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

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!

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!

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. 👏🏼 ❤

Guys, the amount of work this man does for us is astounding. At least leave him a 'like' for his time and effort.

[Rooster.Cogburn]

It’s Turkey day AND we get a new video?! Lots to be thankful for!

[silverscreenwanderer]

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.

Oh, I forgot to say Congratulations to you and Erin. Health, happiness, and may your future adventures eclipse those from the past.

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, 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

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.

Your videos help keep me sane in a currently insane world. One is reminded of the greater, natural world, who's beauty is always available. All we need is to go to it.

[susanmiller]

Your trips on the beautiful Canadian waterways are my Zen. Thanks for all the great work you do to produce them.

[dritch]

I never want your videos to end. They have been a refuge through an extended illness.

[johnbaxter]

This must have been your best upload as I was saying "beautiful" every few minutes, and it was a beautiful film... Thankyou.

[jimhanson]

Thanks, Jon for letting us see this beautiful piece of Canadian wilderness, so well done…………….

[michaelpickford]

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.👏👏👏👏

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!

[paddlespaz]

I enjoy each Video. You are so blessed to live in that area and are able to explore it to the fullest. Thanks for taking us along. Takes me way back in time and makes me want to get out and about.
