Man, that intro was hilarious. I loved your version of the trip through and through. It was fun to see the similarities and the differences between the edits and to watch the event unfold and be retold through your perspective. That pour at 41:58 had me cracking up for whatever reason. ohh man so many golden moments. Awesome to relive this one again! Thanks for the kind words, love yah brother, glad I could be a good partner! That ending was Gold :p Can't wait for us to get back out

[@LostLakes]

It was like I was trying to completely miss the cups 😂 So many laughs. Much appreciated brother, wishing we were back out there already...bring on an ice fishing trip!

[@Arbyofuchprawnage]

Im on to your vid next, it looks like you had some great perspectives on the trip too.

Xander only thought that those words of "My precious..." were coming from his ear phones. If only he knew, the real gollum was biding his time.... :)

[@bloodyeyeful]

The most magical thing in this video is seeing a friendship form. God Bless.

[@jenmurphy7777]

Love to see it!

[@LostLakes]

Had a bit of content constipation lately simply because I've been out there enjoying the paddling season and had very little time at home to edit. But we're about to drop a significant deuce of vids over the rest of 2021 so get your ocular TP ready. We've never had such a backlog of content. A few notes: 1) Long vid, there are chapters in the vid for each day if you want to break it up :) 2) Drone footage was captured at the access point, outside the park boundary. 3) Xander has a top shelf camera and I want to thank him for sharing some footage, particularly that incredible timelapse of the aurora. For his version of this trip and much more, see his channel here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6LOaYJ8rtesrsU 4) Special thanks to Brad Jennings for his map of this route (and others) and his dad Wayne Jennings for documenting their trip on his channel. The map and video were a big source of inspiration for this trip, linked here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5OUhmWApah3rsU

[@jasonreid611]

I really appreciate delivering this as a full episode as opposed to spreading it out over 3 or 4 weeks. Was really looking forward to this episode after seeing Xander’s. I think he’ll be buying a dry suit soon 👍. I watched it in spurts. Best 2 hour movie I’ll watch this month.

[@LostLakes]

Appreciate that Jason!! Definitely favour the long format now and don't think I'll use multi-part much anymore, if at all :)

[@pete332]

@@LostLakes Hey Jon, first off, GREAT trip buddy, & the chemistry (2 Sigma males) !! .. That was a great ride !!.. Thanks.. I love the long epics, but I think the short ones have their time and place.. I’m really sorry it took so long to see this one, (life gets in the way).. This one was real special Jon, in MANY ways.

[@miguelletain8822]

Loved the dynamic between you two. You guys definitely need to do another trip together in the near future

Greatly appreciate that Johnathon!! I recommend checking out Xander's channel too...so fast-paced you won't want to skip anything there either :)

[@TheCanadaman1]

Saw the time on this video and thought nah, i just skip through it. Two hours and 10 minutes later I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.

Been looking forward to this video.... nice start, with a couple of loons on the lake.... and the birdlife was nice too!! LOL.. ok, on with the show ;)

[@LostLakes]

😝😝

[@John-AEC]

​@@LostLakes This video did not disappoint... beautiful vistas,, astonishing wildlife ... I mean, here in the UK we have some wonderful wild parks, but nothing on the scale of North America... Also, the respect you show to the fish you catch to keep, or release, is first class... I'm so glad you and Xander finally got around to this trip, and hopefully, a bromance is in effect, enabling simple folk like me to live vicariously through your adventures.. I completely understand your 'bit of a loner' statement tho.... especially after these .... errmmm.. interesting times... But, Thank you Jon and Xander, from one homebody to another, you've created something special right here. Afterthoughts: 'you know any Italian?' .... 'That's a spicy meat-a-ball'. classic hehehe special appearance by Bon Jovi... dude, I was not ready.... ;)

Look forward to seeing more videos of both of you getting it in the backcountry. You two have a great chemistry.

Brother... that first image. You have no idea what memories it brings back! In 2010 I travelled across Canada on my bicycle by myself and I remember being so proud of myself when I came across that sign! (Yeah not complicated enough to do that so I figured I would pass by Ontario's northernmost roads and do it counter-wind since I like suffering apparently). Man just because of that you bet I will watch the whole thing from end to end! Thanks for making me feel so damn inspired by sheer coincidence! (Besides, I became a kayaker afterwards, had enough of the roads for a while!)

[@northstarnick8366]

WOW, WHAT.A.MOMENT!!! Congrats on your first woodland Caribou, Jon. That's one of those moments in life you never forget. Not sure if you guys in Northern Ontario share the same nickname, but in northeast Minnesota we call them the gray ghosts. The last known caribou pair disappeared from here in 1981. Since then, there have been only a handful of reported sightings. The last coming in 2004. Its a life's dream of mine to see a Woodland Caribou in the Wild. To say the least, I'm jealous, but so happy for you!!

[@LostLakes]

Thanks so much Nick!! I think I have heard that nickname before and it's quite perfect. Hoped for this moment many times and it was unforgettable. So sad to think that their range gets ever smaller. Someday this place could be the same as MN...a former home

[@northstarnick8366]

@@LostLakes Man, that is one sobering thought. The fact that wildlife is slowly disappearing before our eyes is pretty alarming. How humans have done so much damage in such a relatively short amount of time, is beyond my comprehension. Honestly... kind of makes me wonder if humanity is on a crash course to killing itself off.

The start of a beautiful friendship 😊

[@jimfromm3981]

Wow! The caribou coming out from the forest and spending just enough time posing in the warm light, was surrealistic. To me it felt like a hopeful prophetic vision. I love the north country in the late fall. The wind, dark clouds, late autumn on the trees, the absence of bugs, and the steely color of light, are constant reminders to bathe yourself in what is being offered because it will be gone tomorrow. The Aurora at sunrise, the wolves, moose, and bear, made this trip one I will watch many more times. By the way, the emerging friendship and cinematography is awesome.

[@LostLakes]

Greatly appreciate this Jim! It was a moment to savour...I know I'll never forget it. Could not have asked for more for my first caribou sighting, nor for this trip and the camaraderie :)
