-26° Solo Camping 10 Days - Predators, Snow & Storms

[@jimfromm3981]

I've been a subscriber for a long time. This was one of my favorites. It brought back so many memories of trips I took in my youth. Nothing says the North like a Pendleton shirt, bright sun, splitting wood with a well-worn axe, the smell of wood smoke, and working yourself into a sweat in the snow. I appreciate the immense work and patience it takes to capture these trips alone, and I thank you for allowing thousands of people like me to return to the moments in our lives when we were as rugged as the outdoors; days that lifted our spirits and instilled a lifelong love of nature. You are creating a legacy of which you can long be proud.

[@LostLakes]

Truly appreciate that Jim!

[@tesina21]

Well said Jim!

[@michaelschuetz2427]

I couldn't agree more Jim.

[@cs6032]

Very well said. Loved your video Jon. Been watching you from the beginning and it just keeps getting better. You seem so at peace and settled in your element. It really comes through in the thoughtful moments you share. Love the peaceful musical interludes and portrayal of Ontario’s immense natural beauty. So awesome 😊

[@Drainoed]

Beautifully said Jim. ❤️

[@dayrue4696]

Those wolves were so beautiful and majestic! I’m so happy you caught them on video.

[@terribly1]

Takeout, comfy socks, and fresh LostLakes. Perfect Friday. Thank you!

[@janm2473]

You have good taste!! :)

[@David-bj2yo]

Fantastic Friday night!

[@maryfields1111]

Haha! Indeed! I wholeheartedly agree!

[@MamaStyles]

Ramen, barefoot(I’m in bed) and a fresh lost lakes here too. It’s my oldest of my four teenagers 19th birthday so he’s off for a boys weekend with his friends . I’m sitting here grateful for Jons upload so I don’t cry that my baby is now a man who’s probably going to be drinking too much beer tonight 😊

[@AndreaWitt745]

My teen daughters got invited to a sleepover tonight and I finally have me time! A nice hot bath and lost lakes is just what I needed after this long week. I hope you have a wonderful evening!

[@Julie-l7r]

Me, my dog in bed watching Lost Lakes ❤ life is good 👍 😊

Wolves, Pike, Otter, Birds, Music. A+ on this video, thanks for sharing.

[@clairehudson-mclean2630]

Jon and Erin, I have watched your channel for years. As a fellow Canadian, I am proud of our country and how we treat our land. Please accept my deep gratitude for your videos, and your education about our heritage. I will never experience your travels as a person with disabilities, and am privileged to see it through your eyes. Thank you for sharing your lives and love, for each other and our land. Cheers!🤟

[@LostLakes]

We really appreciate that 💚

[@pennymack8232]

Love love this show ❤️ I wish I could have saw you and Erin's wedding I loved the engagement proposal

[@Streetnamedak]

Bro you were able to let me survive 3 days in the hospital with a collapsed lung because of these winter camping videos. I will forever love you for that.

[@LostLakes]

💚 Wishing you a speedy recovery

[@kimrose621]

hope you’re okay now!

[@diannejudith1]

Should go watch outdoor boys Pretty good

[@David-bj2yo]

Lost Lake's is very relaxing too watch! Keep on camping Lost Lakes!

[@Walkerxy]

Been there dude, shit sucks. Feel better my guy.

[@PackerManForLife]

What a priviledge to be in that moment with those Wolves. "Beautiful" is an understatement. Im envious of your experience.

[@fulfordpoint]

I always indulge in the majesty of your journey sharing the sights and sounds of isolation. Your honest and witty narration gives comfort whether your trip is short or long. You are an amazing film maker as well as a wonderful story teller combined with a respect for the land that makes your videos authentic. I wish I could give you an award you richly deserve.

[@LostLakes]

USA truckers watching you daily over and over again you keep me going better than coffee God bless keep exploring brother Peter ,Slovakia

[@michaeldoherty2289]

One thing I love about your trips is the amazing cooking. I watched this with my mouth watering. When I was young we ate a lot of pasta, baked beans, and bread on our trips. Of course augmented with fish when we could. Nothing like you do now. Wonderful wolf shots. I had a very similar experience on the Canadian side on the east end of Gunflint Lake in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (Minnesota) on a snowy Christmas to New Years week, many years ago. I was taking a break sitting against my gear on a toboggan when 3 wolves came out of a cedar bottom. They saw this lump on the ice and came right out to me to see what it was. About 30 meters away they realized I was a human and turned and loped away. Magical. Keep them coming Jon. I am an old man now and live through your amazing adventures. All the best to you and Erin. Spring is coming. Life is stirring.

[@castle228]

Being in IT, there is rarely something I enjoy more than machine processing time on a project that I'm working on; it allows me to let my mind wander and fully immerse myself into your adventures, Jon. What a great trip this was, even though it took me 4 sessions to make it through. Catching the pike was a highlight for me, but the morning of day 8 and the trio of wolves tied for the top spot events. Wolf #3 definitely had a "Stranger Danger" moment when it sensed you. I envy your ability to catch nature in all its glory. I don't have the eye, nor the right equipment, but you and Xander, and some others on YT, have inspired me to get myself a nice camera to try my hand at capturing moments as beautifully as you all do. Thanks for taking us along!! Cheers!

[@LostLakes]

Thanks a lot castle! Keep that camera out :)

[@patti3447]

Absolutely beautiful awesome footage .. your alone trips are my most favourite..peaceful..quiet..educational.. shows your gentleness.. thank you loved every second😊

[@WestCascades]

Couldn't agree more. It's wonderful to know people like Jon do this. And you and I can enjoy it. Reminds me of an old show from the 70s called Exploration Northwest. Old filming and narration, but served the same purpose. (Starred Don McCune).

[@bombadil776]

Two hours of rainy Friday bliss.

[@josephcecchini8875]

Perfect timing came home on a Friday evening after a stressful week. Made some dinner for my wife and I. Opened a bottle of wine and unwound to two hours of Lost Lakes.

[@cherylbarns-y4m]

Best tv ever! You are in your element out there. Just everything too beautiful. Those rocks were breathtaking. Loved the hare racing across the lake and the wolves. A gift from above. You know how to inspire us!

[@LostLakes]

Thank you so much!

[@everscheryl7180]

Wow, what a treat! Such a great video to kick off my spring break... the otter, the sound of the cracked ice sliding, and the wolves. So relaxing! Thank you!!! 🌲

[@slayshay_t467]

The fact that you got this many likes and subscribers but the Atik Ailesi family have like double or triple is beyond me!!!!. This is true genuine camping at its best . fully immersed in nature, not a technology or toys showing or advertising some type of RVs or items for bigger companies to make money off , no no this is true . This young man actually goes in out on his own dragging everything on his back he goes through so much to produce and share this piece of heaven with us.. and for that he deserves a lot more acknowledgment than this as well as support

[@BrownDogDays]

Your astrophotography is top notch! Really quite beautiful. Cheers!

[@dennisflaherty215]

Echoing some previous comments, you are a superb videographer and storyteller. I so appreciate you being your authentic self including your sense of awe and respect as well as your sense of humour. I love wolves. Thrilled for you for the blessing of your experience and the bonus of being able to share it. I have been fortunate to have been privileged with a few sightings in Prince Albert National Park, nothing nearly as intimate as yours. I find their howl to be primal. After an evening of being serenaded by them while out solo camping, even knowing they are typically harmless, I , too, have slept with the axe nearby. Aren’t we lucky to be able be in such mildly uncomfortable situations on occasions. Thank you so much!

[@LostLakes]

Truly appreciate that Dennis!

[@Oldfarmrehab]

By far one of your best trips you have recorded. My heart started racing as those wolfs came in.

[@425bigfoot7]

Thanks for another awesome video. Can’t wait to watch tonight with my wife.

[@gregsoto2679]

Thanks for bringing me winter. So missed. Another great trip report. You have a style and vibe that is like no one else doing this. Hard not to share your joy at seeing the wolves. Stunning. ❤

[@LostLakes]

Thanks so much Greg! 💚

[@joez1589]

Freaking epic! The wolves were majestic. The pike bite was awesome and I actually jumped in my seat a bit at the surprise strike. Great adventure and cinematography as per usual!

[@MaineWoods]

You are BY FAR the best outdoor camping, fire, food KZbinr hands down. Your use of music is well thought of and your use of it during the Never Cry Wolf moment was perfect.

[@LostLakes]

🙏🙏

[@raymondcava4669]

Your camera and drone perspective is fantastic. Your narration once again is spot on. I’m glad this was your best winter camp trip. Wildlife , Food , Equipment, Best of all the solitude.

[@marysincavage4864]

He SCORES! Great wolf siting! I could feel your excitement. Congrats!

[@bubbechutzpah]

Hearing your intro music just relaxes me so much. So glad you're out there living it. Thanks again for all you do

[@dkeener13]

you did a great job conveying this experience. I usually put stuff like this on to fall asleep, but I just stayed up late because was engaged with this trip from start to finish. I don't know that I've seen a better video from you, and really it's one of the better examples of this genre I've come across. I love the canoe trips, but this turned into a gem.

[@LostLakes]

Really appreciate that :)

[@NobleEndeavours123]

So many awesome wildlife moments in this video! Great moments, thanks for sharing them!

[@scotyfilms]

thankyou Jon for the spectacular moment your shared with those wolves. Once in a lifetime for most of us; if that.

[@TroyBourque-eh1er]

Agreed, do not cook in your tent during bear season. Even the “best” bears are unpredictable, they love to eat: carrion, jerry cans, skidoo seats….. and the fellas who sleep in grease laden tents.

For a brief moment there , I thought that I was watching a scene from "Cry of the Wild" ! That's the highest compliment I can pay you , your right up there with the best of them Jon . Brilliant piece of film-making , please keep up the good work !

Thank you so much!

[@lothilear]

I agree, that piece is so contemplative and beautiful - perfect for his montages and drone shots.

When u spend time alone,and all by yourself,your little amusement guy comes out to entertain you! And you start talking to plants and giving them names!

I'm in New Zealand and we have no bears here. So yeah, wintertime we have no bears to worry about. No snakes. Some venomous spiders but they're pretty rare. Love your hot tent set up.

[@LEBAROT]

God bless you man, pure pleasure watching this with my kids. Stay safe and greetings from Macedonia 🇲🇰

[@paulsden]

The drone footage adds a lot. Agree the wind blown snow is beautiful!

[@wills5047]

Incredible experience with the three Wolves!! Awesome video as always, Jon!! Happy trails!

[@amyrudolph1090]

Oh my gosh, so glad to hear somebody else who knows bears don't hibernate! 😄 Which is also why there is always the small chance they will wake up mid-winter. Sounds to me like you have the right attitude about it though. Don't need to walk around afraid, but keeping aware and exercising reasonable caution. Still loving your mix of beautiful cinematography, storytelling, and knowledge sharing 😊.

[@hazetheherd2214]

So good , I didn’t want the video to end !

[@m-bronte]

When you started filming the wolves, I was instantly shocked! it's just a very rare and special sighting see them..love it! In the years I've been hiking and camping in the western Rockies I have never encountered a wolf in real time. Beautiful!

[@captainawesome1597]

2hrs of expert level content and editing with our favorite creator...this is awesome!

[@ActuallyAndrewFishing]

Those wolves...wow. So special. Great job capturing that.

[@LeeInMaine]

Jon, those rocks were gorgeous! Sorry you lost your hat🫤. Love all of yours and Erin’s videos! Keep ‘em roll’n!

[@mebsweetncrazy]

I can honestly say I NEVER been as ecstatic to see another person get BACK to the thing/life-style they love most. My heart is so happy for you! I hurt my knee last summer when a really bad current/wave at the beach pulled my 5 year old into the ocean. She wasn't even knee deep but the "under pull" was so BAD it just swept her into the ocean. I almost drowned and twisted my knee tossing her back towards the shore to her dad. Since then my knee has turned purple AND its been inflamed a few times. Seeing your videos gives me hope that I will be able to walk miles and miles down the beach again someday. Thank you for everything you and Erin do!

[@nGuy1901]

So much beautiful photography in this one. I especially loved the moonset (@37:20), the melting snow (@53:26), the fire in the woodstove, and of course, the otter and the wolves. Thank you!

[@KDot_6]

Kept checking my notifications and finally , you posted . Cold night in NYC and this is my entertainment for the night. Love form NYC bro

[@ozlemholmes5856]

42:50 I could frame this. Great colors. Such an eye for detail, You’re an artist Jon. 👏 love your videos .

[@Runningoncoffee05]

Those wolves were gorgeous. How incredible to witness them in their own habitat! Yet another beautiful film, truly special.

[@paulhiebert382]

I carry bear spray out here in BC in the winter. Chances of needing it are maybe crazy slim, but it'll stop a desperate wolf or cougar just as well and they dont hibernate. having it on me could save my life and it is proven to work well below freezing still having said that, what an absolutely amazing encounter. I hear them howling all the time when Im out and see some huge tracks but never do i see them. not like that. Truly majestic. Jon, your journey's truly are the best. among other things, what sets you apart from other you tube bush campers is the time you spend focusing on nature and soaking up the atmosphere. not just filming camping chores and cooking. Love that too but your videos are so much more complete and literally fulfilling. Im sure you hear everyone say you are the best, and its true. :) now we just need to get you back in your canoe . :)

[@LostLakes]

Truly appreciate that! :) If the above average temperatures continue I'm hoping to be back in the canoe in just a few weeks

[@paulhiebert382]

Sweeeeeet !

Dude, you are lucky to be alive! That was no snowshoe hare: that was the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog! Death awaited you with nasty, big, pointy teeth! Glad you made it out alive! As always, love your video Jon!

[@gordthompson4664]

[@davehunt9817]

Jon, as always an awesome treat! You make this look so easy, and for the population that maybe do not camp, canoe etc. like we do, they may think by watching these videos that this is easy to do! I just wanted to highlight that the quality of the videos you are producing is a direct reflection of the hard work you put in to it. It's not easy and not anyone can do it. Keep up the great hard work, and keep the content coming. Cheers buddy, Dave from Newfoundland.

Thanks so much Dave!

[@jimt4906]

Nice Video. I love what you said about being the coziest man alive. I felt the way you felt many times. Love the Temress gloves. those are the best out there. I couple that with a pair of Possum down liners from Enlightened Equipment. Looks like you can beef up your harness. Mine came from an Army -Navy store and goes over the shoulders and around the waist. No more arm strain. Love that tent. What kind? I have a Tigris Hammock hot tent.

[@zaraedwards3355]

Brother. I spend allot of time solo in the Tahoe National Forest. No Grizzly, but large black bears galore. Your bear threat or thoughts and intuition are justified, but your kidding yourself if you think your can of spray and that axe are true protection. When you get back, go to a gun store and get a Glock 20 10mm handgun, an extra magazine pouch, two magazines, a gun belt and a holster. I wear mine all the time in the mountains and even put my bear stray on the gun belt as well. As for the ammunition, get yourself some special “hard cast” 10mm ammo. The best IMHO is Buffalo Bore 220 grain hard cast. Made specifically for large predator defense and hunting. The heavy bullet will crush even the thick skull and large joints of a griz and penetrate to kill. I think a handgun by your side will give you solid piece of mind that you can defend yourself in the back country. Not to mention the two legged vermin as well. Love the videos.

[@bluesoldierette]

He’s in Canada so I’m not sure he can.

[@58harwood]

No handguns allowed in Canada! Get a 12 gauge pump shotgun and learn how to use it blindfolded!

[@KarolM1964]

My favorite winter camping video of yours.. The wolves had me sitting up in bed with a huge smile on my face! What a fantastic experience seeing them and it's all on video for you and us to relive it. The otter was neat to see as well. The night sky photos were stunning. Thank you for taking us along!

[@kirkvoelcker5272]

That was a social call, a deliberate appearance for your benefit. They had already smelled you for days. If they regarded you as a threat one of the pack would have circled around without you knowing it. When the alpha stepped out and eyed you briefly I knew it was to let you know they accepted your presence in *their* territory-for now. Very definitely a Farley Mowat moment.

[@chrisgrayson3855]

I think your right. That big lad waited about 30 seconds then strutted out. Was clear he was so big…very special to catch it. As you said, they likely had been watching for a few days

Jon, thanks for another beautiful video and a peaceful trip into the Ontario wilderness. As an American it is so soothing to watch your videos in these turbulent political times with the most unfit person in American history run for president, the one who lacks an ounce of grace or class. So thank you for this escape.

Your eye for the tiniest details, the delicate beauty of the natural world...very enjoyable. Happy chickadees and nuthatches, reading the tracks in the snow, the moods of the north country.

Man there is nothing to say short of amazing!!! Funny that I am on down time due to a torn meniscus and waiting for surgery on May 2nd. You transported me from my house in south Louisiana to one of the most beautiful place. Your photography is awesome. I felt as though i was on the trip with you. The fishing catch and cook was awesome. You had me a little nervous when you were on the ice that was cracking. You had me in such a tranquil place. Thank you so much man for the experience. I wait on your next video. God bless you and your family. And as always safe travels.

[@LostLakes]

Thank you my friend! I was in the exact same boat this time last year. You've likely had it recommended many times, as I had, but the Knees Over Toes program seems to be the way to go. My knee is feeling great these days (most days) and I have no cartilage left in that knee after the surgery (it was too torn to be repaired). Walking backwards can be a great start. Stationary bike has also been good kzbin.info

@11:57 There are foldable/collapsable legs you can get for your candle to heat up your water. They are super light and worth the effort. I have also used homemade legs that worked just fine. I know it's not for making a meal, but there's nothing wrong with using the free heat while it's there! Thank you for another awesome video! 👍👍👍

I hope that the population growth for so many countries can be contained to the cities so that wilderness areas like these can always exist. Your camera work and editing is top notch and your capturing of the experience of sight and sound is second to none.

From the majestic birds to the smallest insect, your attention to detail is amazing, thank you for your perception and sharing.

This is truly an incredible documentary. Your filming, expression, presentation style is interesting, informative, humorous, and full of the natural wonderment of nature that we all have found in watching this Incredible Journey. Perhaps the Wolves found the trout, trailed you giving honor. As you mentioned they understand Power, yes, as we do. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, for listening to your inner voice.

[@Condor987]

What a phenomenal trip! Some of the most beautiful shots you’ve ever taken in this video. I know it feels like winter is ending early, but I couldn’t help but think it kind of feels like you’ve made it past the injury now. It was one thing to tackle a few trips in the canoe post surgery, but to conquer the next winter after injury… just felt like the official end to that chapter. It will impact you the rest of your life, but not quite like it did this last year both physically and psychologically. Well done, man. Well done. A toast to you with a glass of Talisker in hand!
