MUSIC: tracks are mostly licensed from Artlist.io and if you use the voice search on your phone, there should be a button to ID the song for you there (or a dedicated song ID app). Otherwise feel free to ask in the comments.
Dude don’t sweat the comments, no one is perfect and honestly everything in some way shape or form is carcinogenic or bad for you in high amounts. A few sips in the hammock with a good book sounds fantastic on a cold camp night
What comments? I can’t see any negative comments?
@@DanielleHamill1987 in the video he talked about alcohol consumption and in the past some people were criticizing him for having a drink
Yeah, youtube comments are not to be taken seriously. I imagine most of the negative ones just have no joy in their lives, so they look to bring others down with them. I guess, I really don't know. This dude is nothing but cool and genuine. Why anyone would be so offended by any of his stuff is asinine lol
Awesome 😮😮
Awesome 😮😮
Nothing wrong with enjoying a little scotch Jon. I'm from Wisconsin where drinking is practically an olympic sport. The way you partake is done responsibly and I think totally appropriate.
I always bring a few ounces of whiskey along when I head out into the wilderness. There's nothing quite like being alone in the peace and quiet of nature and having a little sip of the old fire water!
Cheers buddy!
Tonight is going to be a good night!!
This has got to be one of the best channels on this website. What beautiful scenery and remote vastness of water and land! The beard puns and chip addiction story line throughout the video were the REAL cherry. Keep up the great work brother! I will be waiting for the next masterpiece!
Thank you so much!
I agree! My fav so far! Very inspirational for me to go wondering around the bush somewhere ! 😂
Keep up the great work! 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
It’s Turkey day AND we get a new video?! Lots to be thankful for!
Absolutely mind blowing trip dude. The sense of serenity that must come while being so deep in the woods on a mysterious lake, would be deeply humbling. Glad this trip worked out. Thanks for the Thursday evening movie.
I completely agree!
Especially you calling the lake mysterious….that’s a real “hoot”.😉
Great camera work. Love the low angle shots and straight down views of leaves stream beds and forest floor. Autumn colors, reflection on water and red lichens stunning. Your love of the wilderness shines through. Thanks for taking us along.
Thank you for feeding my (healthy) addiction to Lost Lakes videos Jon 😎. This was “nature porn” at it’s best! The hills, golden leaves, wildlife, shimmering water, storm, and perfect campsite were exquisite. Loved the analogy of the burned forest and the beard 🧔. Wishing you and Erin a happy wedding and a long lifetime full of adventure together.
Thanks so much April!
LOL. Was thinking the same.
Oh, I forgot to say Congratulations to you and Erin. Health, happiness, and may your future adventures eclipse those from the past.
You are one with the land, the lakes, and the rivers. Your footprint is absent, yet you share your wanderlust and the beauty you see with us. We should all thank you for that. I thank you. 👏🏼 ❤
💚
Moi aussi!
Thank you, Jon. Your consistent attitude of gratitude, humility, playful humour mixed with thoughtful commentary, and sharing of “how to ” ideas combined with beautiful film making make your videos so very rich. The addition in this one of your approach to dealing with a long portage just added another layer to my viewing experience. Thanks again and congratulations to you and Erin on your nuptials
Thanks so much Dennis! :)
Prefer no music. Just nature and your voice when needed. Love your videos- feels like we are with you.
Minnesota native living in Florida for the last 20 years. Watching your videos brings me back to the days of canoeing up north at the lake cabin, camping, shore lunch and the sounds of the loons. I miss it a lot! (palms trees do get old after a while!) Thank you for all the time you put into documenting your journeys to share with the world. It means a lot. Cheers!
Just visiting my son in Florida from Ontario. I'm only here 10 days and I'm tired of palm trees.
Wait till there's 2 ft of snow here . @@86beeman
Well said. I agree. BUT, it’s winter up north, or almost, and I’m not shoveling snow😃
What an incredible trip and absolutely stunning autumn colours. Thank you as always for sharing your adventures and appreciate the time and effort you put into your cinematography and editing. You really are a master of your craft.👏👏👏👏
Great video Jon. Nothing compares to searching out that private lake to have all to yourself. Scenery was incredible!
I always give a thumbs up before I watch the video because I know it’s going to be good
Incredible video as always. Ontario has to be one of the most beautiful places for canoeing in all of North America. Great job.
Loving the flavour of this one Jon. Your filmmaking instincts are spectacular and every new creation you make is evidence that you continue to hone your instrument. Endlessly inspiring, I feel like I'll spend the looming winter planning my first solo crown land excursion. May you be blessed with a 60L barrel of the finest arriba chips. Jontario for the order of Canada!
Hahah very much appreciated!
He will be a member of the order at some point . He's a true Canadian
Your Jays prediction was spot on lol. Pretty sure being a Toronto sports fan takes years off your life...I've come to terms with it
Also, great job on the video!
Lol over the years I've learned to just expect failure and hope for close, exciting games. Thanks buddy :)
John, I know exactly how you feel about the "wunderlust" when one is in the bush. In my 70's now, I long ago came to a point where the fishing didn't matter any more and just being there in the solitude means more than anything. While my legs and knees no longer allow me the luxury of long exploration trips on foot and I won't use an ATV, when people ask me why I still go for my 3 weeks every summer, my answer is just like Sir Edmund Hillary's was when they asked him why he climbed Everest. "Why because it's there ."
I echo the sentiment but I think it was George Mallory that made the "because it is there" response... and he MAY have beaten Hillary to the top!
Thanks, Jon for letting us see this beautiful piece of Canadian wilderness, so well done…………….
totally agree, we are blessed with beautiful wilderness. Thank you Jon for capturing so well on your videos.
Got to say I enjoy a sip or two of single malt on occasion. Fermentation is part of life, enjoy and don’t feel guilty 😂 great video. Always amazing.
Happy US Thanksgiving Jon & Erin! Another terrific trip and kudos for that bag of chips making it all the way 😉💪🏻 Jon, just do YOU! Armchair quarterbacks and critics need not take a moment of your precious time or energy. You are an amazing human and there are so many of us who appreciate you as is! Grateful for your work, insights, and bringing us along with you 🥰 Thank you friend!! Barret P.S. what a lovely way to indulge my post Thanksgiving food coma 💜🙌
Thanks so much Barret! Figured it was a good day to post where almost half of the channel's viewers live :)
@@LostLakes Love to see the channel growing! I tell everyone about Lost Lakes 😉 Saving up for some more swag in this coming year ❤️ Cheers to you both 🥂
@@Barret-paddles 💚💚
I never want your videos to end. They have been a refuge through an extended illness.
Lots of Love from Lithuania. When i see these breath taking nature shots i try to imagine what it feels like to escape buzzing city into such beautiful wild alone. Keep it up atleast i can see all of this because of you.
Talking about things I’m thankful for… ❤ Can’t wait to watch after Thanksgiving dinner!
Outstanding. Thanks Jon.
We were so enthralled with your trip on the lakes. The music you play with the different scenes really made us feel like we were there with you. Thank you for this very special time, so we in our 70's can pretend we are there paddling and camping along with you.
The scenery! The river and the lake were stunningly beautiful. Thank you for taking us along on this trip.
You’re lucky Erin didn’t ask for a refund after seeing you clean shaven! BTW there is something special about an unnamed lake, Mystery Lake. Add in the massive rock faces and fall colours - one of your best trips videos ever! Thank you.
Absolutely awesome! Thank you!
One of your best. Thank you!!
One of my favorites. I could easily live out the rest of my days at your camp and die happy. Thank you for taking us with you!
All right! Lost Lakes is on the case!
How are you and yours, Jon? Thank you for the pleasant surprise and showcasing a forgotten lake.
Hey Adam, we just got back from our wedding trip (more to come on that) so we're doing great thanks :) Hope you had a wonderful thanksgiving!
You're welcome and thank you. Huzzah with your banns of marriage.
This lake reminds me of Blue Lake, east of Rotorua, NZ.
Outstanding Thanks
Gorgeous! Gorgeous landscape!
Amazing trip, fall colors, and ambiance. Top notch work Jon, well done.
What a beautiful lake, especially with those colours! The joy you have out there is palpable...thanks for taking us along. Also, the fact that you take time to film yourself looking longingly at a bag of chips just kills me! Love your channel. Keep it up
Thank you again for the wonderful trip.
This is awesome. Love your channel.
Holy cow! My canoe is all tucked away in the garage for winter and you deliver this gorgeous fall trip!! Those hills covered in fall trees were amazing! Incredible lightning display! Thanks for taking us along!
A spectacular sense of solitude and beauty. How peaceful for you and all of your followers. Many happy years/lifetimes of exploration and happiness to you and Erin
Absolutely wonderful. Thank you sir.
Great trip. Thanks for bringing in!
Again, thank you for taking us on an amazing.adventure Jon. I don't think that there is anything wrong with taking a sip or a few sips of your whiskey. It's like an award for all your hard work. Disregard all those who think you shouldn't even have it with you. Be safe.
Your best yet from all angles ( perhaps light on fishing!). I am in awe of how your love of nature, the environment and your ability to capture all that in film, script and music brings it together I am particularly impressed by your ability to not fear but welcome the solitude and danger of the solo experience most likely because the faith of the love of a good woman who shares many of your interests, your courage and your passion and the prospect of life together. All the best going forth.
Thanks so much John!
Breathtaking and inspirational.
Beautiful lake. Beautiful storm.
Another wonderful video Jon. You are really selling me on that stick stove. I never take my bush buddy because it's so much work to keep feeding it. I like how you can feed yours with longer and larger sticks. You should design and market your own! I'd buy one from you. Cheers!
Thank you :) If I was to design one piece of gear and market it, it would probably be stick stoves...but it would be very similar to this one
@@LostLakeswell I’ll be the first to buy one if you do 👍
❤ hello john, what an incredibly beautiful video, thank you, God is good, I would never have seen something so beautiful in the Netherlands, you are privileged to live in such a beautiful country❤
God bless from the netherlands 👍
Thank you both.❤
Insanely spectacular.
Jon, thanks for your ethic, and gift for film making. I grew up in NW Ontario, and am captivated by your work.
