Get a lot of questions and some think I'm lying about the temperature (no, I never have). If the title says -30, it should go without saying that that's the LOW for the trip...the temp fluctuates, of course.
So I made a video for the top 11 FAQs I get about winter camping:
Hope it helps clear some things up.

Bro I've been ice fishing my entire life and always took every precaution possible, until last winter I was off grid with snowmobiles at a lodge and went to get firewood down the lake because there wasn't much good jack pine close to camp. My buddy who was with me at the time didn't have a float suit and I did, he ended up going through an otters breathing hole it was late January as well, I turned around and he was neck deep and his legs were entangled in roots and sticks from the bank... Anyway lets just say he was lucky my adrenaline was through the roof because he weighed nearly 100lbs more than me not including the water soaking in his clothing, somehow I managed to yank him out without going in myself... Cheers stay safe :)

Oh no! Jon! I'm 64 years old and have carried a pocket knife for 58 years. Started out with a Cub Scout knife in 1966 then graduated to a 6 inch folding knife for protection though High school (rough school)! Bought my first Swiss Army Knife in 1976 (the Tinker model) and never looked back. I know that its a personal choice. My survival teacher said, "Survival is not an exact science, its an art, and each person should be left to their own expression. It would probably seem strange to you, but I have carried the exact same thing in my pockets for those 58 years. Handkerchief, wallet, Zippo lighter with a spare flint and wick tucked in the packing of the fuel tank, Swiss Army Knife and a 72 inch boot lace. And I always carry a Canadian made LED Mini Maglite with a set of AA lithium batteries that will function up to 30 degrees below zero, on my belt. I cannot begin to tell you how many hundreds of times I have been glad to have those items on me or how many times my friends have asked to borrow something that I'm carrying! Mind you that is the bare minimum that I carry! Super good video, miss seeing Erin with you.

Not sure if people realise the amount of work that goes into the planning and edits on this. I for one really appreciate it!!!

Hey Jon,
I just feel like I owe you a thank you. I have been stuck in my apartment quite a lot lately due to health issues. But what I am craving is nature. I recently discovered your channel and have spent many hours watching you and Erin's adventures. The videos have brought me a lot of peace. Take care. Many thanks from NYC.

The best 37 minutes on the tube… -35not a big deal when you have prepared and understand how to survive in cold conditions.. well done Jon..

I can’t even express how you thanking the fish made me feel. I’ve been vegetarian for 7 years and the only meat I think I’d ever eat again would be via catching my own fish while camping. I could feel how much you appreciated it’s sacrifice and deeply respect the fish- so thank you for sharing that and being so genuine.

This man deserves more supporters to pay back his effort put in his videos.

[ethandavis]

Jon, thank you so much for your content! Hope to see you review one of the tents manufactured by RBM Outdoors. Can't wait to see what you have to say ❤

[bluejacket]

Hi Jon, I love the way you take things in stride. No matter what the occurrence you seem to overcome all obstacles. Your confidence as a true woodsman is apparent but you also exude a peaceful mindfulness that is a great example for all of use. Thank you!

[rickwhitson]

I'm 62 and still absolutely love winter camping. Good stuff

[joshstarrvanhoose]

Dude im so glad you started doing thus full time, its hard to tell you how awesome it is when notification comes thru with a new lost lakes video, keep up all the awesome content!!!

[kesiawalker]

Filleting a trout with ice auger is the most Canadian thing I’ve ever seen 😆 Good thing you had that auger multi-tool 2.0!

Coming from north country myself, I love the winter views. We are fortunate, that were born/live here. Not as cold here in Michigan, it rarely dips much past -15...except for the polar vortex winters back in 2012-2014 where we seen wind chills of -30's. It is a force to be reckoned with and carefully prepared for. Excellent video!!!!

Used to go winter camping in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta every winter in the 80's and 90's. Loved it. Saw amazing things and enjoyed every minute no matter how cold it was. Thank you for helping me rekindle my younger years!

[briankozak]

Thank you again, Jon, for taking us along for the ride. I have to say your mood/setting shots are unrivaled in your genre, and did I detect some influence from the Xander school of video editing (quick cuts of wood stacking)? Nice to have an uneventful trip after last week, which just proves the universal constant: the wave corrects itself. You deserved that

[canoeman]

Just beautiful. The pace was perfect. Watched on a big screen with the lights turned off, you get a real feeling of being there (minus the 55 or so Celsius degree difference between my living room and your surroundings). What's also really enjoyable is reading all the comments here ... quality people tuning in !

[jamesellsworth]

I like these 'serious' adventure videos: not just 'parachute in'; take some footage and get home for dinner with the family.' The starry sky and illuminated tent frames were awesome. The feeling that a hot tent is still survivable (even comfortable) shelter for several days can't be conveyed on a day trip.

"Got to be careful on these (auger) blades. A slip could cut my hand pretty badly." That's why a good knife is the MOST important piece of gear you can have. I've never known anyone who didn't carry a knife. And to say "well, I've never needed one" is like saying "well, I've never needed an airbag or seatbelts".

[jimlewis]

I grew up in a cold weather state myself (Illinois). I love camping in the cold weather. But you're taking this to whole new levels! You have my respect!
