Hard to believe, but this is the first new canoe tripping video in 7 months, and the first one with Erin in over 9 months. Another trip has already happened since this one, and another one starts this weekend 😁 Great to be back out!

[@LostLakes]

The comfort is fantastic. Comparing to a tent, tradition hammock, and diagonal-sleeping hammock, the Amok is the most comfortable. Slightly more of a learning curve to them. Very well designed and crafted.

[@rayleo529]

Why in the world wouldn't you keep a fish for super? Fun adventure.

[@LostLakes]

@@rayleo529 hey Wallace, Erin isn't a fan of seafood

[@rayleo529]

@@LostLakes LOL....seafood......I'm sorry, I thought you two were on a lake chain. My bad.

[@connieschrader3455]

You 2 are delightful together. Erin I love your positive attitude even when you are beyond exhausted. I have watched the same ones multiple times and never get tired of them. A peaceful interlude in my noisy life. ❤

“You’re just really slimy and I know that’s not your fault”. My favourite line of the whole trip!

Hahah Erins say the darndest things

"I've got Like hands, and I don't hate it.". That is a keeper for sure! My best for 2021 to you both.

[@golfish8589]

@@LostLakes pike are smelly. I just ordered two amok hammocks. Any advice? Are you till enjoying them? I suggest grinding down the barbs on the hooks. Makes for easy release. From your hand and fish

[@LostLakes]

Erin, knocking it dead with the pike! You go woman! Oh yeah Jon, i guess you caught a few too...lol. Great trip! Many thanks!

[@LostLakes]

Hahaha she definitely took this round. Thanks TTM!

[@BCyr1991]

Its nice to see respectful handling of smaller Pike. Too many people treat them so poorly, "disappointed" that its not a big one. But you've gotta let the little ones get big...

[@LostLakes]

Fantastic point. They're often treated like garbage. They might not be a thrill or good for the pan (the small ones, that is), but damn they're still living creatures...

[@buckmaster3594]

Hay einstein, bcd652rdfgsjui9911, do your homework, pike destroy trout fisheries.

Your attention to your fans is so amazing and great to see. It must be time consuming, but hopefully it gives you joy. I like reading your correspondence to everyone, wholesome.

[@LostLakes]

Thanks again Noah! There are so many ways to spend one's time online and so many channels...appreciate anyone who takes the time to not just watch but provide feedback or support. It takes a lot of time but we enjoy it :)

[@tombeckett4340]

Your lucky those pike didn’t break your line not using a leader. Pike are fun to catch and good when the water is cold. Thanks nice trip. 👍🇨🇦

[@LostLakes]

Thanks Tom, we actually had 20# fluoro leaders on. Also have 80# but have still never been bitten off using 20 so I stick with that as it's a lot harder for the fish to see

[@barbarawalberg1520]

Glad to see you out having fun!

[@LostLakes]

Back to life 😁

[@brianshutter6657]

The excitement of catching a big fish, Erin reacted great! You always want to at least see the fish! It was great to just see you two out and about again! Can't wait for more videos! Take care of each other!

[@CanadianSledDog]

I've been watching your channel as I'm learning to fish and I finally hooked my first fish, from the canoe, on a backcountry lake! I was trolling with my new rod holder when a huge fish just slammed my lure, bent my rod right over, fought like crazy and spat my pinched hook the moment I made a mistake. It was awesome. Thanks for all the great advice!

[@LostLakes]

Thanks CSD, that's awesome! Love that you took joy out of it despite losing it, and that you're pinching barbs even as a beginner. KUDOS!!!

[@backroadbirder3316]

Love watching your videos, as well as Joe's, and experiencing the sights and sounds of places I'll never have the pleasure of visiting. I do get to experience some of your birds though, either in late fall thru mid-spring, like the White-throated Sparrow, or birds just passing thru', like the Swainson's Thrush. My favorite avian song belongs to the Wood Thrush, for the same reasons as your affection for the Swainson's. I sure wish the Winter Wrens sang when they are here. Seems like you guys should call them Summer Wrens. Happy Birding, from the southern US.

That's awesome Mark! Welcome to the club!!

[@karmaclanton5544]

[@LostLakes]

Thanks KC!! It was nice to have a chill one :)

[@ActuallyAndrewFishing]

I recently did my first hammock camping trip. Who would have thought it would have been such a comfortable and ultralight way to camp. I packed my fishing kayak with gear and headed out on crown land. Loved it. The hammock is much lighter to pack than a tent, and when the conditions are right, so much more beautiful of an experience to sleep in. Great video, those veggies and seasoned steaks looked delicious! Love how you always offer Erin the first sip of beer. Chivalry is a great trait!

[@LostLakes]

Thanks a lot Andrew! It's one of things where, if you like it, you might never go back. We really love them

[@alanaward6584]

[@JeffWinter1]

Good video. I love my Original Bug Jacket, couldn't live without it, especially in the Spring. As for tackle, I've split the difference, replaced most of my trebles with single barbed hooks. Get fewer hookups but when I do they are way easier to release and rarely come off. Not as many snags either, or finger accidents.👍

[@LostLakes]

Right on, that's still a huge improvement over barbed trebles! We're loving the bug shirts this spring too. Thanks Jeff :)

[@alexs3447]

[@bonilsson3161]

I agree completely with the handling of the small pikes, Its like you say, they are living creatures. I am pretty sure you handle all kind of living things the same way maybe expect ticks and mosquitos, deerflyes (and a few more...)

[@LostLakes]

Hahah exactly. I'm also not a big fan of slugs lol. But small pike deserve just as much respect as any other fish...they tend to get abused pretty badly.

I commented on another video but it was about you being injured while Erin is with you and you couldn't remember any. I can think of a couple and have forgotten a few but the hook in your leg, your knee and she has to pull you out on a sled...I'm not knocking you at all. I admire and only wish I could live your lifestyle! I love camping and fishing! Try to make a trip in upstate NY...you won't be disappointed. The Adirondac Mountain area is a Gem!

[@LostLakes]

Ahh true the hook in the leg...the recent injury was the only one I could think of. I've only driven through the Adirondacks and they're beautiful. Thank you!

[@dancampbell9405]

We put that trail in in 1975 the same year we did the gravel and used it regularly till 200? it's always been a little cranky for first 200 yards and if left alone you'll need at least a hour and a half to clear it down 45 minutes back up. If there's been a blowdown event on the slope goodness only knows. I think the 2 Robs will up there this summer so I'll be looking for the return trip and was really looking forward to seeing you make it. So I'm subscribed Thanks.

[@LostLakes]

Hahah very likely that it's gonna happen...but not this year. If we do the Gravel River, that's a serious undertaking. There's a very narrow window for that route in the spring and it's notoriously bad...but I absolutely want to do it. Thanks TR!

[@FreakofNature1]

Waterfall would have been unreal. I hope you get to see it one day!

[@LostLakes]

It was tough to give up on it. Funny thing was knowing we could've flown the drone over to it...but that's not how we wanted to see it. It's on the Gravel River which is in my plans but it's a notorious trip so we'll have to see...
