    Thanks Erin. What a great camp out. As a much older woman I am constantly inspired by women like you who portray the reality of camping alone. I have recently taken up camping alone myself and find it to be both challenging and empowering. I really appreciate your honesty and willingness to share your experiences. I look forward to seeing more of your experiences. Women need your kind of role modelling. Keep it up if you have a passion for it.much thanks, Wendy

    this is insanely impressive to me. I love camping, any time of year, but i didnt realize there is a whole sub segment of humanity that does this as a challenge essentially, and you really handled it so well. On top of that.. i have to LOOK for places that drop to the temps that you're camping in, because it doesnt usually get that cold in my area. I think you are amazing, and i would love to see more of this.

    I'm sitting here at home watching the thermometer bob way up and way down both sides of 0 degrees C. I'm envious and happy your solo camping trip in the wild was successful and productive; ie the right handed spoon. Also congrats on your graduation and your lovely facinating knife. May both serve you all the days of your life. 👍👏

    It was nice to see a lady do a solo snow camping trip.
    You totally rocked at wood processing and looking forward to you doing more whittling.
    That is a very nice knife you have.
    Please do more lady-solo snow camping. Thanks very much Erin.

    Congratulations on your first solo! The first one is the hardest to get through but it builds the confidence for more! Looks like you made a beautiful right handed spoon. My first spoon carving i brought home and sanded then boiled down some chaga for 2 hours and it acts as a wood stain.

    Hi Erin!! Good to see you out there swinging your ax and your new knife is truly art! Really jealous of your winter weather so thanks for giving me a taste. We have had 1-2" of snow so far this "winter" in MA so no fun to be had playing outdoors in the gray, mostly overcast New England global warming environment. 😢💔 Thanks for sharing your 1st winter overnight and hope to see you back out there soon. 💜 Barret

    From a fellow solo female camper to another: Erin, you are my most favorite female counterpart of all the CZcamsrs I watch. I love that you aren't afraid to get out there and chop the wood and build the igloos and haul your own stuff.

  • @robintheoutside
    @robintheoutside Před rokem +4

    Love that you made a right-handed spoon (cause I'm right-handed lol) and congrats on your first solo winter. You and Jon are both a big inspiration for Sabrina and I. For two years I've been trying to talk her into doing solo trips and she's said "absolutely not" and when you did your bucket list first time solo I was like "look, see you can do it" then she saw the Go-Pro bloopers and was like "not a chance, if Erin is having problems I definitely couldn't do it". Then we watched this one and I poked at her again about going out solo and she said maybe and thats a huge step. So thank you for all you guys do. You both really do make a difference in this community and have taught us (and I'm sure a lot of others) quite a bit along the way and not just about camping. Thank you for sharing!

    Good evening Erin. Currently watching your first solo. Props to you for you no doubt inspirer many women to hopefully gather the courage to battle the wilds of nature. I believe these kind of activities are good for the soul if you allow it to be. The way the world is going people are losing touch camping is fairly simple if planed out. You and your man do a wonderful job. Please keep up the awesome work content coming. 😘😘🙏

    What you did is not earth shattering, but it is absolutely 110% inspiring!!! Everyone thinks, “Well, that looks easy”, but until they experience it, they do not know how difficult it is to ‘simply’ survive through the nigh in the conditions you were in. I have been watching Lost Lakes for a long time and always knew you were pretty bad ass when it came to toughen it. There is a big difference between toughen it with 2 people and doing it alone! Great job and I hope you and John keep making videos together!

I so love being in the forest as I am up in years am sadden by the fact that those days are limited...possibly. Thanks for taking us along.

    @davemayers9342 Před rokem +1

    Damascus steel is high carbon, so put a little dab of veggie oil of butter along the blade when you're not using it, to protect the cutting edge from rust. A good knife should last a lifetime. And it's much better than Jon's too :)
