Solo Hot Tent Camping in Snow - Peace and Quiet

[@LostLakes]

*1) Why no talking?* I didn't have time to talk on the first day...where I camped was a makeshift plan C for the day so it was a long one. With the original plan and backup plan going down the drain, all I could do was chill out in that spot so there wasn't much to say. But I've been wanting to record uninterrupted footage of a hot tent trip that I could do a "How To" hot tent video so I used this trip as a chance to get that footage. The "How to Winter Camp in a Hot Tent" video will be coming soon with voiceover *2) Why so short?* I would rather make long videos that give you long enough to get into them. But the footage dictates the pace and duration. My plans went down the drain and nothing happened...Not gonna drag this out for an hour

[@Go4TheGold369]

Sometimes you just have to listen…

[@jayfon1234]

This was absolutely wonderful, actually! I got quite giddy as soon as I realized this was gonna be hot tent ASMR. Seriously cool vibe. I hope you do more like this!

[@j-man2759]

You did a great job with filming . I felt like I was there setting up winter camp myself. It's the simple silence and alone time I enjoy the most out on adventures in the winter.

[@ianlindsey3616]

I love the variety and enjoy watching different footage.

[@RickshawMunky]

I thought the change up was good. Was different to listen to the sounds going on 👍

[@yumbugs3932]

This helped my 4 year old fall asleep. She said she likes your sweater and your food "even if it's a little burnt, I'm sure he won't mind"

[@LostLakes]

😆💚

[@XanderBudnick]

I really enjoyed the part where you said that thing about camping solo in the snow in a hot tent

[@LostLakes]

I told you not to put the Q-tips in so deep

[@TimAndyMik]

The voiceless story was no less s story, nor was the camera work diminished. If we actually didn’t talk to ourselves, then this is what camping is….the zip zop of our snowpants against the subtle winter soundscape. Loved it!!!

[@WestCascades]

Amongst all the negative comments about no talking, I'm glad to see you get it. I've camped for several days by myself and not uttered a word. It's kind of like vocally fasting. For me it certainly cleans my thinking.

[@LostLakes]

The "zip zop" lol...one sound we can't silence! Thanks so much!

[@LostLakes]

And thank you for the support GB! Really appreciate it. The internet is so reactive...it would be awesome if people said things like they were looking the person in the eye

[@vresor]

The landscape and raw winter speak for themselves. Cool video!

[@scotthillier1067]

The Sounds of camping in winter ! You absolutely captured it ! Loved it. Thank-you

[@pierreduranleau7840]

🌨Very cool. Like that long and slim toboggan. So peaceful. 🌨🌲🏕👍🙏

[@davidtapp3950]

You wont get much peace and quiet when you're married, buddy so make the most of it while you can. 😀 Absolutely gorgeous silent movie just before Christmas! Peace and health!

[@LostLakes]

😜😜 Thanks David!

[@RomanErokhin]

Thank you! Peace and quiet is what all of us need in these days...

[@jasonhammond4640]

I enjoy the quiet videos from time to time. It's very meditative.👍👍

[@deannaeagles212]

Thanks for sharing your "peace and quiet". Always enjoy your commentary, but totally got this!

[@LostLakes]

Thanks Deanna!

[@yragtgov]

Winter camping looks great with the right gear. Collecting fire wood is a warmer upper!

[@EudamoniaTrout]

Relaxing. Listening to the forest sure beats listening to the city.

[@michaeldoherty2289]

Peace and quiet. No narrative. I love it.

[@jeffvallentine913]

Your winter hot tent camp has become so refined, the word that describes it is comfortable, I'm not saying it doesn't require work to set up and maintain but you look very snug and relaxed. Your "how to" video will be a master class on this style of winter camp. Really nicely done. The absence of dialouge is definitely a less is more effect in this video.

[@LostLakes]

Thanks so much Jeff! Still learning lots but definitely come a long way since our early struggles

[@hampusljungblomjulin9628]

Hi Jon! Hampus from Sweden here. I just want you to know how much your videos mean to me. They are the perfect combination of beautifully filmed nature and fantastic company. They’ve really got me threw this rainy and stressful autumn. Thank you so much for that, looking forward to more winter camping videos!

[@LostLakes]

Appreciate that so much Hampus 💚 Autumn can be mentally hard as it is...brighter days ahead :)

[@DriversofOttawa]

This was like a Lost Lakes episode in the style of Erik Normark - nice to change it up once in a while.

[@ronlagerquist9163]

i was actually distracted by the quality of the editing. It was magical. I picture you behind a computer cutting for hours. I guess that's because I have tried my hand a little at this. The video quality is impressive. The editing is mastery. Poetry is cutting everything down to just enough for the watcher to fill in the blanks with their own personal experiences with wilderness. Thank you for all the work you do on this. If you had a membership I would join to help support this channel that has brought me so much joy.

[@LostLakes]

Appreciate that so much! 💚

Aw miss you too ❤️❤️

[@georgepravi814]

Hi there! The power of such videos is that even with the eyes closed you still get the tranquility you need! i lke watching skillfull people like you being able to survive through rough weather conditions! greetings from Greece!

[@TripleG69]

Absolutely loved the silent video. It's so nice to be able to hear nature and natural sounds like chopping wood or the sizzle of the snow dropping on the stove. Can't stand all the bs some people feel they need to spew out and quoting or acting movies scenes.Thanks for something different and refreshing.

[@LostLakes]

You mean like when I quote movie scenes? 😶 But thank you

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

My 90 year old mother enjoyed going for a walk with you in the winter woods this morning Jon! This was special to her since she can no longer do it herself as she use to enjoying her younger years . Thanks Jon! 😃

[@LostLakes]

💚💚💚

[@jayboogie27]

Well done! This was very peaceful. Something about the quiet made me feel like I was in the woods with you.

[@bigsky2081]

Absolutely fantastic!!!! I think that is the first time I've seen you use a Crazy Creek chair, a great relief for those long winter nights in the tent. Really well done, Thank You.

The 1st 5 minutes of this video was so serene and soothing. It was a nice change and just so well done.

Nothing more cozy than a hot tent

[@Memorex88]

I've never been winter camping but the sound of those two trees rubbing drop me right back to this summer's camping trip. Thank you for your videos!

Thanks very much Con!

[@maxwellcameron2159]

Nice video Jon. As a long time watcher since the start of the channel I love when you film a quiet episode. One of my favorites is still the quiet footage on Superior with all the underwater footage and sounds of the water. Cool to have a winter episode of solitude.

Thanks a lot Max!

Go figure, -8C here tonight. Wind. Not sure the new house will stand the strain. Will know when the night is over and the Texas sun has it's way. The hot tent is so inviting. Never thought to use my toboggan to haul my gear when I was a kid?

Dang...that's got to be tough when infrastructure is made for heat. Hope all is well in the morning!

Erik, I can't seem to remember how we previously got in touch (maybe it was FB or Instagram and I had to shut down my inboxes there) so I hope you'll see this. We got your package in the mail (which I'm sure cost a fortune to ship, not to mention produce) and we are so touched! Truly a beautiful gesture and so nicely framed and everything with your note. Can't thank you enough my friend...you are too kind. It made our day 💚💚💚
