For me, this is the best travel/adventure channel.
Very much appreciate that Tim!!
Also, props to Erin for being an incredibly supportive and helpful partner in life. May God continue to bless you both with abundant joy in years to come.
I'm 60 retired from the Army. What you are doing is so inspiring. Makes me want to get out there again.
Much appreciated Julio!
Do it brother. Life is to short.
I've spent my entire adult life commercial fishing around Vancouver Island and have never seen a quad rainbow, seen doubles. Epic trip Jon. :)
Thanks Allan! I don't suspect I'll ever see one again :)
I've never seen one anywhere - wow
Mrmbbb on CZcams constantly receives submissions of all rainbow variants. I submitted a rainbow pic to him that visibly showed it ending on the road in front of my truck. 4s are rare but not unusual
Allan: You have a lovely Boat, THE RAVEN, out of Sooke, I have seen it often when I am out fishing.
This guy has two dragonflies land by him. He saves them. He sees a quadruple rainbow. Epic
Could be the luck of the dragonfly
Watching this is such an amazing treat for me. I paddled the North Shore of Lake Superior many times when I was a young man back in the 1960's and 1970's. The opportunity you have to do this trip is a gift for you and a rare gift for us to ride with along. The trip harkens back to a simpler time that seems lost in this phony and complicated world we find ourselves in. That area will always be a wilderness, long after humans have burned out and are gone from the earth. So timeless.
Amen!
The whole earth will be a wilderness by then
-@@copyninja8756 Nice to think that could be true. We've had our chance and we've made a mess of it haven't we. The North Shore of Lake Superior exudes timelessness. I hope it can outlast what is surely to come.
@@michaeldoherty2289 I moved to MN and am just now realizing how wild this place actually is. Its a treasure.
@@AnyMotoUSA You are a lucky man. My heart will always live in the Minnesota Lake country and Lake Superior is the center of it. Where are you living? In the North? Enjoy it to the fullest. It is very special.
Just recently found your channel. Thank you so much for presenting the beauty of Superior with the respect it deserves. I am old now but spent much of my young adult life experiencing nature the way you are here. Hard to put it into words but you have brought me back to what is really important in this world. You are very skilled at making these videos …. Dont change anything !
Thank you for taking me along.
Thanks John I know alot goes into these and the quality just keeps getting better. Will finish watching tonight with the family. Take care friend!
Really appreciate that WTBOA!

I was taking a break from rebuilding the deck at our cottage when I saw your video. Two hours and three glasses of wine later I'm only capable of falling off a deck. Thanks for the great video. All hail the purple platypus! (hiccup)
Would be nice to see you do all of the Great Lakes
I really appreciated you sharing your trip with the world. I also appreciated every piece of trash you carried out in addition to whatever you brought with you. Thank you. I hope to experience Superior in the future
Thanks a lot Dan!
Definitely.
Ahhh that was fantastic! Calm, entertaining and the sounds of nature has calmed my soul. I needed that. Thank you...so awesome!
Aw thanks for this!! 💚💚

Me too!! Serenity!!!
How does this channel not have a million subs yet? Great content, great editing, great personality. Along for the ride! CHEERS!
because its boring

@@davidedwards8282 Yet, you're here watching.
@@davidedwards8282 Life is only as boring as *YOU* make it!
@@davidedwards8282 why do you watch boring videos??
Absolutely peaceful and magical! Super cinema! Beautiful. Living the dream through your videos.
Searched on Big Sur, watched a few vids and fell asleep...woke up to the sound of your voice and ended up watching 2am.... nice to see a REAL outdoorsy man in the age of nonstop video playing addict whimpy guys.
I feel like I just took a vacation in a place I never would have visited. You are very plesent to be around, very relaxing and yet exciting. Thank You.
Well shucks 🙂🙂 Thanks so much Thomas, I really appreciate that!
Double rainbow is the most I’ve seen in 56 yrs, you’re quadruple sighting was incredible!!!
I came across one of your videos about a week ago and I've been binge watching ever since so much so my husband is starting to get concerned LOL but I just wanted to say that it's amazing like all of the stuff that you have been able to see and share with us and I just want to say thank you for giving us such a beautiful gift. I've seen a triple rainbow but never a quadruple. You are really great at this.... thanks for letting me tag along. Stay safe!
You have created an incredible paean to Lake Superior. This video could have been broadcast on NOVA or Nature or National. In fact, it should be.
I do not know how but, somehow, you managed to accumulate the boatload of good karma required to get an opportunity like this.
When I was young, I did not have the freedom. Now that I have the freedom, I am old.
I am glad that you had the youth and the freedom, the will to do it, and the decency to share it with us.
Thank you.😎
This man reminds me of my grandpa who used to take me hiking and camping all the time. You remind me of him in his prime. Thanks for the great content dude
Really appreciate that Max! 💚
Hey John: I have been watching your channel for awhile now. This has to be one of your best for sure. You keep getting better at the videography. Quitting your day job and doing this full time has obviously been the right decision for you. It comes out in your videos. Look forward to the next one!
I picked up on your love for life and everything this planet has, and it's refreshing. I can relate. Keep doing well man. The 10 day Great lakes vid was my first now I'm here and will continue watching!
Much appreciated!
If there was an award ceremony for the best CZcams channel you'd get my vote! Fantastic as always bud.
What a cool trip Jon. Little but of everything on this tour.......fishing, big water crossing, lake superior beauty, hiking, exploring and geology. Great work putting this all together. Lots of work for sure. Hope the rest of your paddling season has gone as well as this trip did. Cheers brother. (love the thumbnail btw).
There's so much to say about this but I'll stay short. What a beautiful movie experience and trip. Lake Superior is more than I thought it was. I love adventures and this made me feel calm and relaxed during these hard times. Great Work!
Greatly appreciate that KLU! It's really a special lake
Great Dry Suite! It for sure can save your life if you flip. Because you can't roll a canoe, I'm sure you know that a Dry suite only gives you about another 30 to 40 minutes extra in that 48 degree F water. If you have a kayak, and you can roll, the risk of hypothermia is greatly reduced.
WOW, one of the best pieces you’ve done. Gitchie Gumee is so inspirational and life giving to many of us. Cheers to Mr. Abbey as well. Keep it up John!
I have no words to describe such beauty. Finally reaching Old Woman’s bay tomorrow.
Thank you Jon for making us part of this magical place that is Lake Superior!
My first lost-lakes video. Watched the entire thing and I really enjoyed it. Thanks for this. Will be catching more lost-lakes.
Lake Superior is amazing. I’m from the shores of Lake Michigan, but visited Lake Superior and the crystal clear water and the rock formations are gorgeous. Never got a chance to fish it though.
I’m from Michigan and I have spent a lot of time in the upper peninsula along Lake Superior’s southern shore. I have never seen the northern shore and it is so beautiful! What an amazing experience, thank you for sharing!
Stupendous!
My favorite Lost Lakes video (thus far). The only thing that could have made it better, and you’ll agree, would be Erin in the bow.
I really like the way you set it up as a long video with chapters to reference for shorter viewing episodes.
*I got the Scotty rod holder and gunnel clamp mount along with the Duo-Lock snaps through your link. 👍🏻
Your video diary has got to be one of the clearest, brightest, most tightest focused i have ever seen. You radiate a quiet air of confidence in all that you do and your enthusiasm is evident. Wonderful natural soundtrack. I too have never seen you before but will definitely be back for more.
I appreciate that so much Frank!! Makes my day :)
Thank you for letting me join you on this journey as I recoup from leg surgery on my couch. Between surgery and Covid I've not been able to get out much since November 2020. Be free, happy,blessed and kind.
I feel for you Rebecca...the couch is a great place to be, except when you're stuck there for extended periods. Hang in there and glad you could escape here a bit. Thanks for joining me!
Thanks for the quadruple rainbow and all the awesome opportunities to witness Lake Superior's beauty with you.
As a city dweller and nature novice, I have only been on the big lake a handful of times, so I am living vicariously via others. This was very well done and informstive. I did some sailing around Mantiou years ago. Kayacking/canoe is hardcore! Respect
Very much appreciated!

Thanks so much for taking me along. Beautiful part of the world.
This Texas Grandma has really enjoyed the serenity and the scenery of your journey. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼❤️🕊
The rainbows! That must have your mind spinning. We caught pics of the first four rainbows anomaly about two weeks ago. May have been the same ones you see! Great video. Killer fish. Priest lake. Caught my one and only lakey.
Thanks so much Scott! I remember my first laker too...Lake Simcoe :) Amazing that you saw a quad too. This one was back in June
this was absolutely wonderful in so many ways. quite possibly the most enjoyable solo wilderness documentary in general that I've seen this year. Cheers brother, sending love to you and yours from Colorado
Really appreciate that my friend! 👋
I enjoyed that Pure escapism , and realization how beautiful Ontario is. Im from Alberta 🇨🇦
Took me six days to watch this video (middle of canning season for the garden). I am central Kentucky and now I want to paddle to the entrance of the Ohio; maybe a four day trip... THANK YOU. God Bless and stay safe.
Did anyone else see the “face” in the rock sticking up at Otter Island? Time stamp 56:59. Kinda reminds me of the carved rock faces on Easter Island. Very cool.
Yes I saw that as well....thought it looked like the face of a dog
Totally
Thanks for allowing us to follow you on this journey! I've been curious about islands in the Great Lakes for a long time, and since Tim O'Brien is one of my favorite authors I have a fascination with the forests in these areas that he's described many times in his novels. So it's cool to get to see some of the stuff.
I agree friend ✌️
Very few people have gotten to see four rainbows at the same time. I have. It helps to be wearing sunglasses I think. Sometimes I can see rainbow colors in the clouds when wearing them. Most people just shoot me a doubting smirk when I tell them I've seen 4 rainbows at once. I'm glad someone has documented it on video. Thank you!
Spectacular. Extremely spiritual. What a wonderful life you've chosen to live.
💚💚
I just tuned into this video and now find myself sitting in the dark, more than 2 hours later, left in complete awe and gratitude. Wow, what a treat!
You kept me hooked, inspired and just loving this province I have called home for over 2 decades now. So much still to see.
Could add so many comments, I am sure most of them have already been listed, so for now, just a deeply felt "thank YOU" for sharing this amazing journey! 👏 and doing it so, so well.
I have embarked on my first winter camping this year, am off to Algonquin tomorrow for my 2nd stab at it, and your video has just made for the perfect "evening before" motivation.
Thank You. 🤗🙏🏕💗
I truly appreciate that!! Hope you're having a wonderful trip in Algonquin :)
Stumbled upon this site this afternoon. One of the most enjoyable 2+ hours of my life, certainly on CZcams anyways! Particularly when considering the state of this planet at present and its rulers. You were meant for this place and time my friend. Your presence, eye for photography and cadence are second to none! Well done.
Truly appreciate that! 💚
Very beautiful area ! Thanks for taking us along !
Spectacular photography with a descent philosophy makes a good antidote for corona. Thanks.
The skies were amazing! Very nice trip, animals, geology, the water, the fish! But those skies...amazing!
Truly appreciate your channel man! As a guy from Florida I love getting to see your adventures. Had a canoe trip in the u.p. as a kid and this brings back memories.
Very much appreciated!
"Watch at your own pace"... Clearly you under estimate by binge watching abilities lol. Trip looked amazing, hope to get to Northern Superior sometime soon!
Stunningly gorgeous photography. Well done!!
Really appreciate that!!
Great watch!! Grew up on Lake Superior but have been living in Tasmania for 16 years. Didn't realize how much I missed Giche Gumee, definitely scheduling a trip to the north shore on my next visit home! Thanks heaps for taking the time to put this together.
Thanks a lot John! That's quite a contrast. It's my favourite lake and after living here in Marathon for a few years, I find it hard to imagine leaving it
Much respect to Erin for suffering through the danger potential!! And John, thanks for taking us with you! So happy to be a subscriber....and LUCKY I might add!!
Wow Jon. What a spectacular journey. As always your humor is so much appreciated. I don't know if you hear this enough, but your ability to capture stunning video of the places you go does the wilderness there so much justice. You really show the beauty of these places so well, the flora and fauna, the landscape. Great work on the video, looked like you had an amazing time, can't wait for what's next.
Fast approaching 80 and haven't been up north in 10 years. Can't tell you how much I enjoyed this video!! Spectacular scenery and a needed distraction from upcoming surgery. Love you and Erin! You are the perfect couple. Thanks.
Thank you so much Joan!! Wishing you the best for your surgery and to good health ahead :)
@@LostLakes Looking forward to your first spring trip. I love your sense of humour.
I was so relaxed after watching for 25 minutes I fell asleep! Thank you for taking me on your calming adventure!
Thanks for joining me Windermere! 🙂
Very much enjoyed your wilderness excursion. You are a solid steward to our wilderness, good job!
You've become one of Ontario's greatest adventurers. I've been watching your videos for years, and this one scared me more than the others. Superior is a beast and the weather can change on a whim, not to mention that water is always deadly cold. Travelling alone like that is incredibly brave. Great video bahd!
Thank you for the amazing video. A trip to remember. I enjoyed watching every minute of it. I will watch it again. Live life to the peak. Thanks again
Late night, can’t sleep and your awesome video pops up. Thanks for sharing a trip I’ll never be able to take. I felt like I was there. I’m hooked! Your appreciation for life is beautiful. Beavers cry? What?
North shore of Lake Superior in Ontario, Canada
Bro you are a straight BEAST out there!!! First vid of yours I watched, subbed and I’ll be looking forward to more multi-day adventures 💪🎣
I randomly came across this video and I’ve been a long time fan of your channel keep it up buddy
@1Rod1ReelFishing hahah thanks so much brother!!! Not the best fishing trip but certainly not the worst :)
1rod watching BAOntario! some of my favorite youtubers supporting each other! 1rod you gotta check out his past videos! Crazy epics canoe trips with absurd views, epic portages, and lots of fishing, you'll love Lost Lakes.
Get ready for hours of amazing videos!! I would say his videos are the most beautiful I watch. Portrays his love of nature so well! Makes me get up and go out!!
thanks you guys!!!
Love your videos. I live in OHIO and watching your videos is so relaxing and for the time watching I get to forget the busyness of life and get to enjoy your trips. Can’t wait till things calm down it has been about 2 years since I’ve been North of the boarder. Love Canada!!!!
I had never heard "Hunger is the best seasoning". Awesome line.
Fun fact : rainbows are always double. In most cases the second one is just hard to see or too far away from the first one to see.
I totally understand why you love Lake Superior. I saw a lot of videos about this lake already and it's always amazing. You are a lucky guy, Jon. 😍👍And this sweet sauna Hut was a real surprise. I didn't know that those exist there. I love sauna, I would have tried it out 😁😍
The scenery was amazing on this trip, its been a while since I've visited Lake Superior and this was a great video capturing its raw beauty. I want to echo the other comments, thanks for naming off the islands and bays, I actually had a google map open while watching the entire video so I could follow along!
Jon, EXCELLENT adventure. That plant you were wondering about with all the insects on it looked like a Giant Rhubarb. Herb family but not actually related to the Rhubarb family. Just looks like them. Thanks for taking us along. Superior is def on my bucket list now.
Thank you so much Chuck! Whatever it was, STUNK like poop!
Well where do I start ..love your humor caused me to belly laugh at times .. the most beautiful shots most breath taking indeed .. loved every minute every second .. also enjoy your book quotes and yr acting .. not sure why someone hasn’t picked you up for television , you are so very entertaining and knowledgeable of the great outdoors.. and a special young man thank you
Aw thank you so much Patti!! 💚💚💚
I’ve had a few adventures on this beautiful lake. But now at 60 it’s to hard for me. I do appreciate this wonderful video and the memories that sparked in my mine once again.
I watched the entire show in one sitting. Enjoyed it very much. What a beautiful trip. I think this trip would be 100X better if it were with a love one. Thanks for taking the time to do the video, can't imagine how long it took to edit.
@Fishing Addict there are pros and cons with going with your partner. I am pretty slow in or out of the water (even when i was young, this was an issue).... so you have to be a very well matched pair, physically, mentally etc for it to work well. Extended walking trips with my guy worked well, but not so much the kayaking... (the wind resistance was a bit misery making for me) but the bits we did on calm days, for short trips were fun though.
I have never seen a grand canoe trip done on the biggest lake on Earth. Kudos!! Fabulous to watch!
The first time I felt dread I said Wait I only wanted a selfie with you. The dread left and I've never felt it since. Pretty cool Indian village. There's nobody up there to touch your stuff
Last time we tried to paddle the big lake with a canoe, it didn't go so well. We got turned back with 25+ winds in between islands. Now I use a sea kayak.
It can be a tough place for the canoe, that's for sure, especially if one is on a strict timeline. Made for the sea kayak
Having sailed and paddled most of that outer shore, I share your passion for the big lake. You captured the raw beauty and told a good story. Great video!
You exude a quietly intense joy out there. Whoooooo Buddy))))
Love the way you put that buddeh!!
lol, I saw the comment without reading the username and immediately thought "that's a Shug quote!!" :-D
@@LostLakes Doesn't look to me like a Caspian lake.
I found you last night by accident what caught my eye was The Land Before Time, it looks like you had a good time living with Mother Earth No Better Living.
I don't understand why you have dislikes on your Adventure maybe they need to get out more to feel the breeze and say thank you to Mother Earth for her beauty and her magnificent animals.
I'm always on my TV playing on CZcams with Mother Nature people I like to listen to some of others ideas some are dumb some awesome but never less always worth watching.
Semper Fi.
Glad to see you wearing the dry suit. Look up cold water incapacitation or immersion. It often kills before hypothermia. My brother died in April, 2021 in Lake Michigan due to cold water incapacitation and subsequent drowning. Great video. Loved the trip.
I'm truly sorry for your loss Kayle, I can't imagine. You're too right about that...something to be taken with the utmost seriousness
Incredible!! Thank you so much for the awesome video! Keep up the great work; I'm glad you were able to quit your job and pursue your passions! I can't wait to see what your next paddling season will hold!
Very much appreciated Dustin!! I can't wait for paddling this year either 😁
Note to self- wash hands immediately after bear spray discharge. Beautiful trip, thanks
Thank you for taking me on this wonderful voyage! I enjoyed every bit of it. Hoping to see more in the future!
Thanks so much for joining me! :)
This is my 2nd time watching this and wanted to say, until this video, I have NEVER (in my 71 yrs) witnessed a river flowing into a lake...pretty darn cool.
I had some comments lined up but I ended up watching this video over the course of a few days and lost most of what I had written down so ill just sum it up! I thoroughly enjoyed the video Jon - lots of great funny moments and of course the educational ones as well. loved the rainbows, crying beavers, fishing (As usual), and the scenery, also loved the cave thumbnail ( I loled pretty hard). Great stuff as usual my man! Looked like an amazing trip, great ending running into those people that recognized you! thats a cool moment! it seems as if you've been everywhere at this point, clearly your last name is a suitable one Jon Ontario!
Hahaha thanks so much Xan!! Would love to know how that thumbnail would've played 😆
@@LostLakes never know unless you try it out :p
You too SIB!!!..... YOU GOT US BY ABOUT 5 %( degrees), but it's not very comfy is it.stay well,shout out to the family and crumbsnatchers, we all appreciate what you have fought for throughout the years.

"Just a parting gift" That is a really cool way of looking at it.
The eagle/seagull battle was a real highlight for me in this video. What an awesome trip and great information from you along the way.
Thanks for being a great example of a back country adventurer and keep up the great work!
Thanks a lot John!
Trout still flopping in the pan its so fresh. Your life is blessed. Always cherish those times.
Just discovered you man...so positive and relaxing. Here I am sitting here typing my butt off...a cog in the wheel and this video was able to transport me somewhere I'd rather be. New subscriber for sure and hey, if you ever need someone to take a trip with you, let me know!
I truly appreciate that Eric---thank you my friend!
I enjoyed watching this. Made me think back to my younger years alone in the Sespe Wilderness. 2 week trips with no one but myself to talk to and trout everywhere.
So grateful for the wonferful veiws and the multiple rainbows. Really nice to watch you are very experienced.
I am so glad you re posting this video since I can't get out after my stroke .
Thanks a lot Shawn and very sorry to hear that. It's very challenging to suddenly have physical limitations like that so my heart goes out to you and I hope you'll find yourself in better health very soon
That quadruple rainbow was God showing you that He was with you and your trip was going to be a safe one. He is amazing and gives you all kinds of signs.
Fantastic! This will be one to rewatch on a long winter’s night.
While sailing around the Apostle Islands in Lake Superior we rescued a kayaker in the water who was hypothermic. I’m glad you are wearing a dry suit. Next time you should consider a cover for your canoe or use a sea kayak.
Thanks Mike, definitely would like to have one but they're pricey. Still thinking hard about it for next season though
BEAUTIFUL photography. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Thank you!
I had to prep myself for an LOTR length film. Great work Jon, showing the World the beauty of the North Shore! I love the Speck at the end just amazing 🤩
The timing for this nice long video was perfect for me today. I am spending my day indoors with my poor little chihuahua that has a bot-fly in her chest, so your video made for a perfect afternoon of enjoying nature and the absolute beauty and magnificence of Lake Superior and her islands from the comfort of my couch. Very happy to see you taking all the safety precautions. I lost a good friend just last month (RIP Tony J.-ba) to the icy waters of Lake Huron as he was canoeing with his wife. Even the most experienced swimmers and canoeists need to be prepared for the Great Lakes' cold waters (especially Huron and more so on Superior). Thanks for sharing, Jon. Cheers and stay safe.
Amazingly comfortable looking hammock and looks like you were able to chill in some great relaxing scenic spots.
Extremely well done. Thank you, from Salt Lake City, UT.
