7-Day Solo Wilderness Canoe Trip in Late Fall

[@japoc]

The editing on this one is really good. Your production quality gets better and better with every video, and I'm here for it.

[@LostLakes]

Thanks so much!

[@MrFloris]

Exactly !

[@Drainoed]

I make this comment almost every time😂. It’s a joy watching the progress!

[@trishspitzer4512]

That was a special spot with the wolf, truly magical. Reminded me of some of my own November trips that had surprisingly good conditions, such peace and tranquility at that time of year. That is the winter weight sleep pad right? Did you fix it further or did Amok replace it for you?

[@VictorPerez_]

Intro reminded me of Survivor Man

[@doubleedgedsword6956]

The sunrise through the fog on that mirrored body of water was stunningly beautiful! Thank you for taking us along ! ❤ 🙏🏻

[@LostLakes]

Thank you for joining me! 💚

[@johnimsdahl]

Some of my favorite footage yet from Lost Lakes. Really stunning!

[@kathleenanderson5030]

Your humor is not lost on me!! I just love the intricate care that you put into your videos. Even better is your complete respect for nature and the land and fish and campsites that up care for. Then your choice of music is clearly well thought out. I am iced in tonight as I watch this- you provide great joy and comfort! Thank you!

[@LostLakes]

Appreciate that so much Kathleen! 💚💚

[@alexisdetocqueville9964]

You allow many of us to slip away to the wilderness with you for a little bit each video. Please never stop - it brings a measure of peace in an otherwise chaotic life (for those of us that aren't fortunate enough to get out there ourselves).

[@LostLakes]

Really appreciate that Alexis 💚💚

[@Julie-yh1sq]

Ditto

[@Julie-l7r]

Amen to that

[@MrFloris]

Ah perfect, a new video. I will make some food, get my robe, a 24 year old whisky and light a candle. Chill at 1am to watch this adventure for an hour. Just to relax before having a nice nap before having to get up early. The zen I need! So thank you for your videos. It makes a depression day end with cozy comfy '0 f given' relaxed state. I am rambling, because I'm tired. Let's sip, snack and watch.

[@ripteye]

This sounds like a good plan.

[@blueshadow49]

We just finished watching your latest video. It is a GREAT photographic journey and well narrated. The eagle dropping it's catch and the wolf sighting was quite a payoff. My son and I while snowshoeing in northern MN in 2006...sighted two wolves and we all stopped and sized up one another before they ran off into the woods. It was truly a fortunate moment and I recall saying how we might never experience that again...and we haven't. We always enjoy your videos as well as those of both you and Xander. So WELL DONE. Thanks for sharing.

[@LostLakes]

Priceless memory. Thank you so much Jerry!!

[@bushcraft_crush2455]

What a trip!!! The footage was amazing! The fish bombing, the wolf, the scenery. So well done absolutely incredible 💚

[@LostLakes]

Thank you so much BC! 💚

[@kevinharding2099]

Like many of your subscribers I savor these presentations. I literally save some special time when I can view them undisturbed in order to do them justice. You have a real gift. Thank you for sharing. I live in Maine and see an occasional moose and I have been chased by a bull once. I am puzzled why you don’t have millions of subscribers!

[@LostLakes]

Truly appreciate that Kevin! 💚

[@mighty_mulder4859]

That sequence at the start of day 4 is absolutely incredible. The music, the footage, the atmosphere it creates, it's all just overwhelmingly beautiful. Fantastic video as always!

[@LostLakes]

Thank you so much!

[@jenmurphy7777]

Totally transcendent. Absolutely beautiful!

[@David-pt3nw]

Your moose hunt demonstrates a principal I’ve found to be true throughout my 71 years: The harder I push to make something happen the less likely it is. Stop pushing, relax, and there it is! The scenery on this trip was great. I can’t believe you caught the eagle that shamelessly assaulted you with a pike. And don’t you think for a minute that was an accident. If you had been a predator, would you have captured the eagle or been distracted by the pike? Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you for another memorable trip. I had a great time. Your films just keep getting better. Sincerely, Dave Purkerson.

[@LostLakes]

Hahah completely agree with that principal. Very much appreciated Dave!

[@s.aworld7856]

beautiful view just amazing good work keep it up

[@LostLakes]

Thank you!

[@cs6032]

This was worth the wait. On my fourth time watching this. When I think you can’t top the last video, you drop another like this. Gets me through the winter blues and a hopeful bridge to ice out

[@LostLakes]

💚💚💚💚

[@carycleland9506]

I work from home. 5am up to check emails, luckily none so I open KZbin to see what it offers and I’m rewarded with this. I’ve been following you for quite some time. I poured a cup of coffee and settled in. It’s dark and quiet here and it feels like I’m there with you. I absolutely love your videos and am envious of your adventures. Keep up the good work sir.

[@LostLakes]

I truly appreciate that Cary! ☕

[@CampingwithSamBananas]

It's so crazy how far you've come. Your videos were always enjoyable but your new ones are like movies. It's nuts.

[@LostLakes]

Thanks so much Sam!!

Spotting wolves in the backcountry remains one of most memorable experiences. Just wish I had a better camera at the time. Another great video! So nice to get to watch a new canoe trip in the middle of winter!

So special. Thanks a lot Kevin!

Every season brings it's particular charms. You've captured this shoulder season beautifully. Your soliloquy at 37:30 says it all. Thanks Jon. And I love that Pal.

[@dougroberts4243]

Stunningly beautiful. Scene after scene...moment by moment. And that ending.😁👍...This is one I could watch over and over again. Awesome. ❤️

Thank you so much Doug! 💚

[@egt93]

The colour of that water is so beautiful. All that tannin washed out from decayin plants makes me so wind-down just watching it, so peaceful.

[@alexmonger8754]

Awesome video the drone and softer music is perfect. I normally watch 13-15-minute-long videos of fishing, surfing, or other outdoor videos, but when I see your 60-90-minute videos I smile and get comfortable to be taking away into nature. Lowering blood pressure and getting me psyched for my next trail hike or mountain bike. Thanks for all you do you bring us the awesome videos.

[@LostLakes]

Very much appreciated Alex!

[@mk6945]

Another great video. Love the cloud and sky shots. Beautiful landscapes, colors. I feel like I am there, with the sound of the water and wind. Gotta love the eagle pike bomb. 😲

[@JForr64]

It's so stunning to see a wolf, especially that close, when you're not expecting it at all. I had it happen to me last year in a provincial park. The same words as yours came out of my mouth when I saw it. Was very cool!

[@LostLakes]

Priceless

[@johnbarns548]

So magical and calming. Thank you for the peace you brought to my heart this evening. I am feeling so lost and sad since my husband passed, tears all day. Your videos always carry a message of peace. RIP John Barns. Miss him so much, Cheryl

[@LostLakes]

Hang in there Cheryl...my heart breaks for you. There are brighter days ahead 💚

[@thepuzzledgoddess]

Even though I knew it wouldn’t help, I was a bit tense and I didn’t blink as I a scouted for that Moose. What a gorgeous place we live. Thank you for capturing so many beautiful moments. You never know what they’re gonna do --amazing animals and birds! Great when people experience things together as well. 🌱✨💚

[@magdalenamartinez2273]

Jon! You honored your Natural Intuitions following the inner drives to reach for what you were truly put on this Earth to do. Thank you for being your True Self, and for having the generosity to share with US - truly reliant Earthlings. I grew up spending much time out in Nature, and it is where I feel my best. The "City Life" or working in offices, takes care of the bills. Most of my free relaxing time I spend with Lost Lakes, lately. Jupiter my cat is obsessed. hehe. Now, every time I cross the Colorado River, and all the creek bridges on the way in, I not only dream of how I would love to be on the water again, I am planning. Thank you for reminding US that care for this Great Outdoors, that it is still or could be, just a well planned journey away. If not, we continue to journey here to Lost Lakes, to see the most incredible views and wild life encounters, delish fixins, and rather amuziing adlib extra content. I have been rolling thru your videos - Congratulations on a Beautiful Wedding. Sending Best to you and Erin 🌎

[@LostLakes]

Hahah many thanks to you and Jupiter!

[@cynthiamaclellan4403]

I truly admire that you can be so at peace alone for a week. We were hiking up a creek in the Yukon many years ago, came around a bend and there were 3 wolf cubs playing on the bank. Its the small brilliant memories that come back to me over 50 years of camping trips and hikes.

[@LostLakes]

Priceless. Thanks Carol!

[@lafonevc5663]

Lovely trip and well filmed loved the “shooting” tease. The wolf was amazing, what a piece of luck. Thanks for the excellent film of your adventure.

[@LostLakes]

Thank you! :)

[@eduffy4937]

Ive been blessed to be born, raised, and have children in an area heavily populated by moose and endless wilderness. This video really does capture the essence of moose territory and adventure.

[@hannahmunro7794]

I would love to see how you choose to store your food from the bears. As a child I grew up back country camping but the adults always took care of taking the barrels away from camp and storing them up in the trees. So I would love it if you would teach us a little about the safety and process involved in using the barrels and where you select to tie it up away from the bears and such. Your videos really inspire me to get back into these types of trips as they were the highlights of my year during my adolescence! And I love your storytelling and humour !

[@LostLakes]

Thanks a lot Hannah! 💚 I don't hang here in northern Ontario because hanging limbs are very hard (almost impossible) to find in the boreal forest and even the two-tree method is very difficult to pull off here. Thankfully bears are also very wild up here and rarely habituated to human presence so they generally wouldn't associate a human camping with a food source (a human camping is more likely to scare them off). There are no guarantees though and minimizing scents that would attract a bear in the first place is important. But in a busier park and/or where suitable horizonal branches exist where there are more hardwoods, it's definitely important to hang

[@robintheoutside]

Day 6, the paddle, the campsite and the view ... WOW! Just speechless at it's beauty. And then to see a Wolf during breakfast. I thought the fish drop was going to be my favorite moment (altough it was epic) Day 6 was perfect. I disagree with you about this trip not being thrilling. These kind of trips are what I'd die for, an Eagle sharing it's meal with you, catching the odd fish, breathtaking scenery, a Wolf encounter and the inner peace all of that brings .. to me, those are the most thrilling trips of all. Thank you for sharing this one.

[@LostLakes]

Thanks so much you guys! 💚

[@snooz2158]

[@jasonlynch2919]

Such beautiful scenery and solitude. Good for the spirit and soul. Lovely video.

[@bcworth444]

Gosh, that was a good one. The wolf - what a knock out. The eagle nearly hitting you with his pike - priceless. And the stunning Canadian scenery never gets old. Again, the music you use in your videos takes them to the next level. Thank you so much for doing these; they mean a lot.🛶🍁

[@LostLakes]

Really appreciate that!

[@JoshOxtoby]

Excellent late season trip Jon, not too much longer now until we can enjoy the open water season again. In the past 2 weeks I've accepted a new job and purchased my first home to relocate to Sudbury. Thrilled be be closer to nature and I have you and your videos to thank for the passion for canoeing your videos introduced me to. Looking forward to your next season of canoe tripping videos, take care for now.

That's awesome Josh, you're going to be a happy camper! Adventures at your doorstep. Thanks a lot man 💚

I don't always comment on every new video you do, but they are always much appreciated. Especially the nighttime sky shots.

Sleep, and on to the next days adventure.

I stumbled upon your channel over the winter, and it's become a favorite. The strange site you stumbled upon with the barrel, box and the old stand is a bear bait sight. It's likely accessed via the water, which explains the flagging and rough trail.

Hi Jon, I've been watching your videos for about a year now, but this is the first time I have left a comment. I've been a bush pilot and guide in Alaska for many years. I quit hunting a long time ago, but I really love watching Dall sheep, grizzly bears, mountain goats, and moose in their natural habitat. When I see you drinking in natural beauty, I totally get it. Your videos are very relaxing and motivating. Keep up the good work, and I know it is work, but enjoyable (most of the time). 🙂
