LONG-TERM CAMP: This is the third/final video at the long-term winter camp. We set it up on the previous trips if you missed them.
AUDIO: Something went wrong with the mic on the main cam for a bunch of shots (muffled, a few times recorded nothing). Used the action cam more than usual too and the DJI action 3 mics suck. Did my best to salvage it at home but some clips just don't sound right...sorry about that. Also got the worst piece of sensor dust of all time on day 6 🤦♂ But the best of the winter is yet to come. 10-day adventure next.
The music is great and reminds me of Iohan Gueorguiev's soundtrack selection when he was bikepacking through the South American snow. Some of the finest soundtrack work ever done on CZcams, sadly it ran into copyright issues even though he was using it under license and I don't know if you can find it now, but the soundtrack music was Inti Illimani.
John, where do you get the music from? Maybe I missed the answer previously? Thx

Hey John! Wicked video once again!! I watched it last night and now just read your comment here. I never noticed anything wrong with the sound you edited it all perfectly!👌 the skating was fun to watch and awesome job with the drone shots!! Very cool👍
@@The-Dutch-Explorer thanks Koen!
Lost lakes is one of the few channels I click like before I watch the video because I know it's going to be a banger.
haha same here 👊👊
I know right?!❤
Exactly what happened here😂💪✌
Every time too
every time!!
I fight with my wife when we assemble an IKEA chair. I can’t imagine building an igloo with her 😂. Great work guys!
Hahah I found this tool to be like the most frustrating IKEA build ever. Thankfully Erin has more patience
The overhead shots of the shoveling/igloo were awesome. Erin's persistence and determination building was also something to behold. You guys are great.
Great determination on the igloo Erin👏🎉.Guys the content was awesome the filming and drone is outstanding.
The sound of the lake is like nothing Ive ever heard before. So amazing. Thank you for giving us all the gift of being able to hear that sound. SO sick.
That igloo is amazing! Looked so awesome with the blue light showing through at night. Great choice of music and wonderfully filmed…. As always.
Erin really did an awesome job building and going solo in the igloo. Her chopping and splitting wood skills are second to none not to mention her ability to pull you from an icy death Jon. Easy choice to marry her! Great episode and editing as always. Nice work Erin!
The best storyteller in this genre! I'm waiting for the book ;) Keep the videos coming.
Amazing video! You two are such an adorable couple and work so well together and skate well too!
Pro hockey technique.
That was fun watching you both skate on the lake!
Nice igloo!
And such incredible beautiful scenery, editing & music , and the sound of that awesome ice cracking Wow! That is so cool!
Phenomenal video!!
Do you want a toothpick? I made them myself. 😂
Hard to explain how it feels to move from the intro into the start of a Lost Lakes story to the uninitiated. Always a privilege guys - thank you from Australia
This is what marriage is all about. True companions!!❤
You and Erin make a great team. I thoroughly enjoyed this video
Great video, love winter camping and the “booming” ice. Thank you, it’s been years since I heard that sound. You guys are great!
WOW! I have traveled quite a bit in my younger days, seen some beautiful country in the Yukon and beyond, and I tried in vain to capture the astonishing beauty of so many experiences, but my lord you’ll take it to another level, thank you for sharing your adventures with us! I’m 65 now, done a whole lot in my youth, only problem I have now is the only evidence exists in my memories, which isn’t bad mind you, just more difficult to share. So again, thank you for sharing such beauty! Oh I too have built a few igloos and yes it’s tricky
The night shots of the igloo was the best. Erin is brave sleeping in a cold igloo
John, you struck Gold with Erin. You two make a great team. You love your adventures wherever you go together. May God bless and always keep you safe. Thanks for sharing with us.
It never ceases to amaze me that you guys always seem to have the lakes all to yourself...so lucky you have all that wilderness to play in!
Great job..fun to watch...a reminder to us all ..that ...THESE ARE ...THE GOOD OLD DAYS
You know it's a cold climate when -5 is "cozy". Another spectacular adventure Jon and Erin - thanks for taking us along, and for all your effort with the editing too.
I just ❤ all of your videos!!! Especially those with John & Erin. You two are living the dream & there are so many of us that appreciate you sharing the experiences. 🥰😊
Congratulations you guys!!!! Such an amazing episode!! I love Erin. AND John, of course. The overall quality of the entire video is hands down as good as an y studio quality production. You two are GREAT together. ❤ Thank you for sharing
I never get tired of hearing the ice popping in these videos. Such an intense sound. I wouldn’t sleep a wink if it was going on around me all night long!
The igloo was so freaking cool. I know that was a crap ton of work, well done hanging in there both of you! The sense of accomplishment was well worth it I’m sure. I was shocked when you got on top of it! So cool.
Great video, thanks!
damn she slept on the ice, mad respect.
So much wholesomeness here
This is great fun to watch, but gotta say the most Canadian thing I've ever witnessed! Cheers
Your channel is the reason I winter camp. I would have never even considered it. You take the the risk out of it by showing how to do it without dying. Thank you.
What a tremendous achievement! Congratulations on those two BEAUTIFUL structures. Both so artistically crafted and landscaped too! 😄 I was thinking that unfinished one was a perfect ice fishing wind break too, glad you got to use it, even if you didn't catch anything. I sure would want to spend a bunch of nights in the completed igloo too if I had worked that hard on it. What a fun week! Thank you for taking us along. 🏕
Erin is a keeper. Loved this video.
Congratulations on completing the igloo! Patience, determination, and skill win. Very enjoyable vid. Thank you.
So happy to see Erin again! Absolutely love the channel, Jon! But adore your videos together. 😊 one day I’ll prioritize my craving to be outdoors with my doggos over work. In the meantime, I’ll live vicariously through you two. Thanks so much for sharing your adventures! ❤
What a cool trip! That shot of the glowing blue igloo on the lake at night with the stars overhead was mesmerizing , and the (Peruvian?) flute music really lent a fitting touch to the picturesque scenes. Bravo to Erin for her resilience in not giving up on the igloo build and the sense of adventure in soloing overnight in it, twice! You two are renegades! 👏🏼
Awesome!!! Erin’s personal Pantheon!!!! 👍😃
Whoa, amazing night images of the igloo lit from within. Among the best night camping pictures I’ve ever seen. Congrats on persevering!
intro drone shots are amazing
Definitely, it was an experience of the "joys of winter!"
What an awesome episode! Erin, incredible job on the igloo. Imagine somebody coming along and finding it. No way they pass up spending a night in there. Jon- nice job feeding the wood stove and reading in the warm tent.
Simply amazing! I was sad when your video came to a close! I could watch your videos for ever! Keep up the great CZcams content👍👍👍
Thanks so much Dale!
Erin's persistence pays off! Finally igloo success! Then to sleep it total commitment. Like having your own private mini ice hotel as they do in Quebec City. Kept thinking she was really braving it, especially with no bag o'scotch 😥. Now im just waiting for the game cam lynx footage, next time forsure, third times the charm!
That sound! Imagine sleeping on top of it. Awesome as usual.
I rarely watch a video that is this long and I must say I was totally captivated by your entire trip! Although my knees ached just thinking about being out in those temps lol
Great show loved the igloo and what a nice way to find peace in all seasons.
Erin is such a joy. Her drive and focus without which you never would have built the igloo. I’m with you Jon - quihnzee. Made one in Algonquin with the kids when they were young. Worked great but -30° - helped it sinter fast. Loved the drone “art” shots and cracking ice was a new one. Finally a dose of winter in a season of 💩. Thanks to both of you. 🤗
Just love the interacrion between jou two, always such a joy to watch you both ❤
It would be so nice if my wife would enjoy camping all year round. I enjoy all your videos and watch them over and over.
Could you imagine getting your wife to go out in -30 to build an igloo on a frozen lake.
So do I!! Especially the canoeing / fishing ones!!
I wish my husband wanted to do these adventures.
If it were me my favorite part was the Ice skating. Im an old bird and I miss it. Glad to see you guys had so much fun.
Really a great trip! The ice sounds, which most have never heard, the igloo building, the night photography, a first class production. Thanks so much for sharing the beauty of winter in northern Ontario.
!
Well finally.Erin is a part of these.A must.
Been watching for a few years now. I’ve watched other channels, but I keep coming back to yours. Love it. Keep up the good work and stay away from Xander.
Lol thanks a lot Greg :)
Beautiful!!! Just beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing you two! 🤗♥️🔥🌅
Don't you feel one with the world when you stand and look at the night sky. Great video, guys. Congrats, fantastic fantastic
Y'all are the best, and so in love with each other and that's great how you work together, I love watching EVERYDAY, never miss a episode, and the music suits the show. Sometimes I feel like I'm there, so beautiful. I pray y'all are together forever 💓 just amazing show. God watch over you on your journeys! Diane Studs!😊
The statement from Erin hope Jon isn't too uncomfortable inside the tent with his big stove. Lol. Super shots of night time igloo.
After how many seasons, you folks finally got that igloo made: awesome! I'm sure it's warmer than an arctic tent with a coleman stove. Once again, I noticed a few Army surplus items that Erin uses. That sleeping bag weights a ton but it does a great job of keeping you warm.
Ya that bag surprises me with how well it keeps her warm versus my pricey down bag
It’s really fun hearing you two interact
Great one! Loved it! You married a great one my man! Had a really good laugh when Erin said (i hope Jon is gonna be ok in the hot tent tonight) 😂
That's one tough Chick!
"I could write my will on here. To whom it may concern." 😂😂
So calm and quiet
I LOVE how optimistic Erin is!
This was extrodinary beautiful to watch. First of all you are such a sweet couple and watching you two together makes me smile. hearing those ice sounds is unbelievable. I´ve never heard that before, sound sureal! And you really made that trip like a holiday out of a dream: Ice skating, exploreing, fishing, building an iglu and sleep in it, hunting chaga, .... What an adventure!! Thanks a lot for sharing that with us, Jon and Erin.
Of all the things I mastered in life, splitting wood was just never on the list. The men Folks took care of it in-the Summer and just never crossed my mind to Learn! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
This guy is an artist ❤
Hello Jon and Erin. Congratulations on your igloo build!
I watched the igloo-building portions of your video with special interest and, as I saw the first layer being built, I wished I could have been there to warn you about a problem with your anchor spike. Part of the reason your transition between layers was difficult was that your spike was raised (possibly as much at 5" off the surface of the ice in a mound of snow you piled up to hold it in place. The center spike should be set into the snow (or in this case, the ice) at the same height as the bottom of the first layer of blocks. That discrepancy would have thrown off the three-dimensional geometry. In future, if you are building on ice, chop a small narrow hole in the ice where the spike will be set, pour in some water and loose snow, and then wait for the spike to freeze into place. This will ensure that the spike and bottom of the first layer are on the same level. The other reason you were experiencing gaps was that you were filling the form with snow all the way up to the top. For both the 8' and 9" igloo builds, the form should NOT be filled all the way up, but rather 1" to 2" from the top, otherwise the walls climb too high (and then lean in too soon), all of which again deviates from the desired catenary arch shape and results in those gaps between the inside wall of the lower block and the inside panel of the form.
With all that said, however, that gap you showed is not that uncommon and can happen even when everything is done correctly. The way to deal with it is for the form-handler to cram a mittened hand under the inside panel of the form and block the hole up as much as possible while the shoveler drops in a lot of snow, essentially choking the opening with a lot of snow, which is then packed. No doubt, something like that is what you did to deal with those gaps, so good on you both for working it out.
Hope this helps, and kudos to you and Erin on your perseverance!
Cheers,
- Martin
Thanks a lot Martin! That was so frustrating as we thought we were so careful but makes good sense now. I think we're finally through the worst of the learning curve 😅
Thanks for your feedback! After the first one didn’t line up I was wondering if the centre piece being slightly elevated was part of the issue. It seemed so minor that I dismissed the idea but hearing you explain it I understand how it would impact each subsequent level.
It’s a fascinating tool, I enjoy learning how it works and it feels satisfying to finally have succeeded with one.
Thanks again for the insights!
Well, you two darlings are just adorable together.
I so enjoyed this one. Wtg Erin, loved the igloo. Thanks for sharing this awesome trip!!
Lucky in love and Mother Nature ❤️
Absolutely Amazing Totally Awesome video. The very best. Totally worth all the work you both put in to build that beautiful great Igloo. ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️☃️🌬️🌨️🤗💕
Such fantastic camera work, I come here to help rewind before sleep but I am always so invested in seeing the video through!!! ❤
Simply beautiful
Absolutely loved watching you both building this igloo Fabulous job and experience
Such a pleasure to watch 🥰
I appreciate the time and effort you enjoy the overhead visuals enough to re shovel and reshoot.
I’ve done similar things that no one has seen but only for my self gratification.
Nice to know I’m not the only “weirdo” amoung us.
I’m not alone 😊
Maybe my favorite chapter yet?!! But I love every single Lost Lakes video. 😊 Magical, for a girl that grew up 10 miles from the Florida border.
That sky is beautiful :)
This is one of most beautiful videos I've seen. You have brought me so much joy, John and Eren. Beautiful music too
💚
I really loved this one. It was a sweet balance of interesting, inspiring, good pacing, endearing, cuteness, and so forth. The video equivalent of hearty good for you comfort food. The aerial views of the shovel patterns in the snow were gorgeous!! That was inspiring too... what kind of art can one make with a shovel and snow.
On a personal note, I wasn't that interested in building snow shelters... why take on all that work when I have a hot tent, down-burrito winter hammock, etc. But this was very inspiring to me and I may try one day.
Thank you very much, as always. 💜
Thanks a lot Andrea! If you have a lot of patience to self-teach, it's not bad. But if I were to start again I would become very practiced with them at home or at a local park before trying to do it on a backcountry trip. (We did practice at home but just the first couple of layers.) Hard to justify when you own a hot tent though, I know!
Why not try building more like an igloo cabin rather than the traditional dome form? Might be easier 🤔 I just love how you guy's genuinely enjoy each other's company & work as a team to get things done and most importantly you make each other smile & laugh ❤ all great signs of a healthy strong relationship. I hope you have a long happy life together as I did with my husband (46 years) 😊❤ congrats on completing your igloo!! 👏
Great video and what a great igloo. Good for Erin for sleeping in it too. Very brave of her.
i like you both camping together
Amazing! Erin is way better at chopping the wood than Xander will ever be😂. Mad skills lady. The aerial of the igloo reminded me of Art Attack. If you know, you know👏🏼❤
Well done.
The igloo is quite a feat! And so fun to watch! Did you cover over the entrance to the igloo as you slept?! I find your adventures so soothing to watch! You both are so calming! Thank you for sharing! ( and the lake sounds?!? There No way I’d sleep!!)
Thanks, Jon & Erin!
I'm enjoying this video. 😊
Congrats you've done it Erin is so brave to sleep inside the igloo takecare
The effort, time and energy you put into this video is amazing. Pleasure to watch and encouraged me to get outside. Thank you both! Subscribed
At the 45 minute mark, you're thinking moose and I'm thinking Bigfoot 😂
One of your best winter trips yet for sure. So nice to see you two out together. Have to give you guys a lot of credit. That’s a tonne of work building that igloo and winter camping. Seriously no joke. Loved the compression is those telephoto shots. Top notch thumbnail as well. Saw that new pany 28-200 came out, could be a nice little lens for you guys. Anyways, hope that burger 🍔 and shower was good, certainly well deserved.
Thanks buddy :) That caught my eye as well and if it was 20mm at the wide end I'd be quite interested. Did pick up their new 100mm macro though. Probably going to drive my channel into the ground with excessive B-roll now heh
That was excellent! So neat that Erin is filming too.
Congrats on the igloo!!! I also loved the designs made around the igloos on the ice those were so pretty!! Thanks for sharing
Absolutely adore you two. So many highlights in this one ... as always 😊 Love your content! Visual eye candy and adventures that never disappoint ❤
We really enjoy your shows, they are very interesting and relaxing.
Cool! Shots at 1:19 blew me away. Thanks for sharing the great experience
A fun 1.5 hours to watch especially the igloo antics and chemistry you both have. Live long and prosper and keep that snow shovel on the ice!
Lol thanks Mark! 🏒
What a wonderful adventure! You two ROCK! TY!
I don't think I have ever missed a video From Lost Lakes or the previous channel. Saw when you and Erin got engaged, but completely missed MARRIED!!! You referred to Erin as "My wife." twice is this video Congratulations to you both. You make a great outdoor couple. Keep 'em coming.
Thank you! Posted it in Dec :)
So much fun. Thanks for having me along Jon, and Erin. My favourite part is when you both on your way to work. I couldn't stop laughing.
The music made me feel like i was watching this at PF Chang's.......and that is a great thing
Fantastic outing. I throughly enjoyed your adventure. Thank you!
The snow is so fine I'm amazed at packs at all.
It's so beautiful the view I like it I like both of you every time you vlog in different places my first time also commenting only in your vlog I like watching how you sleep with snow around you be careful and take care God bless
Yay skates!! What a wonderful adventure 😊 so nice to see the two of you out together again yous make such an amazing team ❤ it's so beautifully filmed I feel like I'm right there with you and since it hasn't snowed in Ireland this week that means a lot to me to be able to enjoy the snow through your movie... Thank you for sharing your trips
