3-Day Father-Son Camping Trip & Backcountry Beer Tasting

[@lloydkelly8362]

Thanks again Jon for such a terrific trip... it's so nice to be able to watch and re-live it again. Did I mention that you're my favourite son? :) So happy to be able to experience what you are doing with you. Love you a ton. Pops

[@johnconnell9836]

Lloyd you need to get your own KZbin channel. You are fantastic!

[@lloydkelly8362]

Thanks John, but it’s sooo much work!!

[@Grifto1]

Heart warming watching you and Jon.

[@marianfrances4959]

Aww! Hi dad! 👍😎🇨🇦🌲

[@EzeAdventurer]

Awesome dad!

[@talktech1]

Its evident the giddiness your dad had from hanging out with you. Children dont realize how much enjoyment we as parents get from just spending time together. Nice job, John.

[@tomsteffes6344]

Amen to that!

[@mebsweetncrazy]

"You and me together"...the BEST line of the entire video One day Jon will have these videos to go back and watch. When that time comes MANY MANY MANY years down the road he will be so happy he took the time to make these memories. Until Jon has children of his own(of he chooses to) he won't know how happy he is making his dad feel. Just spending that time with your children and KNOWING your children are enjoying that time as well is something I can't even describe with words.

[@eileenallemm1835]

My dad is gone, my children's Dad is gone. So glad you have a dad to have a trip with. Jon I know that you appreciate your family you could definitely tell how respectful you are. You had good parents who taught you well. Remember you're going to be a dad one day!!!!!!

[@marcomcdowell8861]

Man, I envy a guy and his relationship with his father as an adult. I love my old man and we have no disagreements, but his first love was the bottle as I grew up. I experienced the outdoors with my grandfather and uncle and really appreciated them teaching me along the way. But I really would've loved to bond like this with my father. Thanks for bringing us along on this adventure!

[@PenguinCam]

Your father's dad jokes are great, I see where you get your sense of humour from, and his fatherly concern was too sweet. "Watch for nails!"

[@dylanhendricks8887]

I liked the "in the zone" when referencing the calzones around 22:00 ha

[@InBonesWeTrust]

He said "RUSH - best rock band IN THE WORLD!" You are very fortunate to have this experience with your dad and we are for you to show us.

[@michaelglennon6056]

Nothing better than a trip with Pops! Well done. Wish him a belated happy sixty. Clearly he did you right. Always a father dream. Peace Brother!

[@titotoro8296]

I've been backcountry camping with my son ever since he was 9. Now at 21, my son takes me camping. Let me tell you... your dad is so proud of you. Cheers!

[@petew9991]

Rush... the best rock band in the world. I'm pushing 60 too and go backcountry a few times a year. Live in Toronto now, but in Port Arthur, Thunder Bay previously. Best of both worlds. Cheers to you and dad.

[@LostLakes]

You two have a lot in common. I'll set up a playdate 😜 Cheers Pete!

[@lizdg3892]

You two are too cute together. It’s so nice when father and son can make an adventure together. Glad you had that time with each other.

[@ride-paddle-repeat]

The resemblance to your father is uncanny, and its so good to see you both enjoying the outdoors and each other's company. Apple not falling too far from the tree.

[@hermano8160]

same distinctive nose 😀

[@brianshutter6657]

I am a huge Jon and Erin fan! This video with your Father was fantastic! No fish were harmed in the making of this video - I laughed loud and hard for ten minutes! What a great father and son video. This one was very special to me for a lot of reasons. Cheers to you both!

[@markoda2120]

You're a good son! Appreciate and spend time with Dad. 👍🏼

[@mikeyfishin]

RUSH!!!!! Rest In Peace Neil! I miss their concerts already. Best drummer ever!

[@lloydkelly8362]

Rush concerts were really amazing. Really miss Neil RIP.

[@suezaple4950]

Awesome to see you out on a fishing adventure with your father, you look just like him. beautiful area you two were paddling . have to love that rain or shine . great relationship you have with pop's and that he also enjoys what you enjoy. he isn't old at 60. I am 64 and still love camping , fishing and hiking and find the young ones cant keep up to me lol. what an awesome memories you two will have on this canoe adventure. loved the video .

[@gogsalba4573]

Grand you can share your love for the outdoors with your dad... heart warming to see...and you have the footage for posterity... thanks for sharing...✌

[@robertcrouthamel9140]

I'm sure you appreciate just how incredibly lucky you are to be able to go camping with your Dad.

[@wyndwalkerranger7421]

Cherish the time with your father. Great video.

[@jefferywine6249]

My dad and I used to travel to wild Quebec every summer and camp and fish...this brings back a lot of wonderful memories....thanks for sharing.

[@5heinens]

Jonathan, this was so cool! I grew up an only child, and am fascinated when I see people who so resemble their parents or siblings or other relatives. You are certainly your dad’s son! And I so love seeing your interactions! Your dad seems to really k is his way around the wilderness. Thank you for sharing your time together! It’s so fun to see a bigger picture of who you are and what shaped you!

[@jimfromm3981]

I took my son and his friends camping throughout their youth. I am a compulsive planner. I still get a vicarious thrill when I break out the topo maps, fishing regulations, and weather forecasts. My obsession became a joke among us. The boys loved nothing more than throwing a curve in my hour by hour plans. Forty years later, they still ask me what the plan is when we meet. Alas, fish and game refuse to follow plans, no matter how well intentioned. Know you are not alone when you mutter "No fish were harmed in the production of this video." As a an avid upland bird hunter, I must include other species in my proclamation. It was obvious your father was proud of your work. His appreciation for the natural beauty and his time with you had him beaming. The apple did not fall far. As years pass you will cherish the time you have shared and the wonderful ability to recall those moments. And then there is the sunset. Who could have planned that? Thanks again.

[@chrisblack8390]

That creek was so beautiful! So was the sunset. It's nice you an your dad got to get out together. He's cool. So much a like. Thanks great video.

[@avet22]

Lost my Dad We did have great camping memories . Glad you get to have those as well Jon

[@Jamie_9k]

My Wife and I are from North Bay but live in a big city now, your videos are like going home for a bit. Thank you so much for sharing all you do, we are fans for life.

[@LostLakes]

Thanks so much Jamie!!

[@barbmcnaughton6119]

“Best if you don’t speak” lol……great video! Cherish the time you have with your Dad.

[@jimsmedley234]

"The gods do not deduct from a man's allotted time on earth the hours spent in fishing" - I don't recall the book I saved this quotation from but I do know I read it on a canoe trip.... the books rarely survived a trip as my co trip leader was a voracious speed reader and before the end of any trip he'd be tearing off the first half of what ever book I was reading and then using it to assist in fire starting. My message? Keep doing fishing trips with your dad, it was great to see this.

[@joshuaarsenault951]

Jim Smedley it was Herbert hoover. GREAT quote!!

[@davidhuth5659]

Jon, I believe the second sound you heard, after the coyote/wolves, was a rabbit or hare. That sounded just like a distress call when rabbits and hares are captured by a predator. Thanks for another great video!

[@kirkschlichting3974]

honestly, half way through this video and I can't be happier, seeing your friendship with your father really brings joy to my heart.

[@dwrivers47]

Nothing better than camping & fishing with one’s Dad. I’ve had some epic trips with my Dad, best memories for life. Great trip Jon!

[@tammynewkirk]

that is so cool that father and son go camping together

[@ronforrestjr2493]

Nice to see both father and son enjoying together

[@davidkinsella7624]

Awesome that your dad went out with you. Some quality moments. The Rush beer! Keep up the great work love this channel!

[@stewtube1240]

Top shelve video !! Glad to see your Dad and to see you guys out together . I now can see where all your fine qualities come from. I really see where your calm nature comes from . Your dads a trooper also ...even at 60 ;-) when the trooper desires have left many but not your Dad . Cherish your moments together , that is whats really important . All the best too you both !

[@BradVanReenen]

Hey Jon, I was at Carafel in July. All my fish came out of the north arm right after the river access. Bass, pike, and 1 musky at the point where the lake turns from West to South. Not a sniff elsewhere. Hope that helps if you ever go back.

[@april906outdoors3]

Love, love, love this - so special that you shared this time with your dad. 💜 The split screen dad cam is great, as are his jokes. Spectacular sunrise, good food and beer, coyotes and a bear. Only thing better would have been catching a muskie. Great memories!

[@bernkondret9981]

Nice trip. I loved the scene at the cabin. Your dad goes inside checks it out. Then you go in and ever the father, he tells you "watch out for nails". I can relate completely.

[@timothygazda9441]

GREAT video with your Dad! Precious fishing time together! Do trips with your Dad as often as you can!!

[@alanbierhoff6831]

Camping with my dad was definitely “Type 2” fun. Compared to this trip with your dad, mine were more like Army Special Forces training. He was more about the learning than the enjoyment.

[@kellybalkom7149]

Wonderful trip with your dad, I turned 60 myself this year so I guess that makes me an old woman...lol!

[@mitchsing1109]

It’s real nice that you spend time with your Dad , it means more to him now than ever. Cheers!

[@mycampingobsession]

Speaking of Rush….when I was in high school they played the coffee house dances at our school, as did April Wine😊

[@michaelabbott6566]

Great video Jon. Cherish those moments. I'd do anything for another camping trip with my dad.

[@northstarnick8366]

With my first baby due in January, these father/son trips are totally the kinds of trips I look forward to going on one day!! Your dad seems like a great guy, Jon! beautiful trip!

[@davecurda2350]

Nice to see you and your dad together.👍

[@kellygast]

OMG!! Jon!! Your Dad could not be any better! His pride in you warms my heart...and it put a lump in my throat.. It's so precious to us (as parents) to share and carry the torch with you before we have to let you take it forward for us...these shared adventures mean more than words could ever say. My parents (finally) went with me on my last safari (before Covid) after years of inviting and cajoling...They are more the Ritz-adventures - beautiful places with great amounts of comfort, and couldn't really see themselves out on the Serengeti using an outhouse, LOL! As we were flying over to Kenya, I asked my Mom why they decided to finally come, and she said to me that if they wanted to spend time with me, that they wanted to spend time with me doing something I love. I will never forget her words, nor the effort of stepping outside their comfort-zone...to spend time with me. It was such a gift. They had an absolutely fabulous time on our safari...and while they can't come this summer, they have signed up for 2023 - and bringing ALL the grandkids (six, including our two). I can't wait!! Here is my Dad (short vid) when we stopped by to visit a Maasai school...The kids sang a song to welcome guests and my Dad decided to join them. I don't think that had ever happened before because the kids were all giggling and laughing...great memory... kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y529o4Z-qLVoi5Y

[@steveforsythe9264]

This was such an amazing trip with your Dad, love to see more of these kind of videos! Nothing like being in the wilderness, cheers!

[@micheleschmidt457]

I love your Dad! When he gets his own channel I will totally subscribe. Jon, you need to have him on more.

[@BrLambert]

Wonderful! Spending time with your dad-bonus! Enjoying the scenery, sights, and sounds together double bonus

[@seanadams2391]

Good times with Dad!! So much to be thankful for. Thanks Jon.

[@Justme-jb7fk]

That was nice to see you out with your dad. Great video as always 🍁⛺️🙏🇺🇸

[@aliceg9571]

Hi Jon and Mr Jon’s Awesome Dad. It looks like you had the best time you could ever have. That trip had some very spectacular views, wildlife, and sounds of nature, but also the treasured moments you shared together with your Dad. He is so proud of you and appreciates how hard you work to do these videos. Including the Dad jokes. Hopefully, the next time you go out that way again, your dream comes true (“grow some fish”)! Also, the food looked and I know tasted great too. Glad you were able to film those animal sounds. Thank You for sharing it with us. Wish I could have seen what was on the cutting room floor. Guess you can’t fit it all in. Be safe and stay well til the next one.

[@DeeHermanson]

Loved watching the trip with you and your Father! I really wish I could get my dad to do even a double night. And also I was surprised by that Pepsi cola can from the mid 70s looking soo good! 45-50 years you would think it would be a tin rust ball🙀

[@oesdscied]

RUSH! Awesome, what more could you want in a Lost Lake backcountry video! Love the way your dad reacted to that as well.

[@canesser1]

Easy to see how you've turned out to be such a great young man Jon, you have a wonderful father. Great trip and had a similar 2 night 3 day paddle with son #2 in September and loved every minute of that paddle and fishing with him . . . under a full moon no less lol. I'm just a wee bit older than your Dad and appreciate seeing the ol' guys getting out into the back country.

[@ericjenjohnson]

Tell me your Canadian without saying your Canadian: “Rush is the greatest rock band in the world! “ 🤣 What an awesome trip! Thanks for sharing!

[@finnstermax7112]

We are all different veraions of ourselves with the important people in our lives. Lovely to see the version of Jon when spending time with his father.

[@jasonreid611]

Great episode…I remember fishing with my Dad but I was much younger. I still like those lone Jon episodes though 👍🇨🇦

[@JesseDinsmoreOutdoors]

he just went full send on the vertical filming, love it

[@tomscott1159]

Beautiful. Some days I fish and realize that actually catching one might just spoil what has made the moment so memorable. As long as you cast your line there will be another out there ready to jump on the hook.

[@johnherman3261]

Jon; This trip reminded me of some of the fishing trips I spent with my father. I would encourage you to do this as often as possible so there is no regrets after he’s gone. I have those regrets could of should of done more. Love ya man.

[@henrymostert2125]

What a great opportunity to spend time with your father. These are memories that you won't forget. Good to see that he's a good sport even through bad weather I see where you get it from

[@thefishwistler]

Camping and fishing with my son (13) is my absolute favorite thing. Gets better every year and I think it will keep doing so. Great to see you out with your dad.

[@mattphillips6578]

This was a cool change up. A trip w your Dad.

[@ScottRauber]

Just too damn cool bro. Trippin' with your dad!! Love it. Turned 60? Too cool. I do in 3 months!! Cheers Dad!!

[@WWanderer17]

That sunrise was incredible. Nice to share. Thanks.

[@Grifto1]

Such a joy to watch you and your dad have a great experience even though there was no fish.

[@NorthernRetreat]

Nice to enjoy some father son time, they're special and too infrequent as we grow older. Enjoyable video. 👍

[@davidpianosi4512]

What a wonderful little Channel you have. I am originally from Sudbury Ontario but have moved to southern Ontario as an adult. My brother and I went camping fishing on Paul Lake north of Sudbury this summer. I owe this channel getting us back out there. I just have to mention one very nice thing about this channel....the imagery and audio are very soothing ....you are not a jarring loud talker who is overly excited AND..., you don't put heavy metal background music to your beautiful sunrise shots! A++ Just a very nice Channel.

[@bonpecheur4565]

Nice trip ! Your father is in great shape at 60 , so there's a big possibility for you Jon to have a good future ;)

[@corriehendrickson604]

I love that you do this with your Dad. My Dad (originally from Michigan) was a big angler and taught me and my siblings to be anglers as well. We lost him suddenly last year, just weeks after a week long walleye fishing trip in the UP of Michigan. I cannot tell you how much the memories of that trip mean to me. I couldn't finish watching this video without crying. You guys are awesome!

[@jodyreay733]

This brought warm fuzzies, smiles, and love to you and your father! Love your content! ❤️❤️

[@MHarenArt]

What a great opportunity to go fishin' with Dad. These are moments that make memories. SNowing on the way out! You got out just in time! Thanks for sharing!

[@nGuy1901]

"Watch for nails sticking up!" (@19:20) Always a dad. Thanks for another great video. Thanks especially for sharing that sunrise. Awesome.

[@sbates1549]

Great vid as always Pal....There's nothing better than being where you love, with who ya love. Your Dad's a natural on cam, and it shows just how proud of you he is.. My ol' Man and him with hit it off.....I'd be curious to see who would say "The Best" more over the course of a weekend...lol....I take him on all my adventures.....anyways....thanks again for the feel good vid.....

[@TheHarley883r]

Man so important to get in some time with the old man , as you never know whats going to happen .. i live in Norway and my dads in the central coast Australia ,, no way to meet due to Covid for a few years now not sure i could get him in a hammock , hes 86 and wanting to do a trip like this with him man great stuff and well done mate thanks for sharing Bro well done and your Dad seems like an inspirational guy ...

[@dataminetrap3877]

The opportunity to have a father and son camping trip like this is priceless. I did 2 trips of the Bowron lakes with my father (him at 78 for his final trip). Those memories are priceless and I would give anything to be able to create another one. Thank you for taking us along. Continue to enjoy these experiences - as in the end it is all that maters.

[@ifonlyseethrumyeyes8957]

Ah John, your dad is so cute! You look just like him. Thx for the fun

[@LostLakes]

💚

[@jamieganderton]

That last credit. No fish were harmed in the making of this video..... 😳🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@sabertoothspider]

realy nice, you look just like your dad , going out camping with my oldest son next week and have been realy looking forward to it , you could tell your dad loved the trip and spending time with you : )

[@shayetanner6431]

Thank you for sharing your dad with us! U are a lucky guy to have him join you! It actually brought tears to my eyes at the end. Go Dad!

[@jerrydague5686]

Making great family memory's. Jon, nice to meet you sir👍😎👍

[@kellyb5980]

What a beautiful spot you camped at and stunning sunrise! Really lovely to see your trip with your dad- no fish but you made memories and you gave him the hammock which is really selfless.

[@kevinstromquist5954]

Winter seemed to catch up with you. Lovely moon rise and many tasty beers as well. Keep tripping with the old man! Great memories.

[@bushcraft_crush2455]

Incredible sun rise, great food, wonderful company. What a great trip. Loved it!!!

[@JonUchaczOutdoors]

These are the videos that really make me happy. Such great memories to be cherished. I also love that your dad calls you ‘Jonathan’ - my folks do the same despite the rest of the world calling me Jon.

[@pete332]

It’s great to see your dad back on one of your trips.. I made the time to squeeze this one in, I’m glad I did, great little trip. Now, what excuse am I using for why I’m late, hmmm lol

[@nathandenardis3999]

Enjoyed the video and it’s great you get to share some of these adventures with your dad. Cherish every moment you can with your dad. It’s something I wish I had been able to do with mine and will definitely do with my son.

[@JLOUTSIDE]

"Pops" is back 🤘👍👍

[@pinebearclub]

I get the Dad sense of humour, I hope to do this with my son one day, but in the meantime I’ll continue the adventures with my daughter! Thanks for sharing Jon! Bryan from Vancouver

[@littlepony6762]

What a great Adventure to have with your father 👊🏾👊🏾

[@ericada9368]

I’ll say it again. You’re a lucky man. Thanks for another great one...

[@jimhanson7476]

Very nice Jon and dad.. time well spent for sure…

[@jacqueline7118]

Looks like you moved from fall into winter there at the end! lol Thanks for sharing the wonderful trip with your Dad. So many great memories that you both can add to your father/son collection. :) :)

[@harrygr218]

What a great trip with your dad. You two sure ate well and the beer seemed good too.

[@MrYoko1969]

Nothing beats making memoires with your Dad, great trip Jon.

[@blairwesterman2635]

You’ve got to get the old man out on Superior for his first Spec!..I’d like to see that, lol. Great vid, nice to see your dad again.

[@dalbyadventure]

Really loved this video. I really enjoyed your Dad's takes on the interesting moments. Thanks for sharing amigo

[@johnconnell9836]

Jon your dad is awesome!

[@grantclarkson9184]

A great short one John!. You can see and feel the appreciation that your father had whilst sipping brew..making camp. Hope you and the 'old man can do another 10,000 casts together. Thanks for sharing again. Grant
