Thanks for all the kind concern about Erin's knee 💚 Thankfully she recovered very well and seems no worse for wear now. And to answer another FAQ, she had just graduated from her masters program in counselling psychology about a week before the trip :) The band she wears is just for trips so something doesn't happen to her engagement ring and we plan to get married in 2023.
Thanks for the update she looked pretty banged up. Happy to hear all is well! I'd also like to thank you both for putting in all the extra effort to bring us a long on these trips.
Any day we get a big, new, awesome, one-hour-and-thirty-eight-glorious-minute Lost Lakes video is an awesome day. Can’t wait to snuggle up on the couch tonight and watch like a favorite movie.
@@LostLakes thanks Jon! Congrats to your lovely bride on the graduating! Long hard work finally done, it’s worse than the nine mile portage that never seems to end…. May the best times of your past be the worst of your future! 👍
Congratulations on her graduation &: wedding!!!!! Erin makes me laugh soooooo much. Ive watched sooooooooany of your vidios & they make my anxiety go sway everytime !!!! Thank you soooooooo much., you guys are awsome!!!! Love you both ! Take care & God bless!!!! Cant wait for the next one !!!!!!
A couple years ago I was going down the TH-cam rabbit hole while sitting in my garage babysitting a brisket on the smoker. I was looking for videos about fly-in fishing in Ontario (in anticipation to a 3 generation trip to Northern Ontario with my dad, son, and uncle), I stumbled across Backcountry Angling Ontario. I loved how the videos were shot and edited. As a lifelong backpacker I also identified with your simple minimalist camping style. Within a couple months, I had pretty much watched all your canoe trips and realized I was going to have to head out to the boreal forest for a backcountry canoe trip someday (despite about a 30ish year gap since I last paddled a canoe). After many mornings practicing locally in a p.o.s. plastic rental Old Towne, I did a solo trip to Quetico over Labor Day last month . As a novice paddler the wind caused me fits (and a few nervous moments), but I loved every minute of my trip despite the challenges. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE INSPIRATION! It’s awesome to find a new passion at nearly 50 years old. Now I’ve just got to get a little better at dealing with a crosswind….
What I like best is the sound of loons, It really gives a sense of tranquility and peace. With no noise at all it seems that the trip might be too unbearable without the amazing call of the loon.
Absolutely amazing trip! The sunsets and sunrises, the northern lights, the wildlife just incredible. You make such a wonderful team and bring us the greatest adventures, thank you 🙏🏻
Northern Lights ? The Aurelia Borialis is what you are talking about ? My God ! Lucky you ! What's the place you are talking about ? Please let me know the name atleast ? Luckier you !!!
There's so much to enjoy about this. The added nuances and details (the night time fauna, the shoreline video captures of you two passing by, the aurora borealis) are scintillating. Such a video spectacle of topography from above and below in addition to the dual view aspect of the rapids runs is nothing short of astonishing. Good gracious there's nothing on TV today like this!! From here on, I'm just left speechless at this amount of time, work, and energy. Amazing!
@@LostLakes I hope you see this. I was just at your account on Buy Me A Coffee. On the pop up window after I donated, there's a "copy link" button or tweet option to click. I chose the "copy link" to paste into Facebook. This is what pastes: javascript:void(null). Just thought you should know. Tim
THIS VIDEO WAS AMAZING!!!! You guys have given me so much viewing pleasure. Watching your videos gets me out of my bed, if only in my head, and takes me on beautiful adventures. I only recently discovered your channel, but this is my favorite video so far. The videography is beyond words. Jon, you could be a professional. The bear and moose encounters gave me goosebumps. Erin, congratulations on such a worthy accomplishment! You will be amazing in your field. Your kind heart is evident in every video. Blessings to you both. You have made my life better.
That was a beautiful trip. I've never seen northern lights with clouds like that. Sunsets and sunrises were gorgeous. Congratulations Erin. Thanks guys
I just saw you've got a million views on this video. Congratulations. My wife and I watch your channel often. I just joined as a member. I'm glad I can contribute.
A magical video, so entertaining and the wildlife, Northern Lights, the Moose, the Bear, Pelicans and the scenery all photographed so beautifully. You out-did yourselves for your viewers. So, thanks for sharing!!! Namaste 🙏
Thank you, John, for taking us along with you on your eleven day wilderness camping adventure! Please let me confess, you are such a beautiful soul and your language is a exquisite pleasure to listen to together with the beautiful nature natural authentic sounds from birds, water and rain! May God bless you both most richly! Best regards from Sweden! (Land of Trangia and Fjällräven!)
First good vibes and positive wishes that Erin's injury heals quickly and fully. That looked horrendous. What a fantastic trek, absolutely beautifully captured on video. Just wonderful. I almost feel guilty to witness your trials and triumphs and the truly special moments you work so hard for. Almost..
Well done, brings back fond memories. The quailty of your videos is unmatched. At Grip Lake, I knelled, bowed and chanted “Rob Haslam, I am so unworthy”
Congratulations Erin on graduating college!! What a breathtaking trip! So glad you guys could do this together. I have the patience to watch a long video and I’m so grateful that you didn’t cut it short. That next to last portage! I remember the Roadhouse at the end of an adventure was always the best! Pine needle tea is extremely beneficial. I believe it’s a good relief from congestion. I was seeking natural Covid relief and pine needle tea was one of the recommendations.
Thankyou for taking me on this magical journey of the north country. Without nice young people like you two, at age 76 I would never be able to see this wild wonderful country. The way you present the video's and talks are very professional, nice work.
We all appreciate the quality of these videos!! Words can’t express how enjoyable it is to be completely soaked into the environment along with you. That wouldn’t be made possible with ads popping up ever 5 minutes. For that my friend I’m truly grateful
As soon as I saw Erin walk into the first frame, I knew this one would be special and, of course it was. I don't see how your trips can just keep getting better, but they do!
Th ank you for treating us to this serene and awe inspiring journey! Love the music. The scenes were breath taking! I will never get to make this trip but loved every minute!
Jaw dropping trip you two!! Can't begin to tell you how I appreciate you taking me to the wilderness again. Don't know about you but every time I leave the woods and water, a piece of my soul remains...The night skies and wildlife, paddling, camping and cooking, all of it, such a privilege to watch. THANK YOU. Erin, glad to know your knee has recovered and huge congratulations on your earning your degree!! I had a feeling you were studying something in the helping/caring professions and welcome aboard. I work very closely with our school psychologist ( Pre K - 12 school) and your skills are so badly needed no matter where you end up! Be well and safe you two 💜 Barret
So good too see the 2 of you travel together. Congratulations on completing your studies Erin. Hope your injury heels quickly. Can't wait for the next adventure. Stay safe. Big hugs
can't wait to watch later!! better than any TV movie you could find. thank you for sharing your adventures Jon and Erin - and congratulations on your masters!! (ring look nice on you as well!!!!!!)
John, your filming and photographing is on another level since you do this fulltime. Absolutely incredible, thank you so much for all the effort you put into this so we can enjoy your trips with you. Erin is a treasure, you are a blessed couple! Greetings from the Netherlands, Joël
Heck yeah, it's a great day when I see another hour+ video from you guys in my sub box. Man some of those portages looked gnarly. Also Congrats to Erin for graduating!
Best trip and best filmed and edited yet. And from you Jon, that's saying something when every journey is an experience for the audience. I hope Erin's knee is ok and there is no permanent damage.
Sorry Erin hurt her knee !! Ouch. I remember when she twisted her ankle !! That was the most beautiful trip ! Thank you for taking us along. Cool dance moves Erin ! 🌝
I found your channel a few weeks ago and love it! I have been watching your videos nonstop. You film work is amazing. I live in New Mexico and just have a few lakes to paddle and fish on. Getting my stuff ready to go tomorrow on a 1 day fishing trip.i will be taking my hibred kynoe lol.Would love to have the water that you do. Thank you for the videos.
Jon and Erin, you all never disappoint! Always beautiful scenery and fantastic content, I enjoy your videos so much! Nice to see Erin again…thanks for taking us along on another wonderful trip!
🎉 Congratulations 👩🎓Erin!!! Where does one start or end upon this amazing trip. The scenery and wildlife was awesome. Those sunsets that gave way to the dancing Northern Lights with vibrant morning sunrises. Thank you for all your extraordinary video work. Erin may you have a strong speedy recovery with your knee. John please update us.
I love your videos man. I might have said it before but I’m really glad we’re all able to experience this with you. It’s something a lot of wish we could do but for some it’s not feasible. We’re living vicariously through you. Keep it up man! And don’t forget the fishing 😃
Love that fancy cap at the beginning, Erin! Congratulations 🎉! Wonderful adventure and beautiful footage with two great people-that’s hard to beat. Thank you for sharing!
Finally got to watch this one yesterday. What a wonderful trip. You both seem to have found a compatible partner and it's heartwarming to see your mutual enjoyment of nature and each other. Wishing you many happy years!
wow! i have to remind myself that this is not a big production for nat.geo or something, fantastic video, thanks for sharing! i hope it is rewarding for you in the way that you can keep doing this as a job and also that you are not burning the candle in both ends on a personal level from the work that you obviously put into this.
"The Golden Spruce" is a very trippy read. How did the guys axe end up above the high water line?? Another beautiful 1.38 hours spent in the company of two wonderful people, thanks for this guys.🙏
So lovely. I'm sure so much of your time is grueling, a bit scary, painful (knee) while your films give a sense that peaks of humor, beauty, and natural rarity make it all worth while.
Yay-Yuh!!! Love every second. Just yesterday I was wondering when your next vid would be published!! Hey Erin, nice lid!! Congrats!!!! Thanks so much!!
There are so many amazing qualities of this video, I would like to say thank you for the evening star shots. I love looking at the dark skies and figuring out where you are from the constellations. I hope that you might feature the evening sky in future videos, as you know, it is just as pretty as the daytime views!. TY!
Congratulations to Erin!, love that she wore her cap out there lol. Jon I am so used to seeing you with your bush husband (Xander) that it's refreshing to see you with your future wife XD love your videos Jon, I discovered you and Xander seperately, I cant begin to explain how stoked I was when you guys tripped together. your last trip with the aurora borealis was magical, some of your best videography I think I have seen. Thanks for all the effort you put in to share these videos with us.
Excellent video guys, another amazing experience with Lost lakes, good work maneuvering thru the rapids, congrats Erin on your graduation. Awesome Thank You!
Been through Marshall, Griff, Summit and the Kap, beautifual area and I would love to return some day. The pickerel fishing is awesome and I got a 37" Northern Pike in the Kap on our last night out. You have plenty of water, I could send photos of what it looks like in August with low water.
Call me a sap but ive teared up a couple times watching this video. Your love for nature and sharing it with us protects it. I am the same way... if we dont protect it we will lose it. You both are Truly Amazing Human Beings and i dont say that to just anyone. Thank You Jon and Erin for all you do for Planet Earth !!
Jon, you are a true artist. The drone shot overhead of the island with the canoe and the pillowy smoke from the fire. Your night photography. Float plane fly by…It all gets better with every video.
I was watching this with my 2 month old baby girl and when it got to the northern lights portion, she started making all kinds of talking noises. ALmost like she knew how magical it was. Really great stuff Jon. We are watching pieces at a time together in hopes she will fall in love with nature as soon as we can get out to do a trip. Edit: By the way, I hope Erin's knee is ok and she made a full recovery. That looked pretty gnarly so I hope it wasnt anything serious
You including the broader area of the map has me really questioning why I don't get out more, or get a passport to visit Canada. I live in Minnesota so when I see how beautiful the north of MN is, I realize it can only get better in Canada. Thanks for the videos, they really are too good for us.
Thanks for sending it Bern! I read the first chapter and it was very interesting, then we switched books because Erin finished hers, so I'll continue once she's done :)
The bright green catapillar is a tomato horn worm and they grow into lunar moths. They are big and just as vivid green. They're beautiful. Edit: A terrible garden pest for your tomatoes and peppers, though the one garden pest I can't hate. You can't leave them on plants because they will eat literally all the leaves down to nothing.
So nice to see your beautiful bow lady back in your canoe, Erin your toughness and love for the adventure is second to none.. Jon and Erin thank you.. well done
I have really enjoyed this video! Erin is amazing! She comes in like she has always been with you! Y’all work so well together. It’s amazing how you make it look easy. But I know there was a ton of very hard work!!
What an amazing trip x where do I start with everything that you saw. Breathtaking views, amazing wildlife. That black bear climbing that tree. Beautiful night sky and the auroras WOW. Congratulations Erin of graduating 😊 John you must be so proud x It’s so good to see you both back out together ❤ thank you for sharing yet another amazing adventure ❤
Thanks for all the kind concern about Erin's knee 💚 Thankfully she recovered very well and seems no worse for wear now.

That was E P I C guys. Thanks for all the hard work of filming. Congrats to Erin on her graduation. I hope her knee heals ok.
Thank you Felicia!
You including the broader area of the map has me really questioning why I don't get out more, or get a passport to visit Canada. I live in Minnesota so when I see how beautiful the north of MN is, I realize it can only get better in Canada. Thanks for the videos, they really are too good for us.
Glad to see you with the Botany book. One of my favorite books. Nice trip, great team work. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sending it Bern! I read the first chapter and it was very interesting, then we switched books because Erin finished hers, so I'll continue once she's done :)
Absolutely incredible video. Amazing production to capture the beauty of your trip, spectacular to say the least.
Thank you so much!
Love the mortarboard ensemble for that nature look, that was the best!! Congrats Erin.!
The bright green catapillar is a tomato horn worm and they grow into lunar moths. They are big and just as vivid green. They're beautiful. Edit: A terrible garden pest for your tomatoes and peppers, though the one garden pest I can't hate. You can't leave them on plants because they will eat literally all the leaves down to nothing.
Erin congrats on graduation! Great trip, thanks for sharing.
Loved that whitewater section on Day 6! So cool to watch your teamwork together - the background music had me STRESSED though, haha!
Hahah thanks Riley!
