❤Erin and Jon, I pray that you never lose your passion for creating these utterly stunning, stirring, and inspirational videos for all of us to become immersed in (over and over!!) There are no adequate words to express our collective heart felt THANKS!!! MAY GOD BLESS YOU! ❤
Happy New Year Jon and Erin! In an age where it seems most outdoor content creators are trying so hard to impress us and be ‘influencers,’ you remain our favorites for just taking us along and telling us a story, without it seeming like we’re watching home movies. Bravo!
Loved the slomo shots of Erin splitting logs. Her sister is a real trooper for joining you and honest enough to say it's not for her. It wouldn't be for me either. I don't like being cold, lt alone in -30 and lower temps. But, having said that, love living it vicariously through you! Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and warm and healthy. Happy New Year!
Hey Erin. I grew up chopping wood for our family's sole source of heat/cooking/hot water. It's a satisfying and gratifying feeling of accomplishment and self-reliance. Enjoy! Beats the hell out of a trip to the gym.
My Grandfather, departed for many years now, had "The Creation of Sam McGee" memorized and would recite it for us kids it every Christmas time when we'd visit. Thanks for that nice memory. Your camping trip looks wonderful! Happy New Year!
A little tip- Use those vinyl/surgical gloves when making bread. Keeps your hands clean and warm, and cleanup is as easy as taking them off! Carry a pair for each meal.
You fantastic two!! Your videos are so great! You both are young and you live probably in the best part of the world! I am 61 and I live in Switzerland, for many one of the fanciest countries in the world. Everything is glittering here, we have many paying tourists from India and China. Everythig is glorious, many think, we are the greatest. Not me. We have no nature, no wilderness here anymore!! only money for some people matters, but not for the average man. We have lost the simple life, the glory of the wilderness that we once had too. But not anymore. Now we have highways and heavy cars. Now we are lost. Switzerland has 41288 sqare kilometers, and 8.6 million people, compare this to Canada!! I would like to live the way you are living and I am envy of your lifestyle. If I see the grandious beauty of your home, I tell you, money doesn't count that much. Stay happy and in love Richard, we had + 15 degees Celsius last week!!
Thank you so much Richard!! I empathize with you and completely agree...the world loses wilderness every day and we almost never get any back. It might take centuries but I fear Canada will be the same someday as societies always give in to the power of money
Far northern igloo builders benefit from the element of natural compaction of the snow as it lays on the land longer, brushed by the strong winds of open vistas and cured hard by months of micro-melt from the arctic sun. Only thus can snow be building material. Thanks for a really fun vid!
The sunlight twinkling on the new powder was so nostalgic I had to go get a shot of scotch to warm me up. These times don't last forever. Thank you for reminding us of the riches we once shared and carry with us still, like so many chapters in our personal coffee table book.
Another great one. Really like this one actually, for 2 reasons; 1) Content (love winter hot tenting, especially when it's really cold)... and 2) The editing was amazing... those little cuts to the birds, scenery, and addition of music were so peaceful (anxiety reducing), and makes you feel closer to the actual environment there. Your hard work in the editing room is not going unnoticed :)
Man I have not heard Cremation of Sam McGee in a lot of years! Plus I really love that sound of super cold snow crunched under feet. I can listen to that all day long
This was awesome and one of my favorite episodes! I am a huge fan of Les Stroud survivor man and his survival episodes in the Boreal forest. Maybe one day I will make it up there.
Oh man I was tickled that it stayed in that spot for me to fix my lens on it and then flew perfectly out of frame...usually your frame lands on a bird and that's exactly when they leave lol
I want to grow up to emulate Erin! Lol. She has awesome skills, a fabulous sense of adventure, and totally enjoys the process. Now, I just need to find my Jon. ;-) Thanks to both of you for sharing your experiences with us!
Hahah aw 💚 I find it painful to even imagine if one of us hadn't swiped right, so I guess you'll just have to keep swiping right---literally or figuratively :) Thanks as always Rae!
I couldn't think of a better way to ring in the new year! This is one of my favorite videos as it embodies all the intense beauty and fun of winter camping. I think my favorite part was Erin's sister reading The cremation of Sam Mcgee. She did a wonderful job!Thank you so much for bringing us along on this one. I loved it!
If anyone can convince someone to try camping either winter or summer it is you and Erin. Your videos are always so innovative and fun. NEVER BORING. You’s make it seem so effortless although I know it is extremely hard. Such beautiful pics of the stars and the beauty around you’s. Thank you so much for taking us along😘
What a great adventure! The production must have been just grueling at that temperature, but you made it seamless. Loved the igloo form what a great idea! Happy new year to you both, thanks so much for bringing us along and making us look forward to the next video every time!!!
You really captured the essence of the experience. It was magnificent out there. So glad I got to see it. Loved the night sky and cremation of Sam McGee … it should be a new year tradition! Way to go Kesia! Excellent and beautiful editing!
I love it. The scenery and blue skies are awesome. The night star shots incredible. Winter is so much fun when it's possible to get out during the daytime to have fun.
love yer vids greets from the netherlands! im skipping winter for the 2nd time in 2 years , goint 2 the canarian islands nice and warm . helps missin the cold ....
Y’all are BRAVE and wonderful! So much here to love and admire your fortitude, sense of fun, and adventure no matter what the conditions. Oh to be in my 30’s again ( or 40’s 0r 50’s LOL). The best NYE I ever spent was in my late teens snowshoeing in the woods of NH with snow falling an big beautiful moon above with a great friend 💜🥂 Thanks again for all you do!!!
Absolutely loved watching this x so beautiful, peaceful and breathtaking. What a fantastic way to celebrate the new year, but boy what a chilly one. I appreciate all your efforts. Filming is tough at the best of times let alone at these extreme temperatures. Thank you for bringing this to us xxx
Wonderful! Wonderful trip to do with your sister too! Glad family got to see camp and the igloo looks like it will work well in the future! Cold, cold! Thanks for sharing!
@@LostLakes ya I think you're right. Very similar birds. Purple Finch breed just North of Superior and can be seen year round throughout the lake and south. But looking closer at the plumage I would agree with you.
I love your videos. As far as building an igloo, just take a couple of plastic milk crates. You just pack them with snow and make blocks and stack them. I have made several with the help of students.
Love your content and the fact that that it is truly high quality. You don't need nor try to sell your channel by flaunting yourselves. I commend you for keeping the value real
We could feel the joy from you all, the beautiful blue sky and white trees were stunning, will trade you a well used canoe paddle for the both of them… lol… cheers
Great trip and amazing visuals as always, Jon and Erin. If you don't mind some observations about your igloo build from someone who's used the Icebox Igloo Tool for many years, I have a couple: I noticed the yellow and red toggle handle was hanging beneath the pole at times (when building the ramp) and noticed that again when you were working on level 3. The toggle handle should rest on top of the pole, so it doesn't pop out of position and cause the form to spread before you are completed the block and ready to release it. In good snow packing conditions, that doesn't matter a great deal, but in very dry, granular snow conditions, you want that form clamped tight around the block you are building or else the loose snow will pour out the inside bottom. The 10' igloo is an ambitious first build. Lots of blocks in that one! But the good news is, you were actually MORE than halfway completed since the lowest courses contain so many more blocks than the upper courses. Had you set out to build the 8-footer, which would accommodate both of you comfortably, you likely would have completed it shortly after dark. So, great work and I look forward to seeing you camping in your first completed igloo. Please hit me up with questions about the tool, if you have any. Cheers and all the best to you both this new year, - Martin
Just the person I needed to hear from, thanks for this Martin! I'm quite certain we would have continued using the toggle upside down for years to come if you hadn't said that😂 We tried an 8ft igloo first near home (without filming) and just built the first couple of rows to hopefully prepare us for this outing (and watched your vids, Icebox's, and others) but evidently we still have a lot to learn about this...but we're excited to try again :) The 8ft footprint looked rather small when we began it and I felt like I wouldn't be able to sleep in it at 6'4", but I think we'll try 8ft again next time in the interests of just getting one done. We made some human error mistakes with ones we've started but one of our biggest problems still is having blocks crumble when shifting the form. The snow has been dry and we read in the instructions about applying 7lbs of pressure and how to make the snow lock (and we release the toggle and u-bar of course), but that's a skill we're going to have to work on. Thanks again Martin, always welcome your insight! If you see anything else, we're all ears 👂👂👂👂
@@LostLakes Hmmm, at 6' 4", you would be fine in the 8 footer, since that is the interior diameter, but it would mean you would want to sleep more or less along the centerline of the igloo, with Erin off to the side a bit. But, you could always make a 9 footer, which wouldl be more than roomy for you both. Remember, an igloo is a heat trap because it insulates well, but the heat it traps is generated by your body heat and cooking, so you don't want it to be more spacious than necessary, as that means more cold air you must warm. Too large an igloo is needlessly cold, as the body heat spreads and cools faster than it can accumulate in all that cold air. There are tips for preventing crumbling blocks, but I would almost need to see what you were doing and what the snow was like (though I think I got a sense of the latter from your video). Hit me up on FB for video call sometime of you want some tips and pointers. Cheers, -Martin
@@PineMartyn That's good to know, I wasn't sure if the igloo sizes were the inside or outside diameter. 9ft might be the sweet spot for me if Erin's there...I hate the thought of brushing walls easily with my heat or feet and dusting them with snow repetitively through the night if I drift one way or the other. But I think we'll try the 8ft next time...welcome your feedback on that one too. Thanks again!!
This was fun, the way you took to the little moments, like dancing water on the stove. But I was thinking that I want to rewatch the video where Erin breaks the ice with her legs while pulling the canoe..epic video. You are made of sturdy material fersure .
Happy New Year Jon and Erin. Loved the video, that Igloo form is too cool!! I think I might snare one of those.lol. Wishing you all the best for 2022. Cheers!
Great as always ! Always enjoy your winter outings. Summer ones too of course ! Nice to see “CZcamsrs” using a heavy duty stove for winter camping. Can’t beat them in our Canadian winters. Thanks for sharing. Take care and stay safe.
You two keep raising the bar each time. Absolutely capturing what it is really like without hyperbole that is so common these days. In my 60's now and just do not "appreciate " the hardships like I used to. Your shot of stoking that stove in the middle of the night, the sound it makes just brought back so many memories. Thank you for capturing what so few will ever experience and being real about it. Happy New Year to both of you.
Greatly appreciate that Joc!! Too funny to hear from you now because I'm at the Dead Otter access and just brought up your name taking to the trappers here
@@LostLakes keep an eye out there for willy mooses. I unintentionally left them all free to roam Dead Otter for another year on last weekend of hunting. Really nice country back there past the new cut. Enjoy.
Happy New Year! So many great things about this video....the cool igloo tool - who knew? Spectacular scenery, sister time, poetry, boiling water “art”, delicious food, playing in the snow, dancing water droplets on the stove - what a great way to bring in the new year. Outstanding edit, Jon.
Ah my favorite camping experience. Winter cold camping it’s so quite, solitude, no rude people just beautiful scenery, wildlife. Erin is pretty good with that splittiNg maul. The igloo looks like a lot of work but you need something to keep you busy. I’m sure it was a lot of work. You might want to take some scotch next time instead of red wine. Happy new year guys love ya.
And when you get those cold, sunny days with everything snow-coated, it's just blissful :) The igloo is a lot of work but we're excited to try again. Oh there was scotch too 😅 Thanks as always John and happy new year to you!
Another great video. Can't wait to see you build another igloo, that was pretty cool! All the best in 2022. Looking forward to seeing the channel grow.
I have to give props to Erin with her wood splitting capabilities. Seemed far superior than when you tried! 🤣. Erin your sister did good but I understand not liking the extreme conditions. Great video!!!
Cool , ha,ha . Remindes me of my winter back packing in Montana years ago , expect I was not near as well equipped . A good new year to you and yours .
What a nice way to spend New Year's Eve. Loved the champagne toast & throwing hot water & watching it freeze. The igloo looked great. Nice block building tool. Never saw that before. You'll finish one next time. Really looked cold, but you all had a nice time. Best wishes in the new year!

Thanks Maggie! Hahah it's too bad we got such brutal temps for the times we've planned to go out with her
That's the beauty of frozen dead trees. They split very easily. Took that poem in high school, lol.
Hey Erin. I grew up chopping wood for our family's sole source of heat/cooking/hot water. It's a satisfying and gratifying feeling of accomplishment and self-reliance. Enjoy! Beats the hell out of a trip to the gym.

I absolutely love it when i see true canadians on youtube and it makes be sooo happy!
My wife and I love you two. Great video it warmed my heart listening to the poems.
Thanks you two! 💚💚 Just a brilliant poem
Happy New Year you two!
Happy new year XanMan!

Jack London, "to build a fire" would also be fitting to read by the fire. Awesome guys!
Sorry I’ve been busy. I will try to resume my weekly binge watching and thumb upping.
😁😁
What a fun video !!!! Erin and her sister having fun together !
That was some extremely cold temps !!!!

Had an old scout master that had that poem memorized and could recite it on a cold night around the 🔥. Nicely done.
That's awesome...just perfect for that setting

Thanks again Mike! I love it...feels so wild like a jungle
Great guys that would be a memorable show and a awesome way to bring in the new year.
2:51 Beautiful capture of a Pine Grosbeak!👏
I was wondering what the name of that stunningly beautiful bird was. Thank you kindly.👋
Oh man I was tickled that it stayed in that spot for me to fix my lens on it and then flew perfectly out of frame...usually your frame lands on a bird and that's exactly when they leave lol
That igloo build blew me away!!! You couldn't give the builder to a child, but I'll bet it brought you back to your childhood days?
Hahah absolutely...really want to try again
You two make me laugh so much - many thanks for that.
Erin is comedy gold - 22:35

Thanks a lot Adam! You can bet we will not stop trying til we get one done lol

One of my favorite from Robert Service. Read the Ballad of Blasphemous Bill I love that one too. Looks like you guys had fun...too cold for me!
I had to memorize a good portion of that poem in middle school!! I had pretty much forgotten about it till now...

Happy New Year! So many great things about this video....the cool igloo tool - who knew? Spectacular scenery, sister time, poetry, boiling water “art”, delicious food, playing in the snow, dancing water droplets on the stove - what a great way to bring in the new year. Outstanding edit, Jon.
Really appreciate that April!! Happy new year!
Ah my favorite camping experience. Winter cold camping it’s so quite, solitude, no rude people just beautiful scenery, wildlife. Erin is pretty good with that splittiNg maul. The igloo looks like a lot of work but you need something to keep you busy. I’m sure it was a lot of work. You might want to take some scotch next time instead of red wine. Happy new year guys love ya.
And when you get those cold, sunny days with everything snow-coated, it's just blissful :) The igloo is a lot of work but we're excited to try again. Oh there was scotch too 😅 Thanks as always John and happy new year to you!
The things Canadians get up to in the depths of winter still amaze me even after 20 odd years of living here. Love ever minute.🥶❤
Another great video. Can't wait to see you build another igloo, that was pretty cool! All the best in 2022. Looking forward to seeing the channel grow.
I have to give props to Erin with her wood splitting capabilities. Seemed far superior than when you tried! 🤣. Erin your sister did good but I understand not liking the extreme conditions. Great video!!!
That's heaven, and that much more special with someone you love.
Happy 2022🥳
What an awesome video. Nature is amazing. So beautiful. Thanks. Happy New Year.
Well done once again guys!
Thanks Stephen!
Let 22 be a good one for you guys!!
Beautiful video! Happy New Year!
Cool , ha,ha . Remindes me of my winter back packing in Montana years ago , expect I was not near as well equipped . A good new year to you and yours .
Hahah we're fortunate to have a pretty solid kit for this :) Same to you Richard!
Once again, thank you so much for sharing with us all your "slide" into 2022. As my fam would say (well some members at least) Guten Rutsch!
Great presentation. Have a safe and happy one.
The snow shoe bit was seriously funny. Thanks for sharing.
That igloo mold is super cool! And awesome video as always with stunning golden hour footage 😊. Keep them coming and happy new year!

Lovely film. 👍👍🤗😳 Thank you. Fun activities. Thank you for finding a flat icicle....have I ever seen one?
Hahah good question... thanks a lot Linda!
Thank you thank you
I just have no concept of what -35C must feel like.
Excellent videography as always and kudos to Erin's sister for giving it a go.
Hahah it feels like cold fire. Hold your hand in the back of your freezer, then double it 😝 Thanks Si!!
@@LostLakes As a retired firefighter I can tell you what it feels like inside an oven at +300C...hot fire ;)
@@rialobran hahaha good god!
Happy New Year from Alaska. Stay safe and enjoy life. Bruce and Kate Jordan
What a nice way to spend New Year's Eve. Loved the champagne toast & throwing hot water & watching it freeze. The igloo looked great. Nice block building tool. Never saw that before. You'll finish one next time. Really looked cold, but you all had a nice time. Best wishes in the new year!
One of my faves by Robert Service.
