Solo Fall Camping & Salmon Fishing on the Wild Pukaskwa Coast

[@christy76840]

I love that you thank the animal/fish that you catch and cook. It's a noble thing to do.

[@XanderBudnick]

Nice Salmon! such a pretty fish! loved how excited you got :D

[@fishmonkesus]

Man I can't explain how much I love your videos. Like every time. I envy going out on trips as much as you do, but its a good envy because I get to sit here and feel like I'm part of the trip from home. I can't wait to get a car. Also I admire the consciousness and care you take when you're out there. If everyone loved nature as much as you do and took the little steps to minimize their impact the world will be a better place. With these videos you have a great potential to do good and inspire others. Beautiful fish and great video as always!

[@coolgrandma4952]

We are from NW Ohio and stumbled on Pukaskwa 18-19 yrs. ago and fell in love with it. Our family has been back numerous times. IT IS ONE BEAUTIFUL PARK! Hiking is amazing. Your video makes me want to go back again.

[@ek8137]

23:44 Baird boys would be proud of that "Yeaaahh" Congrats on the catch!

[@RazDaz74]

Look at the clarity of the water when he started cooking the salmon! Best part of the trip... rocks edge, coast of lake, wind blowing, salmon crackling in hot 🔥 oil!!! 😋😋😋

[@bushcraft_crush2455]

Great stick stove pointers thank you! That time laps was amazing your videos get better and better and the scenery on this one was just amazing 😍

[@Hockyplyr10]

At the 10 minute mark on the bridge was so awesome. The view from the bridge and the noise of the water was spectacular and peaceful. Maybe a little nerve racking too haha

[@deepwoodsengineering3763]

Looking at used trucks and watching a Lost Lakes video is a great way to spend a Saturday evening

[@d.b.7372]

🍺 Congratulations on catching your salmon. The way you rigged your rod it was only a matter of time till you caught one. The view from the spot you picked for shore lunch was perfect. Thanks for taking us for the paddle along the shores of Lake Superior. We really appreciate all the work you do for your vlogs. 🚣

[@LostLakes]

Really appreciate that DB!! One of the best shore lunches I've had :)

[@martyf8484]

Bro, so happy you got your first salmon. Just watching you enjoy the moment made the entire video for me. I wish you many more in your future. Play on brother!

[@mohammadasadi2274]

Your videos are so eye-catching. Thank you!

[@JC-es3rs]

I love how you recognize the land your on at the start of the video 👍

You an Erin are so lucky to live in a place so beautiful. Wonderful video. Thank you Cheers

[@jasonreid611]

Can’t say it enough…Love the fishing and scenery of Northern Ontario. Looking forward to you getting 100k subscribers.

[@mikeandrzejewski3523]

Man that lake looks as big as an ocean . Very nice pictures you do a fantastic job on your videos

[@AndreaWitt745]

That shot at 14:53 was absolutely beautiful! It was almost majestic, thank you.

[@debh9328]

So glad you got a salmon, not even a decision about keeping it or not!, I’m drooling & jealous! Thank you for a moment of beauty and serenity in your gorgeous country, ❤️ you & loons!

[@stevenash3582]

Thanks for bringing back so many wonderful memories . Awesome you caught the salmon that you were looking for. Counting down the days until I will be there!!! Can't wait!!!!

[@elderlopez4940]

I love this video. You spoiled us today with a view. Felt like I was there with you too. Great quality and super sound. And all the wild life was priceless. The water was so clear and chalky. Great scenery all day and night. Plus a Salmon. Just hit the spot.

[@LostLakes]

Really appreciate this!!

[@ericada9368]

Another great one Jon. Thanks for the views, the falls, the bridge, the sunset. And congrats for the salmon!!

[@clifffawcett]

Really enjoyed this video. What a beautiful area! Fun overnight trip for sure. And that salmon! How exciting! Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

[@konciliogasco3324]

Perfect for a Soulfully smooth ending for the weekend ;) Thank You and congratulations and Cheers to you both!!!

[@LostLakes]

That's what I like to hear :) Thanks so much KG!!!

[@justintimeoutdoors5790]

Really good video for being a one nighter. Love the tips and how you explain them.

[@troutwardbound]

So awesome. I totally know the feeling of getting skunked or missing a bunch of fish and then being gifted a wonderful chromer by nature. Glory to your house!

[@april906outdoors3]

The pure exhilaration when you caught that salmon! ❤️ The red squirrel secretly wanted to try a bite, too. 🐿 So many eagle sightings - wow.

[@tvishnuramsomuchettiar3411]

An interesting adventure .This video made up my week. Really sweet

[@rebeccadees2300]

Your joy and enthusiasm is so beautiful. You truly love what you’re doing .

[@LostLakes]

🤠🤠

[@andrewosborne4061]

Your work has improved. I hope your audience builds so you can do this full time.

[@stephendouglas6328]

Love love love the trips on the big lake! Pukaskwa looks amazing. Thanks for another outstanding film Jon.

[@peacefulwife5199]

Eating that fresh caught salmon almost looked like a spiritual moment. Actually, everything outdoors is very spiritual. 🦋

[@LostLakes]

Totally agree

[@anhatur]

Can I say it another way? We humans are made to live in contact with nature. And while it has been difficult for us indeed, isolating ourselves from nature isolates us from an important part of ourselves. So while you may call it spiritual, I'll call it "a whole, full life".

[@pb82zeppelin50]

Great Channel John. I watch you almost every night. Love your passion for the environment.

[@michaelschuetz2427]

Great sunset, night sky, sunrise sequence and on the big lake add the salmon catch and, cook its all really fantastic. White River gorge really cool too. Hespeller made my favorite old hockey gloves. Probably way more money in brewing I'd bet 😅. Love the pace of this quick overnighter.

[@meredithlarkin9949]

Wow! What an amazing sunset!!!! Love what you're doing! Thank you for sharing 😊

[@LostLakes]

Thanks so much Meredith!

[@philphilison1623]

Watching Superior videos during the winter allows me to travel back down memory lane towards warmer days. 🥳

[@rbj2292]

I've been watching KZbin canoeing and camping videos for about 2 months now. Yours are by far the best on here.

[@LostLakes]

Very generous but I truly appreciate that... Thank you!

[@rbj2292]

@@LostLakes Just an idea, maybe gives an update on how you're doing with your knee.

[@LostLakes]

@@rbj2292 thank you :) just posted one in FB and Instagram coincidentally and I'm hoping to make a video update if I can do a little car camping soon ish

[@dwrivers47]

Great overnighter - congrats on the Salmon. Superior is majestic 😊

[@josephs3005]

Thanks Jon. You make great videos. May God bless you and Erin.

[@LostLakes]

Thanks a bunch Joseph!!

[@shaneflickinger]

Amazing looking park. I love all those coves and islands. Thanks Jon.

[@derekgraziano9499]

Great video u just keep getting better and better at making vids ... love watching your channel grow in many ways ..

[@anthonylopez4998]

That sunset shot and starry night timelapse were breathtaking! Thanks for making another great video!

[@carolwilson9341]

A few years ago we did the exact same trip as the ending to a 10 day Pukaskwa kayak trip. Went to the same little campsite, but it was too small for our group, hiked to the suspension bridge, and most of all relished the beauty of Lake Superior.

[@MHarenArt]

Ahahaaa! Your joy when you caught that salmon was priceless! Looked absoluely delicious! I never go fishing or camping but sometimes I find myself wishing I did so I could have fresh fish when I wanted it. Great video and an usual fantastic photography!! Stay helathy and safe! Hugs for Erin.

[@tombeckett4340]

The White River has some amazing white Water paddling very exciting. 🇨🇦👍

[@DanReinfoma]

Let’s go Jon!!! You just made my lazy Sunday. Hope you’re well.

[@LostLakes]

Hahaha that's what I like to hear Dan!! Back from a 12-day trip and doing top notch. Hope you are too :)

[@rebeccadees2300]

I enjoy your videos especially when you explain what you’re doing and why…very interesting and informative.

[@mightylore]

Nice! Congrats on your first salmon! That looks amazing!

[@Stefnfurryfriends]

So happy for you for the salmon! 😍 congrats! Love all ur videos… always great to chill and watch, thank you!

[@Julie-l7r]

Salmon is my all time favorite thing to eat 😋 I just LOVE salmon!! Congratulations on your first catch 👏

[@GratefulTrekker]

Great video Jon your production value has gotten better and better ty for sharing

[@SwedishCottage]

Great video Jon and great landscape over there! Looks like the leaves are just starting to turn, much like here in Sweden.

[@alexdetrojan4534]

Another great video. I was on the coastal trail back in either '91 or '92 and I've got to tell you that place is bear central! I saw more bears than humans that week. You've got bears roaming the street in Marathon which is cool, but when I lived in Kelowna, you've got cougars at times on the street, and no not the 40+ year old type either and that's very uncool. Looking forward to your next wilderness adventure. 👍

[@trevordinsmore2194]

Another great one Jon...you're really kickin on the cinematography!!

[@MrYoko1969]

More overnighters please Jon, that was a treat.

[@thomasben3991]

Good stuff! The bridge , waterfall , squirrel , salmon , eagle's . Amazing! btw the underwater footage is really cool also :D

[@robinmoore5181]

Very cool video. Yummy fish. Beautiful soundscapes. Thank you for sharing your story 🌸

[@jodyreay733]

So beautiful and peaceful! I loved your excitement when you caught the salmon! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@tahiti-girl]

Absolutely beautiful sunset, scenery and photography. I love the little squirrel, so cute. I’m glad you caught your salmon and I appreciate you thanked him. Thank you for bringing us along. Many Blessings to you and Erin.

[@LostLakes]

Thank you as always!

[@ianwatson8618]

Nice to see the territorial acknowledgment at the beginning.

[@LostLakes]

🧡🧡

[@william7447]

Kudos! Great adventure, a solo that was done very well. Thanks for taking us with you

[@CarlOutside]

Fun trip, nothing better than a fresh Salmon meal on the shore,...Just back from some Salmon fishing in your neck of the woods, rivers were low but we still did pretty good, would love to get back up again this fall, amazing place

[@jasonlehmkuhl9175]

Wood emits the same amount of Co2 if burned or left to decompose in the woods, it only takes longer during the decomposition process. The carbon footprint is the same in the end. Factor in the production process, packaging production process and shipping process for butane and I think the footprint is much less for wood.

[@dustintaylor9157]

Very well done! I can tell you put a lot of effort into filming these scenes

[@cynthiaana4808]

What a sunset and sliver of a moon!

[@cameronjproductions3536]

Love the videos, editing, narration, all of it!!

[@MOAB]

I worked for the construction company that built the bridge over the Big Pic River in 1980. The entrance to Pukaskwa Park. I was 20 years old and have some great memories of this beautiful area. I lived in the Everest Hotel which I now understand has burned down.

[@alanbierhoff6831]

Congratulations on your salmon. I remember my first time. It’s definitely a special event. I know I often forget to mention it but, your camera work is outstanding. That sunset was incredible

[@patrickirish9427]

Awesome video Jon, one of these days I think I'll be going to start vlogging my own trips. Cheers buddy!

[@karmaclanton5544]

Beauty sunset!!! Looks like a cool place!!! Love your videos and the educational bits!!! Thank you!!!

[@blakearrowsmith7446]

Beautiful video! Thanks for always sharing your thoughts and tips! Inspiring as always.

[@LostLakes]

Thanks as always Blake!!

[@henrivanbemmel]

Wow, it's deja vu! In 2008, I hiked from Hattie Bay to the mouth of the Willow River and back. The bridge then was a different story. There was a piece of 2 x 6 every foot or so, with NOTHING in between except a fine mesh net below if someone dropped their camera. Totally cool. I walked back a forth a couple of times. There were two stays, one from each side that kept the bridge from swaying to flipping with a top-heavy hiker. There were none of the guardrails at the beginning either. Anyhow, it was very cool to start in this VERY Boreal forest and then by the time you got to the water there were aspens etc. Climate courtesy of the Lake. Thanks for your work. Henri (Hiking with Henri)

[@jacqueline7118]

You certainly were spoiled, so much beauty with scenery and wildlife. Congrats on your salmon, way to go! Thanks for sharing. :) :)

[@TheTrevortyrone]

Thank you for your work and for sharing with us

[@TreeManDingo]

I just got back from a trip to this park. Hidden gem is an under statement. 14hr drive was absolutely worth it and will make the trip again.

[@kenrybchuk4309]

Another fantastic video! They really make my day. Being a fly fisher geez wish I could spend some time in those areas…but living in Saskatchewan such places I can only dream of. Even where I live it would be a huge undertaking to even start.

[@tomscott1159]

Fresh first-caught salmon or nachos as promised with your wonderful SO. You made the best choice: both! And another great video to boot!

[@mr.wither6913]

Hello Jon and Erin. I'll be taking a week-long kayak trip on the coast of Lake Superior along Pukaskwa in a couple of weeks. I'm wondering what gear I should take for fishing. So far I have barbless hooks but I'm wondering what lures I should get and recommendations for prepping my line. Cheers and happy travels. 🍻

[@raymondjarvis1993]

about the point at 5:25, you also have to consider that the CO2 from burning wood will end up in the atmosphere anyways if the wood is let to rot. But natural gas is an addition to the natural cycle since it comes from deep underground where it won't affect anything.

[@davidspoelstra8527]

25:53 camera shot is so nice. Not many people would think to do this.

[@MrDiPY]

Anyone else get goosebumps(?) when he held up the gas cannister near the stove flames? 🤣

[@ActuallyAndrewFishing]

That was an epic sunset! I'm struggling with salmon this year too! I don't have much time to hit the water, and the days I have, have been poor conditions.

[@paulgreco2188]

Thanks John I haven't tuned in for a while...so glad u made it to the mouth of the white and got your salmon experience...that spot is magical

[@RusticAdventureBelize]

Wow you are doing amazing things and videos. Thank you for sharing.

[@jackasnacks]

That chainlink bridge above the falls was amazing. I love when man made structures are intertwined with nature. Not too much but enough to compliment an area to allow us to enjoy it even more. I also love the idea of animals using it too. Would love to see a camera setup on it for a couple of nights and see what animals use it

[@LostLakes]

Pukaskwa does have trail cams for their FB page but I don't think on the bridge...that would be awesome. Totally agree, love when they find that sweet spot of complimenting nature with human design

[@munnster0]

That was a pretty cool moment. Yummers!

[@justinflott5133]

Finally made it up last week. Was worth the wait with the border closure. Was planning my next trip on the drive home.

[@brianbenson3669]

Beautiful little fish ! Next salmon trip, take along the wasabi & soy sauce and eliminate the hassle of cooking ... sashimi ... yummmmm! :)

[@brendabinau1187]

That is one cute little squirrel!! Congrats on your salmon!!

[@GratefulTrekker]

Great view from that suspension bridge and Indian food is my favorite pack in food (fish is best though) even better I'd get a veggie curry and add fish mmm...

[@michaelnowak993]

Great that you got your salmon!!!! Great video!!!

[@kevinchung8169]

Just hiked the Mdaabii Miikna trail there. Amazing, raw, beauty. Picture Rock Harbour was great. Thanks for the video

[@hankremer6606]

Tasty! Congratulations on your first salmon. My quest continues!

[@johnherman3261]

That eagle would’ve liked a bite of that salmon Jon. Glad to see you catch one but I was hoping for a twenty pounder. Stay safe my friend.

[@nevillesmith9130]

Yes man!!! That’s awesome… loved the reaction when you finally hooked up. I get it.. Salmon can be frustrating at the best of time. To hook up from a canoe flat lining is epic dude!

[@joebast1842]

Thank you for actually explaining the wood stove vs gas canisters/ natural gas/ propane to people! I feel like a lot of people just regurgitate what they hear our government saying about “climate change” but no one actually thinks through this logically and emotionless to fully understand the truths and nuances. It’s reshreshing to hear from a prominent KZbinr that can actually think through a problem and look at it from more than one avenue.

[@LostLakes]

Appreciate it Joe :)

[@eegles]

It's also not true that burning wood emits CO2. The wood is made from CO2 pulled out of the atmosphere by the tree as it grew. Burning it returns the CO2 to the atmosphere, so there's no net increase in emissions. Burning gas that was underground for millions of years adds new CO2 to the atmosphere.

[@Twobarpsi]

16:36 I don't color grade either!!! Great trip Bud!

[@DaxWoodsWanderer]

You got your Salmon man, that rocks! It is such an amazing feeling laying eyes on that target species on the end of your line.

[@tombeckett4340]

We caught all sorts of pink Salmon around the islands at Rossport. Great spot for the canoe. That was a long time ago. 👍🇨🇦

[@davemayers9342]

Jon, I really love the way you take time to explain things and how you approach things. I'm finding your videos to be some of the best out there, so impressed !!! it's an absolute joy to be tagging along on your trips bro :) congrats on the salmon too (a year late, hehe)

[@LostLakes]

Appreciate all your kind comments so much Dave! 💚

Love the salmon and the Zoelo review at the end !! Thanks buddy another great video
