8-Day Couples Camping Trip on an Offshore Island Chain - The Slate Islands

[@mohunter68]

How lucky is the Man who's Best Friend and Wife are one and the same. You are truly a lucky man John and you couldn't have found a better woman who is an Absolute Trooper when it comes to the outdoors. Erin is tough as nails when she needs to be and soft as a kitten when she wants to be. The way she looks at you says it all. So happy for the both of you!

[@LostLakes]

So lucky 😁 Love the way you summed that up---perfect. Thank you mohunter!!

[@Zeldagirl64]

About time ❤❤

[@rebeccahutcheson599]

I will tell you I don’t think I’ve ever seen two people more matched. You can see the fun and the adventure that you both enjoy and you are both right there getting it done. Nobody sits in complaints they just get it done. And then you can feel those love vibes. The way that you edited this after you gave her, the ring was so beautiful this literally brought tears to my eyes. I felt so happy for you both. For a person to truly find their soulmate in his chaotic world almost impossible, but you guys have your journey has been absolutely amazing to follow. Thank you for taking us along the way with you. We love you both. congratulations and blessings for your future 👊💖

[@TheChadWork2001]

Oh wow, Erin, that “My Preciousss,” reference was great!

[@thegreg79]

As a person that prefers a love language of physical touch, when your lady puts her hand on your back, and it seems she does it often, it really speaks to my eyes that this gal loves you very very much. So happy for couples when I see a friendship within a relationship.

[@thegreg79]

Just made a grown man cry with this one. My entire life I have searched and searched for a love like yours. I have not been lucky in my search but being able to feel it through your videos is....well not the same at all but its got my eyes leaking pretty good. Love this channel, love your story, love all of it. Thank you.

[@luluwan5212]

I may never meet either of you, but I still teared up when the ring was presented..Congratulations on a match made in heaven; I wish you long years of happiness together. Erin makes everything better.

[@LostLakes]

Aw thanks so much John!! 💚 She makes every day of my life better 😁

[@houstonbuffalo4514]

It’s a tribute to your film making and the bond the two of you share that so many of us who only know you through your shared content are so happy for you, as if we just got to watch an actual family member get engaged! Here’s to decades of enjoying each other and the life the two of you will create as a couple!

[@LostLakes]

What a beautiful comment, thank you so much HB!! 💚💚

[@milesrost6674]

Here Here!!

[@rebeccadees2300]

Totally agree! I’m really enjoying your videos and your relationship …it’s so refreshing and inspiring to see. Thank you for sharing your special moment 😊

[@issamaet9898]

I saw the first four seconds of your video and started jumping up and down! My husband says what’s wrong with you.... I told him, John is going to hook the biggest catch ever on this trip! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Best wishes to both of you!!!

[@LostLakes]

LOL!! 💚💚 Thank you Issamae!!!

[@mikefoehr235]

Funny

[@l214laus]

Issamae a very witty comment. Well, you never know the priorities of people these days, but a union did seem like a possibility? Well done to Jon and Erin.

[@thomasmenges66]

Great Job!

[@stevegrooms1142]

This is one time I will ditch my strong commitment to the concept of catch and release. In life, sometimes what we catch is a keeper.

[@shugemery]

Whoooooooooo Buddies))))) As a feller in nuptial bliss for 36 years I congratulate you both. Liking each other is just as important as love~~~

[@joshuaarsenault951]

It's been 8114 days with the love of my life... through heart surgery, cancer and so much more. The journey you're both about to embark on is and will be tough, but so beyond rewarding! Only the best to you. You both deserve it...

[@LostLakes]

That's beautiful Joshua, can't imagine the battles you've had together through those times. Whatever comes, we'll be by each other's side too. Thank you!! 💚

[@mycampingobsession]

Brought a tear to the eyes of this sentimental old lady! You two are sooooo perfect together❤️

Aw thank you Vicky!!! 💚💚

[@brendahone2509]

First off, congratulations from the two of us that have been married since 1975. We also want to say you handled the proposal beautify. This whole episode was just perfect.....the ring is...precious.

[@peacefulwife5199]

I'm a new subscriber. I feel quite honored to have been given the privilege of seeing you two getting engaged. ❤ My beloved husband and I were a blind date. That was 35 years ago. The rest, well, it's been a wild ride. Congratulations on your life together. Things happen the way they are supposed to. I love everything about your videos. Thanks again.🦋

[@LostLakes]

Really appreciate that!! We're looking forward to that wild life together :) Congrats on your 35 years and thank you again!

[@LostLakes]

Aw thanks so much Meaghan!! 💚👋 Erin has very fond memories of NZ

[@Barret-paddles]

I just had to revisit this one Jon and Erin! Brings tears of joy to my eyes when I think about the life you two have in front of you, together. That love is the essence of this life and I couldn't be more thrilled for you. As an aside, I lost my engagement ring making a fire so smart move Erin 😉 Keep on healing Jon and sending endless happiness your way! 💓 B

[@trudiswanson9855]

[@barfass]

So happy for you and Erin. I have been watching since very early on and when you first introduced us to Erin, I knew it would last and end up at this point. She pushes you and you need that, and she is your biggest fan. THAT is what you need in a partner. Someone who roots for you as much as you do for them. Absolutely perfect!

[@LostLakes]

Love your summary 💚 Thanks so much barfass!!

[@will_reischmann]

[@vandemonian5412]

that was the level of commitment Erin gave from the start - best wishes to you both, so happy for you.

[@TOOZECRUISE]

That was the moment she had us all 😘. It's like The Truman Show 😂

Yes I like the way Erin looks at Jon. The way a woman should, with love.

[@alistermurray1012]

You guys are awesome. I just found your channel a few days ago, and really enjoy the natural content. I'm from NZ and have to say your country looks very similar to our south island where most of our lakes are. Looking forward to more great adventures with you guys. Congratulations to you both. You seem well suited, blessings,from NZ.

[@LostLakes]

Really appreciate that Alister!!! It's amazing to see the similarities on the other side of the world eh? I've watched a bunch of Scottys Gone Walkabouts' vids in Aus and am sometimes shocked by the similarities

[@ArtGardenFoodExpressions]

I cried tears that wouldn't come out. When you showed that ring for the first time in your hammock, my heart skipped a couple of beats. And then, I became impatient and couldn't wait for you to pop the question. That was the most creative way you proposed. You kept your privacy while showing us clips over time of your various trips. I am SO SO happy for the two of you. This is awesome. John, please always be good to this awesome woman. This woman is awesome. She is kind and caring and patient, and non-judgmental, and smart, and strong, and most of all in my eyes, SUPPORTIVE. Man, I am so happy. This made my night because I was just wondering a few weeks back when you were going to propose to her. Congratulations.

[@LostLakes]

Aw thank you so much AGFE!! 💚💚 That is an incredibly perceptive description of her. I truly don't think I could sum her up any better!
