What a way to start this season. Cannot wait to see more of you two. I mean, Xander is okay, but Erin rocks!

[@janm2473]

I know,,,, Xander's cute and all, but Erin rocks, as you say. :). This was so fun.

[@DiverFPL]

Got an exam tomorrow and saved this all day to watch it at bedtime. Such a beautiful video it would almost bring a year to the eye! Although that might be exam delirium at play.

[@LostLakes]

Hahah good luck!

[@XanderBudnick]

RIP 1975 - 2022

[@ToughCanadian]

He had a good life but it's time for us to begin the mourning process.

[@LostLakes]

We ran into a local trapper there and he's since informed me that wolves have found your carcass. They will not eat it. He says they have defecated all over it. Some of that might be mine tho. RIPoopoo

[@canadiangirl8368]

@Xander Budnick for having a better comment than anyone else! Also when are we getting a winter camping video with @Lost Lakes including Erin? Inquiring minds what to know how that would go! 🤣

[@LostLakes]

@@canadiangirl8368 you mean like this video?? Lol

[@canadiangirl8368]

@@LostLakes Well Shit. I have finals brain happening, final semester of school and beer......I have the dumbs. I had to go back and rewatch to make sure he didn't show up in the video. You and Erin are hysterical.

[@bigjgordon]

Jon - I only just found your channel a week ago and I have been mainlining your videos ever since. I was born and raised in NWO and we moved to north of Toronto when I was 17. I’ve missed it every single day of my life since and I can’t seem to get back often enough. Your videos give me a sense of calm and longing all at once and I want to thank you and Erin for every minute of content you put out. Your combined passions for the life and each other are inspirational. I am envious of you both, and until I can semi retire and get back to the north, I will patiently wait for your next video to get my fix. Thank you both! (Full disclosure - I copied and pasted this from another video - just in case you didn’t see it. Cheating, I know, but I had to do it😬)

[@LostLakes]

Hahah funny enough I literally replied to it within the same minute! Thanks again man, I really do appreciate it 💚

[@bigjgordon]

@@LostLakes Patience was never my strong suit! If a person wanted to send you a couple of custom fishing lures out of nothing other than pure gratitude for the pleasure he gets from your content, how might he go about it? Obviously I wouldn’t expect you to publish your address, but maybe there’s a way to PM somehow?? Anyway, thanks for the reply. Twice!😉

You'll have some fantastic vids to watch.

Welcome aboard.

[@frederickmoller]

My best friend and his friend slept in a Pup tent in the early 1970s up here in Timmins, in -40 degree temps. the only thing that saved them was their Woods top of the line sleeping bags and the outside camp fire, and oh the pot that they had to smoke, both weren't drinkers lol. Something that I would never do, I'm not that brave.

[@adamsmith3996]

The northern mad splitter is at it again !

[@christophercosentino5736]

In the first seconds of your opening (this video), I appreciate the honesty. with regards to others, make a big Hollywood scene trekking through the woods, and the car is 50ft away. back to watching the rest of it.

[@LostLakes]

Yeah just some...it can be pretty obvious sometimes when they hike in with a backpack and yet have a car load of gear :)

[@beacee]

I think winter camping videos are my favorites. It’s the beauty and tranquility we all strive for. Once again thanks for taking us along!

[@Dune24]

Great video! I'm more of an environmentalist than an experienced outdoorsman, but I look forward to every video you upload! The moose fight was incredible and love how real it was. Not dramatized for views or anything. Been watching at least a year and a half and I've seen so much amazing content and learned so much! Keep up the great work.

[@LostLakes]

I appreciate that so much Dan!

[@bartrobertson8444]

Love the drone videos and the times you and Erin spend together. Thanks.

[@Vanwowen]

RIP Xander, will miss your duo trips. But I get that you had to do it.... Great Video! Recently started watching the channel because of the banter in your cross-over videos :D

[@pierre-marcwilliams3100]

Hi Erin and Jon! Just wanted to share with you how fortunate I feel to have randomly stumbled upon your channel a few months ago. Over time, you've become an important part of my daily routine, some kind of escape from the urban chaos and noise that surrounds me. Keep up your amazing work! You manage to capture the beauty and remoteness of Canada's backcountry perfectly in each and every one of your videos. Cheers from Quebec!

[@LostLakes]

I feel your pain and that means a lot Pierre-Marc 💚💚

[@blazerprophet]

You two play off each other so well. Fun to watch.

[@Will-kc7rx]

This has quickly become my favorite channel! Absolute quality content with no BS. Truly appreciate your dedication and all the hard work that goes into keeping it going. Born in the Adirondacks but have moved South for work, not quite Canada to be sure. Your channel brings back lots of great memories. Much appreciated.

[@LostLakes]

We really appreciate that 💚

[@CJ-ot7ct]

Seems with all that is going on in the world when I look for Lost Lakes and see a new video the calmness comes over me. Keep doing what u are doing it is amazing.

[@clintgilchrest1019]

First time watching.... looks like y'all had a good time.... snow makes everything seem so peaceful....

@LostLakes, omg, I almost spit my coffee out when Erin said see ya later Xander! Great video and love to see the laughter.

[@scottseverythingoutdoors462]

Canadians make good use of mother nature no matter the season. Enjoying God's beautiful creation.

[@wallyklw5]

Glad Erin is back. Had enough Xander.😮

[@LostLakes]

Now now, we need a steady diet of both of them

[@justdrop]

My family in Virginia taught me to chop wood like Erin did in this video. Gotta admit that when I watch these, I got kind of self-conscious that I was taught wrong all those years ago but it's nice to see someone else do it too. Thank you for your videos.

[@jocarroll2669]

I'm a new Subscriber Just watching tonight thank you I have a little bit of problem getting outside Now I can just sit back and watch yours thank you

Thanks Jo :)

“See ya later, Xander”. Nearly spat my drink out.

[@ericwalker3459]

Thank the both of you. It brought a smile to my face when I really needed one. Thanks

[@CaptianMoePedro]

As someone who's trying to get into winter camping, I never once thought about camping near your car as a "just in case" to test new gear. I have so much new gear and was trying to think of a safe way to test it and get used to using It and this seems like such a good idea! P.S Bought a sweater and some stickers and convinced my college club to get into your channel too!

[@LostLakes]

Best to ease in :) Aw thanks so much my friend! 💚💚

[@maddmusician4492]

Look at the channel growing 💯

[@Myn6211]

That is one awesome tent. I really like how they've done the tie outs with the rods and not having to have a pole in the middle is a huge benefit. So much easier to manouever in the space. Great tent, great video.

[@billshipley8599]

Erin's look was priceless when you put that whole slice of bread in your mouth.

[@MrHarryson1985]

Nice to see Erin out!

You 2 are cute together. Made me smile trying to chug that soup 🤣 Love your videos!

[@Hockyplyr10]

Just the night before, Sunday night I was watching your video of when you and Erin making squash soup or stew haha I said to myself can't wait for a new hot tent video of you 2 and sure enough you post one today which is awesome. All the new equipment looks great and look forward to more videos!!

[@LostLakes]

Hahah the squash........ Thank you!

Dang it, I put this video on to relax before bed and within the first minute you’ve got me laughing 😆 Thank you so much for sharing this trip with us.

[@cliffordwright342]

Jon you are going to love your new gear. I had the same tent and sled for quite awhile until I got sick but I gave them away to someone who could use them. Great stuff. One thing I did do was unzip the front and clipped a very clear plastic sheet in the opening so I could look out when I was in the tent. Looking forward to seeing more winter camping

[@sd-ov7dy]

Just discovered your channel last week. I am amazed..the trips you are taking, the awe inspiring landscapes are beyond description. Ineffable grandeur.....with a hint of loneliness. I watch every night and even occasionally think about the videos at times during the day. I have seen nothing else on line that comes close to the magnificent visual content, or your techniques of bringing the viewer along the trail, into the scenes and even into a sense of conversation. The only camping I do is motorcycle trips. This is all new. Very cool. Thank you for sharing.

[@LostLakes]

Truly appreciate that!

[@chelseanyland]

I love the "another stove" callback 😂. I only started watching your channel relatively recently, and hadn't yet come across any videos of you and Erin. I loved watching the patience & joy of the two of you camping together. Can't wait to see more!

[@patrickbenoit5495]

Yeah !!!!!!! finally you got rid of Budnick !!! THX 😂😂

[@LostLakes]

😜 I could never

[@V.EngagingLife]

Jon and Erin, nice to see you both having a blast with your sweet set up, yummy food, chugging attempts and of course the gorgeous scenery and animals. I was completely wowed by the bulls even from afar. Thank you for bringing us along on your adventures. Your videos make my life so much more meaningful as a Canadian and nature lover who can’t get outside like before. Referring folks to your channel- my favourite nature channel on KZbin, continues. 💯🌟’s 💚❄️

[@barbarawalberg1520]

Cool Moose shots. Your tent looks way more practical!

[@LostLakes]

Definite upgrade

[@Chris4]

As much as I love all of your videos Jon, it's really the winter videos that I enjoy the most. I'm envious of the hot tent, but I'm looking forward to more winter trips, ice fishing, cold weather camping etc. As soon as the ice is in here, I've got an overnight winter ice fishing trip planned.

[@LostLakes]

Lots more of that to come :)

[@MHarenArt]

Sweet setup. Nice to see Erin again too

[@lonewolfe5129]

I loved the humor in this video - I don't think they'll find Xander's body for a while! BTW, it looks like he's gained some weight I like the new tent. Any concern about the snow build-up on the 'pull outs' on the sides and back of the tent? Looking forward to many winter camping trips.

[@dougarrowsmith6088]

Even before Erin said "see ya later Xander" I half expected him to pop out of the bag.

Thanks Doug!

[@robintheoutside]

Loved the intro, we knew Xanders antics would get under your skin sooner or later. It is a shame though, we were hopinng to get one more hunting video out of him. RIP. The moose joust was awesome, we could only drream of getting to see that live. Interested to see how the new toboggin pulls in deeper snow with all that weight and if walking with snowshoes in front of it will cut enough of a path or if the smaller sled would have to go first. Great to see Erin out with you again! Thanks for sharing guys. Cheers, Rob & Sabrina

[@chrisblack8390]

Great video. Beautiful drone footage. Moose were cool. Thanks guys

Amazing love your content you do such an awesome job and I love Erin's sense of humor. My family used to have a cabin no electricity no running water on Diamond Lake and we would go up every year I fell in love with Canada it's so beautiful sadly I have not been able to go back since childhood so your videos mean so much to me as those were always the best time of my life so it brings me peace to watch your videos. Lol I remember bathing in the lake before sundown as you didn't dare go out after dark lol and no out house so dig a hole and at night if you had to go it was a bucket and the wood stove sigh I loved it all we were smack dab in the woods with grizzlies all around they did leave us alone but man some nights were nerve wracking again thank you so much for bringing peace to me.

We love to see Erin and Jon camping together! Winter is indeed the most cozy time of year to camp...the colder the weather, the more cozy it can be! The window is a nice touch to be able to watch the snow fall, or see the stars, from the comfort of a hot tent! You're going to be able to build a hot tent city soon enough with all of the gear you're acquiring 😉
