    Wow I love this channel, it's rare to find someone who treats the wilderness and its inhabitants with the proper humility and respect, and you really have a good way of making the wilds the main character here. Even the music is very spare, light, and ambient, and puts nature's song in the forefront.

    I'm pretty sure that I have watched all of your videos to date. This one is by far your best yet. Your production has evolved to a new level, well done. I can't thank you enough for taking me on your trips. I'm a month or so shy of my 78th birthday, recovering from hip replacement and remembering my 10 years or so of wilderness canoeing and camping. I emigrated from the UK to Minnesota in the mid 80's, and discovered the Boundary Waters Canoe Area soon thereafter. Great memories, but now limited by health issues to enjoying the adventures of kind and talented young people like you and Xander B. Thank you so much, Jonathan, for dedicating your time to make these videos. ❤

      I grew up in the nwt and southern Yukon. And to me that's beauty. Spent time up in Tuktoyaktuk working offshore and then way up in the arctic building the north warning system and seen some amazing sights like the smoking hills in Horton river also home to a tidal bore and a distant early warning line site. Where when we landed in the early fall in a twin Otter on skis we were dropping streamers out the aircraft door to get some orientation on the snow but when we landed we were jumping snow drifts 8ft high thank god those aircraft land slow and stop on a dime, they just dumped us and took off and we had to dig out the camp that was erected in the summer months. Scariest thing I did ever.

    I agree with you about the anti-climactic wildlife/waterfall etc on this trip but seriously ironically one of your best trips. I can’t explain it; perhaps the reason was it truly was a Lost River and it epitomized your channel and your love for the unestablished campsites. Looking at the abandoned long ago used fire pits and trails WAS the BEST. How ironic no fanfare no woodland caribou no eagle dropping a fish in your head nothing fancy but your Best Trip Yet. You know that saying “I don’t know who needed this video but here it is ..” lol it was me and you will never know how much watching that inspired me to keep putting one foot in front of the other during a rough time by experiencing something I can’t explain. Thank you and Hi to Erin.

  • @bradsharpetrout499
    @bradsharpetrout499 Před 21 dnem +4

    John I flew into the headwater lake of this river back in 2017 and it sounds pretty much the same . Lots of trout but topping out at 17 inches . We canoed and fished as far down the river as the falls . Didn't catch a lot of fish in the river but we did see a ton of moose. That upstream portion on the East seems like to much effort for the reward . The lake you want to get into lies just west of the headwater lake and is in a tee shape . You can portage to it using the hydro line and the fish there are big and plentiful

    Watching this while having my lunch in the city in London, UK. Brings me right back to tripping with my camp, dad & brothers and friends when I was younger. Makes me really miss Canada - this is truly the best of what it offers

    Another Wonderful adventure!! Your cinematography skills just keep getting better and better. The way that you capture sunrises and sunsets, wildlife, birds, flowing water, the portages....it makes the viewer feel like they are coming along on the journey with you. Thank-you for the many hours that you spend filming and sharing these videos. They are true pleasure to watch.
