greats! Also, those hammocks are slick! Scandinavian products are definitely elite.

also how does the bug net system work couldn't find any info on their site

Ahh thanks Kelly!! Thought it was a pine grosbeak, which I think is a bird I learned from you. But I see the differences now. Thanks!!
Stunning views from the hammocks, which look pretty sweet.
Thanks Tim, can't wait to get back in them 😀
Another great video. Nice to see you can still get out and enjoy nature. The river races brought back memories for me. Nice to enjoy the simple things in life.

I miss that. It was great watching this video, thanks for sharing.
Fun times :) Thanks for joining Frank!
That was top notch folks. I never seen a hammock like that before. I like it
Thanks Jimbo!! It's a sweet setup let me tell ya
Enjoyed the video, like your guys new hammocks, very happy spring is here, your video made it that much better.⛺🌄🍂🍁🌿🌱🌰🌲🌳👏👍😎
Thanks Dave!! It'll feel like spring once COVID blows over and the bans on camping and fires are lifted. Killing me right now...can't wait to get back out.
Hate to see video end! Used to use half walnut shell with tooth pick for a mast and paper sail let go
LOL love it!!
Thank you for this video. I am 6'2" 186 cm so right on the cusp for size. Your comment helped me decide to go with the XL. Be well happy camping.
Definitely the right decision
Got to love Northern Ontario. I live near Perth. All the ice is off here. An acquaintance of mine sent a photo down here from Iroquois Falls on Monday, of a pike he caught on Lake Abitibi , that went 33 pounds. He's still ice fishing up there, and says there is still lots of ice.
Wow 33lbs!!! Exceptional fish! People are still ice fishing here but I'm done with it. I just want to paddle at this point 😁
Lol I hate those kinda dreams in the woods! It's funny how we can incorporate the sounds into dreams as well. I had a weird one when a flock of geese was honking overhead
Lol so true...semi-awareness
Hatchet was my favorite book when I was younger!
Have you read "My Side of the Mountain" by Jean Gorge? It also had a huge impact on me.
Read that in high school. Pretty cool book.
Haven't heard of that one Matthew...I'll check it out! Hatchet is a fun one :)
my partner and i have whiled away many an hour drinking beer by the lake while eating pistachios. we place the pistachio half shell hulls into the water and compete to see whose shell will stay afloat longest. yes, drama on the high seas!
LOL there's something very enjoyable about it. Nice for life to be so simple for a while
Hatchet is such a good book too! It helped cement my love for the outdoors as a child.
A classic for sure...kids should read that instead of Shakespeare.
Way to go biggie, in for the win. What fun. Nice hammocks. Good for you two.
I always pick winners...that's how I got Erin. Unfortunately she can't say the same 😝
Love your winter camping trips.
Anything with a beer holder is great, they look comfy. Nice location.
LOL well said!
An excellent video and just when I thought I didn't need another hammock. Looked like a good time. Take care and stay safe, Al
Hahaha you can never really get to the end of the to-buy list, can you? It just grows. Thanks a lot Al :)
Beautiful! Although a tad cold.... I hate sleep paralysis. I have it every now and then and wake up yelling. I often feel I'm just slightly out of my body telling myself I have to wake up but I can't. Looking at the Draumr V Ridgerunner atm for car camping. Great vid.
What! Northern Scavenger, you guys and Pooh sticks. Awesome way to end the day. 👌
Hahah need another Labrador video right now. Going crazy. Been enjoying Justin Barbour's Labrador trip too
Amen to that. His vids are awesome too.
Cool hammock! I've heard about them when they came out and was always interested in trying them out. Good to see you guys putting them to use!
They're pretty sweet man! Dying to get into them again, even for an afternoon if it ever warms up here.
Love the water and Ice shots!!!
Thanks KC!!
Awesome view 👌. We have teens now and we still throw things in the water falls... Always a good time...

Love any one get setup enjoy ur beer! Right next to the water,,,,
That's livin' eh?
Another great video! It's so relaxing watching your videos. Reminded me as a kid my brother and I racing sticks in the creek by our house.
That's awesome :) Thanks a lot Jim!!
Nice equipment video, better than a rubber ducky race!
Hahah thanks Walt :)
You guys picked a great campsite.
Peaceful as can be :)
@12:45 I put my money on the wrong horse! (I know my buds and I would have similar contests - i love it!)
Always bet on the tortoise man!! 😂
As always informative an a joy to watch 👍👍
Thanks a lot Dennis!!
Omg, wow impressive hammocks, as per your dream of Bears, I always felt sleeping in a Hammock you are presenting yourself as low hanging fruit to Bears, but, those are nice, regards.

Good job bundling your cordage 🤘🏻 makes it so much easier and faster to deploy for the next use, especially when your hands are cold and wet!

BEING able to turn side to side the love I like these the most & how you can chill upward🤔😅😅😅
Those things look super cool ! And comfy. It would be dangerous if I had one. I’d just sleep it in all the time.
Hahah Erin is the queen of sleep. If she can manage it, I believe in you. Hammocks aren't exactly dog friendly though are they....though watching Grizz jump into yours last year was pretty hilarious.

You just might turn me into a hammock camper, sweet set-up!
Hahah once you try it......
Jon, sporting a new haircut, i like it. Cool hammock. I take it theres a bug screen for summer?
Thanks TTM!! Sure is. It's detachable so we figured we might as well leave it. Stuffs into a pouch in the hammock and zips up nicely :)

I always like your videos don’t comment often but you have replied in the past which is cool your lucky to have such a awesome wife that likes to spend time in the woods looks like I need to find a Canadian women. Keep up the the vids for people like me that don’t buy tv channels your channel is excellent thank you. Your loyal watcher Wes
Hahah I'm a lucky guy 😁 Thanks so much Wes, that's much appreciated!!
Great shots of the area.thanks guys,great video
Thanks Michael!
Great to see you guys out enjoying yourselves. Looking forward to the upcoming season 🤙🏼
Thanks Martin :) We can't wait!
here is some sweet things to eat winter time..it gives a lot energy/and keeps warm..Tahini mix with Mulberry molasses..put less Molasses in Tahini, and mix well..deep your beard and eat with tea..
Wow that's a new one!
I just checked out Amok hammocks they look unbelievably easy to put up and comfy.
By the way I saw you on with Kevin and had to sub I live in Minnesota and you guys are in my neck of the woods, great content!
Hahah right on, such a blast to chat with Kevin! We're dying to get out in the Amoks again but there's a total ban on camping here in Ontario. Thanks Jeff!!
Can't wait til you guys start getting some fish! Great vid, thanks for sharing :)
Us neither man...thanks Bradley!
OMG, how can you survive such harsh arctic winter conditions and set up camp with ease, so much snow and stuff.
Hahah compared to the -20s and -30s of winter, this is a big improvement 😜
It must be more difficult at -35 c , with 3 feet of snow ?
You have a beer holder here,HaHa you guys are so Canadian! They should make a two person size hammock!
Enjoy those Draumr's! I camp with a lot of friends that use hammocks also and one of the best features of the Draumr is hanging between trees that are much closer together then gathered end hammocks can use (I've hung between trees 8feet apart). Looks like you have the latest update (I got the original XL when they first released it) I am curious to see if the bug netting is any better, yours should be grey I think, originals like mine are white mesh... works fine for bugs of course but visibility sucks and god forbid you turn on your headlamp inside the hammock at night and blind yourself!
Thanks JM! Hahah that's interesting...is it that much harder to see through? Ours is grey 😅
@@LostLakes Depends on light conditions but it can be pretty bad yeah... enough that I would spend money on a replacement bug net if they came out with a black one... grey I would need to see in person before shelling out money.
@@jmullin damn, never would've guessed it would be so impactful
@@LostLakes Same reason they recommend black head nets over green or something else, black absorbs more light letting your eyes focus past it, white reflects it lessening your ability to see past it.
@@jmullin ah of course! I've experienced that one. Same with safety nets in hockey rinks
The true bushwalking couple... Made my day.... Cheers....
Love to hear that Jim 🙂🙂🙂
That was a nice little video. Like the length and watching you play with the river. Now how do I get me one of those hammocks?
Thanks Barb! Sit tight and you might find yourself with a hand-me-down in a year or two 😜
I thought I was the only one with the night terrors in the woods, LOL!! ....only I have yelled out several times, just ask my buddies. In my dream it's not a bear, its a person running in the woods in the dark and eventually they slow to a walk and you hear every step as he walks up to my hammock. I think I watched too many horror movies as a kid, hehe!
LOL oh man that might be worse. Creepy humans scare me more than bears.
Wish u had shown the hammock set up from beginning ie tie off to the trees.
Very enjoyable and entertaining, thanks.
Thanks Sooz! :)
Next time you guys go out with your Amoks, I know your like 6’4 can you lay in the smaller one? Just curious because I’m right at 6’ and want to know if I end up buying one what I should do. Thanks!
Great idea, I'd like to test that myself. Will have to remember to try that :) The regular size is supposed to be good for up to 6'1", but I might err on the side of big.
Gorgeous spot! Still snowing here in Alberta. I 'get' the need to hear the running water. Keep wild and free! 😉🇨🇦
Missing this now that camping is banned in ON 😔
Wow cool adventure peace love n light beautiful people n family's be safe ❤3
Appreciate that Darrel!! 🙂🙂
@@LostLakes aw cool we must be doing something right then haha be safe beautiful family ❤3
No fire in the evening? 😳 What did you guys eat for dinner? And how did you cook it?!
Awesome video guys, really looking forward to a new season of your adventures.
Love the Bear sweater btw! Maybe that’s why your dreaming of them!
Yeah I know eh....worse having no fire in the morning! We had wraps that we made at home. In the morning we were going to have nice hot tea on the gas burner, but it was too cold for the iso-butane. Something I didn't realize because I never use gas cans....hate 'em. Hahah thanks AS!!
Biggie Biggie Biggie 🕶🎩 notorious!
Kesia Walker BIGGIE FTW!
Great video you two, love the water race. Have to try it.
Hahah thanks man :)
Now that’s a good wife who can open a beer one handed and not spill a drop . She is definitely a keeper. Don’t let that one get away.
Hahah 100%!
Liked because you've got the same hammock as I have. Subscribed because you said all those nice things about Scandinavia. :D
Hahah 😜
