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!
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.
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!
That moment you went "oh no.." and then switched to the drones shots of the ice. Magical.
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!
National Geographic doesn’t have content as good as this.
Period
Thanks for those 7 years Jon. Always a pleasure to watch your work.
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!!
The cinematography on this episode is just dazzling. Great work!
Wow! Another masterpiece. Lost Lakes never misses. So excited to watch this upcoming canoeing season! Thanks for this phenomenal channel! 👏🏻👏🏻
What would be nice is that you win an award from national geographic society.
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 :)
Happy to see you recover from ur knee injury. Look forward to more videos. Be well and stay positive!
Every frame is a real work of art! You are a master of your craft, continue to delight us with your talent! 👏🎨
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.
😆
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 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.
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.
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.
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
Jon Naan Jovi 😂 good one 👌
Awesome - Lost Lakes night tonight!!
Have to say I’m loving this transition to a birding channel. 😂 Congrats on seven years and here’s to many more. 🎉
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.
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.
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!!
7 years deserves a new boat. What a beaut. Thank you for making incredible content.
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.
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.
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!
I have never fully understood the near manic excitement over an eclipse..if we were still ignorant of the phenomena, it could be understandable, but we now know that it is just the moon covering the sun, and the world is not ending. Truly if you see one, all the others are just the same.
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.😊
How many followers bought better TVs just to enjoy Lost Lakes, Jim Baird and Xander 🤚
😂
Well said
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.
Thanks for explaining that orange color on the beach. I really took a likin' to it.
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.
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.
Ahhhhhh, Nice. Back on the lake with Johnterio. That was along winter my friend.
I don't usually comment on CZcams, but your CZcams 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!
Our symbolic ducks keeps making appearances. First it was the immaculate duck cloud on lake Nipigon, now it's a perfect duck ice sculpture. Time for a poem, it's been a while;
In the heart of icy Lake Superior, John from Lost Lakes ventured in grandeur. With cheese, onion, Jalapeno so fine, Pierogies sizzling, a breakfast divine.
Amidst the chill of the frosty morn, He cooked with love, his spirit reborn. Symbolic duck clouds above did soar, Ice ducks below, approving his lore.
The aroma danced in the crisp air, As John crafted each pierogi with care. The flavors mingled, a symphony sweet, A breakfast feast, a delightful treat.
Lost Lakes whispered tales untold, Of adventures daring, of stories bold. John's pierogies, a culinary delight, Under the watchful duck cloud's flight.
So here's to John, in his cooking domain, Where cheese, onion, and spice reign. In the land of icy lakes and dreams, Where pierogies float in delicious streams. 🍻👍 Great video as always, LL!
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
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😊👍
29:50 So cool to see the Goldeneye's courtship dance. This was my first time seeing it!
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".
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.
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.
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🛶
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 🍻
You are a natural in front of the camera Jon. Another splendid trip masterfully documented. Thanks for taking us along.
I recently came across this channel and I am enthralled. I am a senior now, living in the Columbia Valley BC. But I grew up on Lake Superior and all those little lakes beyond. Lots of time spent in steam baths near a dock and then into the lake. The filming is so visually stunning, takes my breath away from time to time. I can smell the lake, the spruce forest, the campfire. I can taste the blueberries and the pickerel. Memories of me and my family spending so much time in the bush. Thanks for all the pangs in my heart, feels like I am going home. All my best to you and Erin and your friend Xander from Jean.
Greatly appreciate that Jean!!
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
Omh, i love the footage of the ducks doing their little dance😂 so cute! Seems like a maiting ritual.
What a great start to your 2024 canoe tripping season. I can never get enough of otters, just majestic creatures 😊
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.
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!
Oh Jon!! Brilliant, beautiful. Yet another outstanding piece of cinematography. ❤
Well I don’t think I could get more pumped up for the first big trip of the year but this video has me absolutely itching to go! Beautiful video with all the drone shots of the turquoise water and ice. What an incredible place that is. Wildlife was excellent in this video. Glad you played it safe and made this journey another success. 7 years of CZcams. Feels like we’ve been watching you forever! Time flies. Keep up the incredible work, it’s always so enjoyable to watch.
Thanks a bunch you guys ☺️ I remember finding your channel years ago on this lake with your Denison Falls video. Have a great trip!
John and Erin! Came across your videos last year and have been hooked ever since. Highly appreciate this channel as it is often "adventure therapy" through osmosis for us the viewers. May you call yourselves blessed to be able to enjoy wilderness that merely only a few souls have viewed through their eyes. If you ever find yourself in Tennessee, look us up!
Incredible footage..the noisy otter eating the fish 🐟😊...and just everything was incredible. Thank you.
Great sunsets, especially Day 5. And seeing both the otters and the beavers is really cool. Thanks again!
Hey John, the cinematography of the ice sheet? The "Oh No," moment... TOP NOTCH! So well done!
Catching and cooking the fish is my favorite part. 😂more of that please. 😂😂😂
And another great adventure😃 seeing them all. Thanks Jon
Never sell out, dude, I am counting on you. Keep it real and don't heed the call when your phone starts ringing.
Found this channel a few days ago. I love it. It is quickly becoming my favorite channel.
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):
www.canoepaddler.net/shop?page=2
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?
I watch your videos and I feel peaceful.
The beautiful scenery, the gentle splash of the paddle hitting water, birdsong in the air, glimpses of wildlife and your calming voice.
Your trips are so well planned and so uplifting - it’s a wonderful thing.
Thank you for all the pleasure your channel brings.
All the best to you both
A Lecture in Photography!!!! powerful!!! Thanks!!!!
thank you for the MAGIC. x so many really lovely glimpses of what you experience - I snorkel and the shots of the ice over hanging rocks at the edge of the shoreline really gave me that sense of the absorption and meditative feeling you must have where you're just experiencing it. thanks for filming that. absolutely brilliant. also - ice duck was fun.
Lake Baikal. Enough said. God bless you. ❤ your content, please keep them coming.
Getting to watch this right after finishing up Chapter 1 of Trippin' has me feeling so spoiled. 😅
Thankyou for sharing another incredible Superior trip with us Jon. Never gets old
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 bringing us along
Audio is absolutely stellar among nearly all other things. Thank you for yet another gem.
Sheer delight to watch thankyou Jon. Exclaiming long drawn out "wwooow"s at the ice curtains and formations. Heart in mouth at deep freezing chanel crossings. I echo comments in awed admiration of your artistic videography. T.
Always a welcoming gift to see your videos pop up. My dog, Alice and I enjoyed every beautiful moment. The colors in the shoreline rocks just magnificent and the birds so fun to watch. Wonder what was the neck tilting bird behavior was about. Followed iceout on St John River years ago in early May. A super exciting canoe adventure
Awesome Video Jon. Breathtaking
Jon, that was just beautiful. Thanks for taking me along on yet another spectacular adventure. I'm going to say it.... this channel is one of the very best of all of them for couch canoeists like me. And the best part....? I never even got me socks wet.🤩 huge respect btw, scary place to be this early in Canada. Can't wait for what's to come.
What a canoeing paradise, such a variety of wildlife and different water conditions.. so well done
Jon, I have run out of superlatives! Thank you for another glorious journey on Superior and all that immense body of water has to offer. Gordon Lightfoot's lyrics ringing in my ears amidst the wind, white caps, and slapping of your canoe through the water. Otter are the best and just really enjoyed that footage especially after you determined it was not going to be a blood bath 😳 Safety 1st and thankful you enjoyed this 1st trip pf the season!! Paddle steadily 💜 B
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
Jon, just wanted to say this, the important part of camping.... Sanitize. Thank you. I enjoy your videos, they are very well done.
Excellent video. Thanks for taking us along!
Amazing shot of the otter and the sound it makes. I think otters are kind of magical and I see them so rarely and never heard the sound they make. It looks like an amazing trip many many thanks for the videos and brilliant photography
An amazing video. I don’t recall seeing anything like this before in your previous videos. Just awesome 👏
class trip
Congratulations on your 7 year milestone! Its been a wonderful journey! To many more adventures and trips to come! 🥂
Another beautiful calming video. Thanks
Your photography is stunning. Thank you 😊
Your videos remind me of the audiobook I'm currently listening to called, The Twenty-Ninth Day. It takes place in Canada and there's a lot of canoe paddling, portaging, fishing and catching trout, storms, camping, cooking their meals, etc... Just hopefully there's never any of the survival part of the story in common.
Loooooooong to watch!!! Thanks for making them!!!
What an amazing video Jon! I waited until I had time to watch it front back, and was not disappointed, as per usual. I don’t know why, but I hope some lottery winner, or some thing gives you a house overlooking Lake superior so that you can enjoy this muse daily! Be well and enjoy married life!
As we lived in Schreiber 1988 to 1991 with a young family and spending lots of time outdoors, fishing and camping, I find your trips so amazing and brings meback in time. Lake Superior captured my heart. Every summer when traveling to western Canada, we stop for lunch on the shore near Rossport. ❤❤
Beautiful scenery. Love snow and ice formation. Thanks for taking us along with you. God Bless and be safe. ❤❤❤❤❤
YES! Can’t wait for this one.
Congrats on 7 years mate! 🎉
Circumnavigating Simpson is on my most wanted list! I’ll have to get the maps and campsites from you. Lake Superior never disappoints and this was a magic video with all the birds and otters and spectacular ice and crystal clear water… loved it!!
Thanks Barb! You just might find a marked up map in your bday card then :)
Just a great video John - back to your very best! Great visuals, beautifully edited to provide a story and purpose as we travelled ‘with’ you! Thanks so much. Simon. UK.
Jon thank you for sharing your experiences. It's a true inspiration! As a result, I'm planning my first kayaking trip this summer and can't wait to experience some of the peace and wonder you portray in these videos.
This takes my breath away. The beauty 💙
