Grueling 8-Day Camping & Fishing Trip through the Boreal Forest (Full Version)

In 2018, I found a little piece of paradise that needed to be explored further. Fast forward to spring 2019 and Erin and I were getting ready to do just that. Little did we know, the path would be even more brutal than we imagined.
This full version was edited again from scratch. Some parts have been added, some cut, plus the Q&A at the end. There's a lot of bad filming work which nothing can be done for, but at least I can redo the edit...this trip is special to us.

Love it! also i've been whistling that intro tune for weeks!

[@jessesaikaley4867]

At first I was so excited to see a new video. Then disappointed it was just an edit. Then watched it and realized two things. 1) this edit was really well done! 2) you two are some the toughest People ever. That icy start is no joke. I'd be in waders or going home. Lol

[@Photo-Wildlife]

All of your videos are extremely knowledgeable and excellent! I very much enjoy watching all of your videos. Your videos are giving me education on the art of backcountry canoe camping and fishing, and I'm hoping to see guided trips, or even courses, from the two of you one day ! A few things I really like from your trip videos is that you are wearing your PFD at all times on the water and the fact that you do not rush, your trips, either portaging, setting up camp, fishing or explaining something to your viewers.

[@mikeb3674]

maybe Erin. Sorry if I spelled you name wrong. try cutting the gills and bleed the meat so it's not as fishy for her. Btw guys keep up the great team work and wonderful content 😊

[@LostLakes]

Really appreciate all the kind comments folks!

[@katanyajason3316]

Little did Erin know that after this trip you made up your mind that she was a keeper forever 😍

💚💚

Even after she just sat in the canoe and let Johnathon push her through all the garbage. 😳🫣

[@hannahmunro7794]

I’ve been on two trips like this in my life. The highlights of those trips were in the tents at night dreaming of all the simple pleasures we missed from home, (dry towels, watching the weather from the windows etc) the way Erin continues to look at you with so much love despite you bringing her on such gruelling trips is so pure. You’re such a lucky man. She’s so cute.

[@davidmullen1335]

The positive attitude of your gal is outstanding. - I honestly don’t know many women who would endure such a trip - in fact I don’t know many guys who would. LOL Great trip and great vid. I am jealous.

[@LostLakes]

Hahah 100%, she's certainly tougher than I am. Thanks David!

[@davidmullen1335]

@@LostLakes Getting ready to do a winter trip down the Ausable here in Northern MI - it only freezes close to shore but not right now. I took my bark canoe down it and several trips in MI Uppen Penn - much like you did but not nearly the scenery or isolation as your trips in Ontario. I am a very jealous dude. I travel mostly in my cedar canvas but looking at carbon fiber right now and would truly welcome the break in weight. Thanks for posting your awesome vids - keeps the rest of us fired up to get out there and do it.

[@lexwaldez]

I wouldn't. I humped boonies like that back in the day and she wasn't voluntary. I believe I'd fly in to that lake, enjoy a couple extra days on the water, catch my fish, and fly for the bug out as well. I mean... if I'm being honest. LOL well done and hats off to them tho.

Not sure where and how the exhilaration of the experience exceeds the obvious discomfort and hazard? Must be the thrill of living on the edge.

Too bad you guys were so rushed, the part you were relaxing was so calming to watch and took me there with you. Erin is such a trooper, bruises and bad boot sole and still kept a positive attitude. That was a tough adventure for sure. Great vid, thank you for sharing.

[@LostLakes]

Thanks a lot Dave! She sure is, and it really would've been nice to have more time to linger on this one

[@mauricerodriguez5133]

You two handled all the hard parts of this eight day trip very well and still showed us a beautiful time. Thank you for all that you do, I was especially amazed at the large channel that John covered one day when Erin was resting; huge solid rocky beautiful sides. Must of been lots of fun to paddle through this amazing area. Keep posting these beautiful trips. It has encouraged me to start looking at visiting this area on the north end of Lake Superior during the summer of 2022. I will add you to my prayers so you remain safe in all your travels. Regards from South Texas!!!

[@LostLakes]

Very much appreciated Maurice! That was a beautiful paddle in that channel...I'm missing it as I think back on it. It's a stunning drive along the north shore of Superior with many stops along the way. Hope you find a chance to do it :)

[@jefqueshoang8075]

Naan is the LAST thing I expected to see 13 minutes into any camping/survival video lol caught me by surprise for sure! AMAZING AMAZING VIDEO!!!! Thank you!!!!

You know this trekking in these difficult places is a challenge but with the detailed filming you guys are doing, it makes everything pretty tedious. But we all appreciate the effort. Trek ON!

13:35 was the moment I giggled and said out loud "poor Erin". Little does she know her shoes will fall apart too. Man, tough woman. Makes me proud for women out there! Great video!

[@woongtv-naturehealing273]

The scene of collecting firewood, catching fish, and cooking gives me a lot of excitement. The whole video is like a scene from a movie. Fighting! From South Korean KZbinr Woongkham.👍👍👍

It's the small things in life I enjoy the most. One example is the unforgettable calls of a pair of loons on the water. Excellent video.

What an incredible trip! Grueling. And the views though. Those cliffs were so incredible! I hope to be like you both when I grow up as a canoer. Wild places are magical!

[@ripplesandleaves]

My honey and I agree, you're still together after this trip... that bodes well for your relationship. We've been together for 30 years so we have had a few times we've had to slog together. Wishing you both much happiness and many trips. 💜

[@LostLakes]

Thanks Andrea!! It would be hard to find a better litmus test for a relationship!

[@cheriecoffee336]

My hubby has been watching your videos for a couple of months. We turned this one on to watch together a couple of weeks ago. It was my first Lost Lakes video and I was completely hooked. Now we sit down almost every evening together and watch your adventures. They remind us of our own adventures many years ago and have us discussing the possibility of purchasing a canoe again. But, in the meantime, thank you for allowing us to live vicariously through your adventures. We love seeing where you and Erin will end up next.

[@LostLakes]

Aw thanks so much Cherie! We really appreciate you two joining us 💚

[@Gonrich7]

This is my first time watching your video. I watched the entire thing. You guys are a great team! So motivating to see you two overcome your obstacles. I really appreciated this video. Such beautiful landscape. I look forward to more of your adventures! Stay safe!

[@tombean1073]

Again Erin is a wonderful companion and that is something to be grateful for. One thing I have wondered is why you dont fly fish on these lakes. You get into some beautiful water. Thanks for another great adventure you guys rock!

[@LostLakes]

Thanks again Tom!! Interested to try but ultimately it's one more thing to bring and that's always a tough sell on these trips :)

[@mikedandar1171]

This was amazing! I doubt I could handle what you two went through. Thanks for sharing the full episode.

[@LostLakes]

Thanks a lot Mike!

[@jimmorris6500]

I discovered these videos a couple months ago. I downloaded a bunch to bring up with me to a remote cabin I built up the in Thousand Islands area. I love Canada. My folks had a cottage back in late 60's built in Ontario on Farren Lake. Beautiful. What I really enjoy about these videos is neither John or Erin act like experts. They have a lot of good information. Mistakes are made which they talk about, but never an attitude. Just a couple of nice folks with good knowledge out in the wilderness. I watched a guy whos youtube page is "The Lone Wolf". Looked good at first but then I got sooo tired of his attitude and arrogance. So Lost Lakes is such a great change.

[@LostLakes]

Truly appreciate that Jim---thank you!!

[@brianmcwilliams326]

The wife and I just watched the episodes....... we will watch again!!!!

[@brianmcwilliams326]

Also a bit of advice....... if your significant other looks at you the way these two do!! Lock them down!!!!

[@LostLakes]

Hahaha thanks for enduring it with us....twice!

[@johnstonier8795]

The start was of this trip alone would have been enough to dissuade most people from continuing. There’s nothing like standing in ice water up to your hips. Can’t believe you guys forged on ahead through all of that! Thanks for the video!

[@arbdapeish]

Wasn’t sure how it was gonna go after you branded Erin with the fry pan. As usual excellent, well done. A journey of trials and tribulations. I was thinking as you slogged the marsh “We mustn’t look in the lights Master.”

[@LostLakes]

LOL we've definitely made that reference out there. Thanks David!!

[@glennmiley75]

Beavers are a blessing and a curse. They can make a nice pond or lake but also choke off flow to a creek or channel. Then opportunistic plants further impede what used to be a stream. Those tough slogs in bogs showed up as navigable water on your map. Indeed they were at one time before beaver dams dried them out. You didn't let that or the ice or the lack of trails stop you. Erin gets bonus boot points. Thank you for sharing this and showing us all what perseverance and adaptive thinking can achieve.

[@LostLakes]

Much appreciated Glenn :)

[@larrymuenster8626]

What a great trip! I sure enjoy watching you two on canoe trips.

[@LostLakes]

[@Outdoorkrb]

Hey guys! Love your videos!! I grew up in marathon and Ice fished Boyer many times growing up. I guess we weren’t brave enough to go in the summer lol!! The terrain is killer! Great video and keep up the good work!

[@LostLakes]

Much appreciated!!! Hahah yeah it's funny how easy this would seem with a sled when it's all frozen solid. Beautiful lakes. Ever get into fish in Nellie (with the cliffs, between Seeley and Lacobeer)? I have had no success there in my two visits (spring and summer). Wondering if it was fished out

[@Outdoorkrb]

Definitely way way easier. I haven’t attempted it in the summer but would love too. When I seen and heard where you were going it brought back some great memories of all the hugggeee hills. You guys are crazy(in an awesome way of course). I remember fishing Nellie once with no luck. We did well on Boyer and sometimes North skipper! We usually waited until late in the year though because we had to break trail. Didn’t want to fish it out or everyone else to fish it out. You know how it goes.

[@Outdoorkrb]

Have you explored the steel river at all? Or any lakes up dead horse road?

[@LostLakes]

@@Outdoorkrb yeppers, Steel is probably my favorite river. Did the loop, then the river, then this year the south end to the lake. Been to up few up deadhorse too

[@Outdoorkrb]

That’s amazing. Love that river also. I’ve done rainbow fishing at the mouth of the steel and superior. And also been up dead horse road and went into the steel there too. Amazing fishing! One day I hope to make it back. Maybe do some filming like you guys also. Keep the videos coming looking forward to the next! Who knows, might run into each other one day!!

[@bryanreitter6486]

I believe it takes almost a 1/4 of a mile for loons to take off and fly, due to their large heavy bones. Maybe you witnessed them attempting to take off and fly!

[@louisepotier2784]

Thank-you for the Q&A at the end. I was also wondering about those boots. Jeez. Since they were used maybe they had already been repaired. Poor Erin to have dealt with that. As I watched this film I very much liked the teamwork. If you both could get through that you can get through anything. This adventure was a few months into dating to boot!!!! It was a bit (a lot) of a nightmare. But together it was easier to bear. What strength of spirit! And you are going back, you will know what to look out for! Take care. 🙂

[@AntSurviveTheNight]

Oh boy! That was a tough one for you both, great for us to watch though. You two are hardcore 👍. Beautiful scenery as always. Also top work on catching quality size fish too. All the best, Ant.

Enjoyed the first episodes of that trip and I usually don't watch something the second time but couldn't help myself for this one, it was epic! You mentioned in the video not having much time to fish some of the beautiful lakes, excellent reason to head back! Technical, smechnical, whatever your comfortable with and keeps you out there. lol I am tall, with long legs and I find it hard to kneel. I have done it in rough lake/ocean water but I find my legs, feet and butt go to sleep. I am so preoccupied with being uncomfortable that I find it hard to think about anything else. When I try to unfold after an extended period, walking is not the easiest! haha! Not sure what your talking about when you say " bad filming", saw none of that! Thanks for sharing. :) :)

Thanks so much J!! Hahah perfect explanation for the kneeling...especially with my stilts. The "unfolding" is a challenge 😆

Your channel is just amazing! Thank you very much! It inspires me!

That was a brutal trip.. but wow! The lakes and scenery were beautiful. You two work so well together. I have a feeling if it was my husband and I doing this that only one of us would come back..lol. I appreciated the Q&A at the end.. someone asked about bears, and I've been curious about that as well. Glad to hear you carry bear spray with you. I really enjoy your videos and the two of you are adorable💙

I can say doing what you too are doing will build growth in each of you or anybody . it comes with team work and learning more about yourself and your partner knowing what both of you are capable of finding what's new about you or your partner what helps and dont help .

[@LostLakes]

Appreciate that SR :)
