9-Day / 200km Solo Wilderness Trout Fishing Trip on the World's Biggest Lake

[@timfronimos459]

For me, this is the best travel/adventure channel.

[@LostLakes]

Very much appreciate that Tim!!

[@jameswilliams-pn1ee]

Just recently found your channel. Thank you so much for presenting the beauty of Superior with the respect it deserves. I am old now but spent much of my young adult life experiencing nature the way you are here. Hard to put it into words but you have brought me back to what is really important in this world. You are very skilled at making these videos …. Dont change anything !

[@anahealingmed2263]

Searched on Big Sur, watched a few vids and fell asleep...woke up to the sound of your voice and ended up watching 2am.... nice to see a REAL outdoorsy man in the age of nonstop video playing addict whimpy guys.

[@maxdetwiler9770]

This man reminds me of my grandpa who used to take me hiking and camping all the time. You remind me of him in his prime. Thanks for the great content dude

[@LostLakes]

Really appreciate that Max! 💚

[@LostLakes]

Longest video on this channel..."watch at your own pace" rather than multi-part. *There are chapters in the description for each day if needed. I broke it up into three parts but didn't like it, so this way you can break it up any way you like.* Must emphasize that this is not a beginner trip....if you want to start paddling this lake start small and build up. Zack, one of the authors of the guidebook for the area, operates Such A Nice Day (SAND) Adventures out of Rossport if you want someone to take you out on the big lake. And Darrell, the other author, works for the Lake Superior National Marine Conservation Area. ⮞ The guidebook I used is available here (incredible resource for the north shore in general) ⮜ suchaniceday.com/about/lake-superior-nmca-guide/?fbclid=IwAR0pBLdB6Zn-tt5aVATHrpT6ksydWyITwvJBb0vsq5UJY-IYltzlPF_4su8

"Watch at your own pace". My pace is BINGE when it comes to this channel.

[@vtowner69]

I'd watch your videos at twice that length or series format Jon. Excellent trek. Only one porcupine for me. A cool creature for sure.

[@olejacobstalesen6558]

I love the longer ones! Split up by weeks, it's kinda hard to keep track, now my evening is booked!

[@LostLakes]

[@jamesy1979]

Lake Superior is amazing. I’m from the shores of Lake Michigan, but visited Lake Superior and the crystal clear water and the rock formations are gorgeous. Never got a chance to fish it though.

[@ScottRauber]

Much respect to Erin for suffering through the danger potential!! And John, thanks for taking us with you! So happy to be a subscriber....and LUCKY I might add!!

[@rebeccasuzannerustigian1257]

Thank you for letting me join you on this journey as I recoup from leg surgery on my couch. Between surgery and Covid I've not been able to get out much since November 2020. Be free, happy,blessed and kind.

[@LostLakes]

I feel for you Rebecca...the couch is a great place to be, except when you're stuck there for extended periods. Hang in there and glad you could escape here a bit. Thanks for joining me!

[@BBQDad463]

You have created an incredible paean to Lake Superior. This video could have been broadcast on NOVA or Nature or National. In fact, it should be. I do not know how but, somehow, you managed to accumulate the boatload of good karma required to get an opportunity like this. When I was young, I did not have the freedom. Now that I have the freedom, I am old. I am glad that you had the youth and the freedom, the will to do it, and the decency to share it with us. Thank you.😎

[@sbirnstiel]

I just tuned into this video and now find myself sitting in the dark, more than 2 hours later, left in complete awe and gratitude. Wow, what a treat! You kept me hooked, inspired and just loving this province I have called home for over 2 decades now. So much still to see. Could add so many comments, I am sure most of them have already been listed, so for now, just a deeply felt "thank YOU" for sharing this amazing journey! 👏 and doing it so, so well. I have embarked on my first winter camping this year, am off to Algonquin tomorrow for my 2nd stab at it, and your video has just made for the perfect "evening before" motivation. Thank You. 🤗🙏🏕💗

[@LostLakes]

I truly appreciate that!! Hope you're having a wonderful trip in Algonquin :)

[@vijayrasaiah4856]

You've become one of Ontario's greatest adventurers. I've been watching your videos for years, and this one scared me more than the others. Superior is a beast and the weather can change on a whim, not to mention that water is always deadly cold. Travelling alone like that is incredibly brave. Great video bahd!

[@fishingaddict5638]

I watched the entire show in one sitting. Enjoyed it very much. What a beautiful trip. I think this trip would be 100X better if it were with a love one. Thanks for taking the time to do the video, can't imagine how long it took to edit.

[@pipfox7834]

@Fishing Addict there are pros and cons with going with your partner. I am pretty slow in or out of the water (even when i was young, this was an issue).... so you have to be a very well matched pair, physically, mentally etc for it to work well. Extended walking trips with my guy worked well, but not so much the kayaking... (the wind resistance was a bit misery making for me) but the bits we did on calm days, for short trips were fun though.

[@JonnyDoe1776]

Very few people have gotten to see four rainbows at the same time. I have. It helps to be wearing sunglasses I think. Sometimes I can see rainbow colors in the clouds when wearing them. Most people just shoot me a doubting smirk when I tell them I've seen 4 rainbows at once. I'm glad someone has documented it on video. Thank you!

[@0763sarah]

This Texas Grandma has really enjoyed the serenity and the scenery of your journey. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼❤️🕊

[@Mondhase2000]

Fun fact : rainbows are always double. In most cases the second one is just hard to see or too far away from the first one to see. I totally understand why you love Lake Superior. I saw a lot of videos about this lake already and it's always amazing. You are a lucky guy, Jon. 😍👍And this sweet sauna Hut was a real surprise. I didn't know that those exist there. I love sauna, I would have tried it out 😁😍

[@georgeburke6336]

That quadruple rainbow was God showing you that He was with you and your trip was going to be a safe one. He is amazing and gives you all kinds of signs.

[@brader31992]

Truly appreciate your channel man! As a guy from Florida I love getting to see your adventures. Had a canoe trip in the u.p. as a kid and this brings back memories.

[@LostLakes]

Very much appreciated!

[@nedaustin5690]

Spectacular photography with a descent philosophy makes a good antidote for corona. Thanks.

[@joannance9411]

Fast approaching 80 and haven't been up north in 10 years. Can't tell you how much I enjoyed this video!! Spectacular scenery and a needed distraction from upcoming surgery. Love you and Erin! You are the perfect couple. Thanks.

[@LostLakes]

Thank you so much Joan!! Wishing you the best for your surgery and to good health ahead :)

[@joannance9411]

@@LostLakes Looking forward to your first spring trip. I love your sense of humour.

[@JesusNOTreLIEgion]

this was absolutely wonderful in so many ways. quite possibly the most enjoyable solo wilderness documentary in general that I've seen this year. Cheers brother, sending love to you and yours from Colorado

[@LostLakes]

Really appreciate that my friend! 👋

[@barbarawalberg1520]

Having sailed and paddled most of that outer shore, I share your passion for the big lake. You captured the raw beauty and told a good story. Great video!

[@Utenerd]

I have never seen a grand canoe trip done on the biggest lake on Earth. Kudos!! Fabulous to watch!

[@robinmaze2188]

The skies were amazing! Very nice trip, animals, geology, the water, the fish! But those skies...amazing!

[@FatherFish]

Thank you for taking me along.

[@markasiala6355]

The scenery was amazing on this trip, its been a while since I've visited Lake Superior and this was a great video capturing its raw beauty. I want to echo the other comments, thanks for naming off the islands and bays, I actually had a google map open while watching the entire video so I could follow along!

[@stampede963]

Jon, EXCELLENT adventure. That plant you were wondering about with all the insects on it looked like a Giant Rhubarb. Herb family but not actually related to the Rhubarb family. Just looks like them. Thanks for taking us along. Superior is def on my bucket list now.

[@LostLakes]

Thank you so much Chuck! Whatever it was, STUNK like poop!

[@kararit6851]

Your enthusiasm, joy and appreciation for nature and all her wonder is awesome and really comes through in your videos. Your so lucky to have these opportunities, I'm so jealous 👍🌟

[@LostLakes]

Thank you so much Kara. I'm spoiled :)

[@Tbowie13]

If you look very closely you can see the fourth rainbow on the left side as well! Man what a beautiful trip. The only thing I'd do different is cover less area, and fish more, but whatever is your thing, either way it's incredible!

[@SoulfulSmokie]

So grateful for the wonferful veiws and the multiple rainbows. Really nice to watch you are very experienced.

[@LatitudesWildernessFilms]

Jon, this was magnificent to watch! You were blessed with many things on this journey, including spectacular scenes of morning and evening colours. The ambient segments you put together showing those views were a highlight for me. With the dramatic landscape and the cold, clear blue water of Superior I can understand why this is your favourite lake on earth. Sadly I've never set eyes on her myself but I will be dipping my paddle in soon enough. Thank you for putting this journey together on video and sharing your amazing experiences with us! 🍻

[@aresm0sca]

Amazing, I loved the way you kept telling us where you were. Naming the islands and the bay's as you go. I felt like I was following you on the map. Thank you for letting us see this amazing trip.

[@ericgrinstead52]

Just discovered you man...so positive and relaxing. Here I am sitting here typing my butt off...a cog in the wheel and this video was able to transport me somewhere I'd rather be. New subscriber for sure and hey, if you ever need someone to take a trip with you, let me know!

Epic - the best of Lake Superior, I want to go back there again tho I would go in a kayak it's nice to see the shoreline from a paddlers perspective

I found you last night by accident what caught my eye was The Land Before Time, it looks like you had a good time living with Mother Earth No Better Living. I don't understand why you have dislikes on your Adventure maybe they need to get out more to feel the breeze and say thank you to Mother Earth for her beauty and her magnificent animals. I'm always on my TV playing on KZbin with Mother Nature people I like to listen to some of others ideas some are dumb some awesome but never less always worth watching. Semper Fi.

[@bobstewart4342]

Enjoying the trip was easy. I had no problem with the early mornings and no breakfast. The fishing was great and the bugs never bothered me once. I always enjoy your trips, I can't wait for the next one, thank you for taking me along.

[@JeffNoel]

Sorry for the multiple comments, but first of all: Crazy good shots, montage, everything. Shame for the big trout you couldn't get on camera. The gull vs eagle fight was awesome. As someone living way up north (near Kenogami lake), it's rare to see those eagles. I'm coming from Xander's channel, which I also just recently discovered and you guys really got me into canoeing and wild camping adventures. Instant sub. Now I just need to get over my fear of large lakes and rivers (had an extremely close call while swimming in a river where I almost drowned). Gotta start small and slow. Time for me to jump to your other videos!

[@LostLakes]

Comments are always appreciated, thanks a lot Jeff!! No doubt that will shake your confidence in water. The power of water is terrifying stuff. I would try to accept your fear as being very healthy and, just like you said, build up confidence. I've done this hundreds of days and rapids still scare me, and I only run up to class II

Another Edward Abbey fan! I lost my paperback copy of Desert Solitaire so I picked another one up. Every so often, I will pick it up and read a chapter or two. Your quote sticks in my mind as well. My favorite lines are, "For God's sake, leave this place alone-Abbey," and, "For Abbey's sake, leave this place alone-God." Views on faith and God/god aside, the line resonates with my feelings when out in the woods or on the water.

My father had an apartment building and one of his tenants and his buddy did what you are doing on Lake Superior,, And while on an island their canoes somehow got loose and they floated away and we’re stuck out there for 3 days lol. I’m telling you.. what just seems like a fun time and adventure, could kill you out there…. That lake is huge, always cold and creates its own weather system…. I love going to the north shore…. My wife and I were up there 3 years ago for our anniversary.. it’s like time had slowed.up there.. there is great wilderness to witness.. but it’s not without danger. One must be careful and ALWAYS let someone know where you are going..

Hey John! Im going back and watching some videos of yours that I haven't finished off yet as I sit here on the couch feeding my newborn at home for the first time, the scene of the baby beaver cries comes on and confuses me greatly. Awesome trip though! I can't wait to do this one when I'm ready one day!

Thanks for taking me along to learn about Superior from a completely fresh perspective. Those sunrises were incredible. I enjoyed everything about it.

I just loved that interaction between the scrappy seagull and the whimpy eagle 😂

Kudos - started watching but rarely stay with long you tubes....watched it all the way thru. Thanks for taking us along with you as it was totally captivating. You're cinematography, dialogue, and camping/ paddling skills are to be admired. As a Adirondack long in tooth paddler hack I could never make this trip so I am thankful to go along with you. Write that book to be included with the one's you admire for generations to follow. You're adventures rank with the best of them. Congrats on a great video and channel. Ciao

Impressed by how well this video was made

[@driverjoelonghauler2881]

I just stumbled onto your video, very impressive how well you were able to bring us along. Thank you. I watched this while laying over in my sleeper in Minnesota and I asked myself, “ self, what are you doing?” See what you did, just like the whimp eagle 😳. Anyway beautiful trip, thanks again for sharing. 🍺🇨🇦🇺🇸

Hahah thanks a lot Driverjoe!!

Seeing the sheer size of this uninhabited country you can imagine why species like Sasquatch can survive with minimal human interaction for hundreds or thousands of years. Abundant food, huge resources, lots of places to hide. Truly amazing film man.

Thanks a lot Paul! We're spoiled with wilderness here

This is my third night in a row spending time on this video. Thank God you finally got to eat a fish. I love this video so much but when you whipped out your copy of Desert Solitaire I was totally sold.

I'm commenting at the very beginning of this video I'm sure I'll have at least one more before it's over. This is serious serious stuff. Such beauty yet pretty damn scary and intimidating to me at least. So many variables. Love your courage and zest for living life on your terms. Inspirational my man. Fantastic 🤟👊💪
