I started out slow on this channel. Now I'm addicted.
I know me to...I'm like trying to move on...but cant...lol Bless
It's a vibe of its own isn't it? So relaxing!! I love the videos..lots of good work goes into good UA-cam channels with narration and getting and editing so many hours of footage and just the work alone with the trips.
I stumbled onto lost lakes last fall, as way to get away from working in the ICU after traveling to CA had been closed so long. I became quickly addicted thereafter. His videos are really films so artfully shot and such incredible scenery and, wildlife, fishing, night-sky's, Nlights etc. It's hard to beat Jon's ability to capture N.Ont's beauty.
The entire time watching i am thinking where do you shower??😅😅😅
@@ladanmoharer648 you hang the shower on the sky hook.
I guess I'm nuts but between the Budniks, Bairds, and Lost Lakes I just can't seem to get enough of Canadians canoeing and camping. Beautiful again Jon, thanks for the work!
Those are my top three too :p
same I got a few english ones as well, but I love Jon's long style of filming it feels like I'm on a trip.
If you're nuts then I guess I am too, love these videos........I'm recently retired, turn 60 next month, and will be able to spend more time in my canoe and doing some tripping as well, just not real remote like Budnik and John, but tripping none the less. My canoe is a Old Town Discovery 169, so portaging is not something I'll be able to really do with the shoulder issues I have.
You aren't nuts, well maybe we both are-
Don’t forget about Xander!!!!!
I love your content man. You seemingly take a plain, ordinary vlogumentary into a wholesome experience. You know how to just talk enough, but not too much to the point I’m already on to the next video in my scroll feed. You can tell when people do this for the views, and those who do it for the love of doing it. Whatever it is that’s being done, you’re there; in the moment.
You captivated that here perfectly. Congratulations on your success, Sir. Keep living.
Truly appreciate that Matthew!
@@LostLakes Anytime man! Oh, and just for a fyi, the Potomac River that runs through the northeastern states has a crazy amount of species of fish and plenty of places to camp. It doesn’t exactly match your forte, but I live in Maryland and the Potomac river always has something to offer. In case you’re every nearby. Cheers
Lost Lakes, this is breathtaking and I'm not even finished watching! Hard to believe one can find such beautiful cinematography, for free, on UA-cam. This man deserves so much more and substantially more subs! This is not merely a video, this is a film.
Thank you so much!!
@@LostLakes no, seriously, thank you. I wish I could do more than just leave y'all a comment... Like bring you a few million subscribers!! You both work very hard to bring so much joy to so many! If only I had a magic lamp...
@@jt0mi 💚💚
@@LostLakescertainly well deserved!
I'm 52 and stuck in Florida. Would make a deal with the Devil to be up there with you! 😂
Absolutely wonderful content! This is absolutely escapism for me. So stressed out nowadays with everything i got going on but when I'm watching I imagine I'm hanging with you. Your cinematic eye is beautiful enough to easily imagine being there!
Very appreciated! ❤👍
Yes! I've been saying that for years now! Perfectly said.
Always the philosopher. Not too many people do what you do. I'm so glad you bring us along to experience the wild places you crave so much.
BEAUTIFULLY done as usual. You truly have a way of making your videos look like a National Geographic Documentary. Your talent is unbelievable. I so love your videos.
Thanks so much Sally :)
I agree! So talented. This channel is a gift.
I know, right?? and going back to the beginning, you can watch him start to getting good at doing them.
Yes I agree wholeheartedly 🙏 I can't get enough of Jon's video's ❤
I like your solo trips, they really are calming and allow the viewer to just, simply, enoy the scenery.
I’m in my 60’s now. Bad back, bad shoulder-but when younger I spent 15 years traversing the BWCA and the Quetico throughout all areas of the parks, with kids, spouse, groups, and many solos. Your videos bring me back with so much reality-I’m reliving those trips. Now you’ve got me wondering if I might try another solo trip despite my current injuries.
Love these video documentaries, thx for the time invested in creating these!
Yes. Thanks for the time and effort.
I couldn’t agree more. As a Minnesota native and also had many trips in the BWCA it brings me back there as I now currently reside in south Florida.
I think I'm in the same boat as you, Wally. While not so lucky to be in BWCA vicinity. I have been fortunate to paddle a few of the rivers in N. central ONT and loved every minute. Watching his trips so makes me want to get out there and do it again. Now that I'm semi retired, I think I'm ready to trade in my FourWinns for a nice 17 royalex and go back to these last areas of pristine wilderness.
In my early 60s too and I just started solo trips 3 years ago. Had a knee replacement this year and I definitely will be back out next year. Jon’s videos keep the dream alive for me. Just give it a try. If you can’t portage do paddle in sites. Better than sitting at home.
Nobody does it better. Thanks for taking us on another trip.
I don't know how you can go to so many remote places alone. You have nerves of steel! However, I really appreciate that you bring us along with you.
The Scotch has to help !!!!😂😂😂
Man, what a trip....the bit with Northern lights and early morning ( day 7-8, what a 24hrs.)...I couldn't stop smiling and it brought me to tears....absolutely bloody amazing.....thank you so much.....👍👍👍🏴🏴🏴🍺🍺🍺
As always I enjoyed the solitude, the magical beauty, the wildlife, the fishing, the photography. Thank you for this wonderful experience, John.
Qualty audio with quality sounds of silence that everyone should experience! Well done again. Keep doing what you love.
I am an avid outdoorsman who works a pretty mundane desk job, still I trek the wilderness when I can so I have to live vicariously through channels like this when I have the urge and right now the desire for that commune is burning hot within my soul. I long for the healing of spirit and mind that comes with an existence unburdened by the bombarding of my senses, if only for a few days out of a year.
I feel ya man, been there. Keep making time for those escapes as often as you can
Jon, you are legend. Thanks again for stirring memories in an old man.
Thanks for bringing me along on another fantastic journey. Happy the strength is coming back .🇨🇦
Amazing barred owl! 10:45
I have no idea how I got to this channel but iv never slammed my finger on the sub button so fast… relaxing, interesting content, editing is perfect, and intelligent commentary.. love it! Cheers from Ottawa, Ont ✌🏻🇨🇦
Much appreciated!
Your cinematography is so impressive to say the least. To have the mindset while doing everything else that involves camping does not go unnoticed from this viewer.
Actually your's and Xander's Videos wetter our appetite for fall and winter trips, which is unheard of where we live. We do it now for 4 years. Thank you again
Absolutely stunning! Thanks for sharing this experience. That foggy morning was insane! I totally resonate with your thoughts on solitude, thanks for putting it to words so eloquently.
Thank you so much :)
You should make a gallery of your pictures from the trips. You and Xander take great shots of nature.
your drone shots make the boreal look so vast and unending; thanks for another awesome video Jon
It sure is a great day when a new video from Lost Lakes hits the feed. This is beautiful and so contemplative. Might be one of the best shot videos yet Jon. Great film!
The relaxed pace of your journey along with your focus on providing the viewers with excellent videography have really created a masterpiece here. Amazing attention to detail. One of your all time best creations! You keep getting better and better. Thank you!
Much appreciated!
Seeing that Snow Jet brought back memories of the 70s and 80s when there were about 24 different brands of snowmobiles. Now there are only 3 or 4. That Snow Jet must 45 or 50 years old. This expedition you recorded was just amazing. I hope people watch your video 100 years from now and get a taste of what it was like now.
Thank goodness a new Lost Lakes!🎉🎉🎉
Jon, I hope you and Erin have had a great fall. I haven't watched the video yet, so I'm not sure if you've mentioned it, but I assume you've either been married or will be soon.
Congratulations to two fine people. Thank for all you do! I needed this 1hr 45 min of peace to look forward to.
Rented a cabin in the woods. Watching this in my bunk...
One of the most beautiful videos I have ever watched. Really gorgeous being surrounded by that landscape in such solitude with the music of Nature: birds, wind, rain, the waves of the lake…and those blissful sights of the northern lights, the darkness of a storm coming up…A huge feeling of gratitude for being granted such an experience.
This is exactly how I want to spend my Friday night, great premiere!! All I am missing to make this evening legendary are some Doritos and craft beer. Another phenomenal video. Tell Erin “hi” :)
Wow is right, transported to a beautiful place, thanks again.
Man, if the pictures couldn’t do it justice, Wabakimi must’ve been truly amazing. Your sweeping vistas of the vast north woods from the drone really accentuate the solitude. Here’s to peanut butter and honey.
I know you probably hear it a lot, as you should... but what an amazing video. I find a lot of calmness and tranquility watching your life.
I know I've personally said this before, but there is not one other channel that I can watch for an hour plus, and not catch myself looking away or distracted by my phone while watching. You have a way of dragging us in and keeping us engaged. Keep it up, I know it isn't easy work. It certainly doesn't go unnoticed.
Thanks for sharing. I had a rough week mentally. This video alone helped out with that.
Ah Jon Look at you go!!!! I have watched you almost from your start and knew you would grow your channel. You have all the insight and qualities and talent to make your channel a huge success. In my life I was blessed to have a generational link to Temagami and can say your videos bring me to my connection with our great land. Thanks for being silly and witty and fun to watch. Our Canadian UA-camrs are Rockin it !❤🇨🇦
Thank you so much!!
Another great video from Jontario, a.k.a. Troutslayer420
This one gave me the Emotional Shiver ✅️
I'll have something good to watch tonight 🔥🐟🛶👍🐠
Hi Jon, watching you you tube channel has inspired me to do something similar. I am about to buy a 17 ft Nova Craft and start doing some solo trips around New Zealand and do something like you are except here in my own land and it should be a load of fun, I am 67 years old retired and have the time to do so. So once I get started I will give you a link to my channel, thank you for giving me the inspiration.
I cannot wait, I saved the two most recent trips for tonight since I am off and I will be binge watching both with food 😮💨
1:03:00 is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen, and with the music. I could just sit out there all night and find myself under that sky. Man what a beautiful world we live in
Back in '91 I and four other guys drove as far north as you could go in Ontario to a place called Rat Rapids and rented a couple of boats. Spent a week camping on Lake Osnaburgh and caught a lot of fish and never saw a mosquito. It was miraculous.
I know what I'm doing next summer
We call esters “mooseback’s” here in Nova Scotia. They run for many km’s. Makes for great trails of hard ground as it’s usually swampy on either side.
Glad the knee is holding up Jon!
I'm watching the catch and release, looking at Robin and we're both laughing and drooling. Lol, great video especially the northern lights. I haven't seen them since the early 60's. Thanks for sharing.
John this is incredible work. Your production value is increasing everyday. Beautiful footage of ontario.
This channel is unmatched. Bravo 👏🏻
Thank you so much!
Fantastic! So glad to see that your knee rehab has gone well. Looking forward to your next adventure! Cheers 🍻
Absolutely beautiful shot you got on the calf and the cow. Their reflection on the lake when they walking next to it was just the best.
Another awesome adventure! The northern lights were amazing, but the “wow” moments on the foggy morning…no words. Thanks for sharing this with us!!!
I my youth and throughout my career I spent many years in the forest and rivers of Michigan and Canada as a Ranger with the Department Of Natural Resources . I am a old man now , you have brought back so many fond memories.Thank you .
You are the best remote travel vlogger and enthusiast!
It gives me comfort to see you back with a bottle of spirits. I was worried about you there for a while. All the best.
Many, many thanks Jon for allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the hard work that goes into making these for us. Much love and respect, and another amazing trip!!!
Truly your best masterpiece…..all of it ….I’m jealous, happy, sad and eternally grateful for this little slice of heaven…..your film making is just amazing, I love how some of the shots you took aren’t centred in frame but off to the side, creating a different perspective of what you’re portraying….love it….my three favourite shots are - that little bird in the jack pine, you could see it’s breath - the shot of the 3 loons in the bay near the end of the video, a fair sized fish breached ( wonder if anyone noticed lol) - my favourite was the shot of you going out early and you had the wherewithal to set up the camera on shore to capture you paddling by with the sun rising….epic….glad you got out….glad the knee held up ….glad you enjoyed some fish….but mostly glad you enjoyed some inner peace….great memories….great trip….all the best
Very much appreciated SSW! That rusty blackbird's breath struck me too and good catch on the breach...you're winning my little easter egg hunt :)
I liked what you read out of the book you were reading about loneliness. It's funny, your videos always provide something that is much needed for me at the time. The video as always, a joy to watch. Wonderful shots. I think you have found your calling...because no one's videos come close to yours. I think the things in the book that you connected with are signs that YOU are on the right path fulfilling your destiny. Thanks once again for taking us along. ❤
Thank you so much Mary! :)
So glad you got to enjoy that BiG storm!!! In 38 years of living in Cleveland Ohio. Storms are my favorite part of living this far north! Besides winter & Snow! I love winter so much!!!
Also
..... About being alone! I know that feeling all 2 well! But seeing the pics at the end of your post! Somehow gave me a good feeling! Like maybe i can find a activity that i can enjoy like you enjoy doing what you do! Thanks 4 being you brother!!! much love from Cleveland Ohio!
Your videos never disappoint. They’re so informative and educational. Thank you for sharing this video.. amazing scenery with your camera and drone. It’s obvious that you do your research for your trips that’s why they are so great. The aerial views enable your viewers to experience something they’ll probably never have the opportunity to see.
Thanks so much Rebecca!
@@LostLakes thank you for sharing your videos!
Magical trip. Thanks for bringing us along.
I never knew what to comment and say until now- you’re an amazing writer. ✅
Brilliant after a long week at work very relaxing
Thanks for taking us along again Jon. Another beautiful soul soothing video. I wonder if you are able to grasp how deeply you touch us with your art. You’re not just another UA-camr Jon. You’re an artist. Thank you. ❤
💚💚
As always this is about to be an absolutely masterpiece
Beautiful. Loneliness is truly how we learn to know ourselves ❤
Wow, you can always turn photographer. I love many shots of the lake and the aerials!!! Thanks for sharing.😊
Living the dream Jon!
Another peaceful trip in nature !!!!
You did it again, Jon. Another trip, another home run. I'm happy to hear your knee held up even if the portages weren't too strenuous. And your photography was top-notch. The northern lights vignette with the music you set it to was truly magical and the shot of your silhouette and the lights reflecting in the water was worthy of a top, professional cinematographer. I could have watched that for hours. Now that the fall season is turning to winter, I suppose you'll be do some deep winter trips again. I enjoy those but not nearly as much as the summer/fall trips that truly show off that unimaginable far north country you guys in Canada are blessed with. Peace, brother.
Thank you so much Larry!
That's the real world for sure Jon! I used to live on the edge of the Boundary Waters. I had to retreat back home and move in with family because of health issues. Your videos take me back to what I miss so much! Thanks for sharing and keep up the brilliant work!
What a superb video. Super chilled presentation coupled with the stunning beauty of the lakes. The Northern Lights were amazing. Thanks for sharing.
❤ THANK YOU, this was AMAZING, the music perfect, I've never seen the Northern Lights in real life, that must almost give a sense of awe from our creator!
I have really enjoyed it!!!❤
God bless from the netherlands
I’m so happy after watching this. These videos and your personality always center me, and give me a few hours of peace before the world gets shitty again. Thank you Jon!!
Wonderful video Jon.
Excellent! Once again, you have provided Liz and I with a great evening of your adventures. You have such a beautiful country. I'm envious, although many people think I live in Canada when I say the Upper Peninsula! Thank you so much, and thank you for working Mike into your trip. T&L
Thanks so much you two! Thoroughly enjoyed Mike's book and it was surreal the be reading that part of the book which took place where I was camped...cannot fathom the odds
And the views keep climbing ....👍
He has a gift to draw people in. We love watching his videos .
I hope he never gets a fat head and always stays humble.
Fame has a way of killing the sweet and humble.
Thank you! :)
How wonderful, an epic adventure for sure. What an interesting dream at the start Jon. There's so much there. Thanks for sharing.
So Good To See You Jon. Another Camping Adventure. Super Pumped To Watch This. Amazing Wildlife Mama Moose And Calf.
So glad you are back. I know you have been back a little while but I just thought I would say it again.
Those Northern Lights gave me chills.
Once again, I'm grateful for a wonderful video experience from you! Thank you so much. You put the calm in the groove at the end of the week.
What a great adventure. Thanks Jon. Fantastic scenery and photography. Would be wonderful to make our way up to Canada one day. Cheers from AUS.
Wow, it’s awesome to see you well and in your happy place! You have been through so much since February, it saddens me to know horrible it must have been.
Years ago I had a “Locked Knee”. On crutches for six months. Tried everything and everyone.
Then one AM while brushing my teeth, BOOB, this pop, and it was unlocked. Simply a miserable six months! I’m so glad you are well again!!
Finally a new solo adventure! Nice to hear "checkmate" again! I became a bit addicted to the song when it was included in one of your previous productions.
Another epic adventure, Jon! thank you so much for bringing us along. Your videography and photography are exceptional and draw us in with you. I'm glad your knee is doing better. Best wishes to Erin.
The time you put into capturing all these angles is crazy but amazing🔥.. Inspiring for future creations
You’re the man Jon! The further away from Xander the better! 😂
😝😝
I saw that you got some negative feedback on your engagement video. I thought it was very charming and pleased that you wanted to share your happiness with us. Congtatulations.
Where did you see the engagement video?
Much appreciated! Internet can be nasty but most people are very kind, like yourself :)
Here it is :)

Please name your new Canoe JON
Missed you on here with Jon, even though you hate him, yall are good together!! LOL
Hey man! Been watching your videos for a while now, and ive dropped a couple comments here and there to make suggestions. Im so impressed with your ability to capture the soul of our region in northern ontario so well. If you are ever looking for a good adventure this winter you are always welcome here in northeastern ontario. Spanish forest would fit your channel perfectly. One of the oldest red and white pine forests in the entire world. Cheers!
This video is some of your best work. Love the scenery at 1:01 - 1:07, my absolute favorite. You really do a great job showing Canada's beauty. Keep it going!
Your channel brings my inner camping and adventurous soul peace!
I feel like you have a lifeline to those adults who’ve been truly shaped by the fire that is camping in the wilderness! Going on adventures and not knowing your destination. And also using lots of tents common sense and your natural surroundings for food shelter (help anyhow) and warmth. Love it!!! I camped almost 30 years now right across from the East Branch of Presque Isle Springs… you must know that it makes quite the trek from upper Wisconsin thru UP into Superior!
Love it! Huge Beavers huge dragonflies and a great long sidewinder of a canoe trip to Sandborn Lake! One of my favorite adventures. God Bless you! And may you continue finding more Lost lAkes!!
Good Canadian northern water going in your mouth while Planters peanuts were falling down my throat was good enough to say good show bro.
This one is a masterpiece. You are an amazing talent.
My name is Leah… I’m a Lost Lake-aholic 😵💫
Your videos are absolutely incredible. Please keep ‘em coming!
You should take snapshots, or stills, of some of that beautiful scenery and sell the digitals.
I loved the way you had the tip of the canoe facing that absolutely amazing tree line! What a shot that would be! Imagine that on a metal print!
Just sayin’ 🤷🏼♀️
Best videography I've seen for these type of camping videos. Got a new favorite channel
Thanks so much Dave!
@LostLakes We are loving the new format. Love the wild life videography. Especially the attention to the smaller specimens. Please don’t stumble again carrying you canoe. Heart in mouth moment. Jon when you drank the unfiltered water whilst out in your canoe, I thought about what we do caravanning around Australia. And the idea originally came from your channel. It’s the LifeStraw but mounted in a drink bottle. Much more practical that the original LifeStraw you showed on one or your eps. All the best. Hope you recovery continues well. No commercial affiliation with LifeStraw.
Good to see you John..I know about the knees...walking sticks might come u. Handy
What an amazing job you did with that Northern Lights scene. your gifts are shining. Shout to the singer also-
Jon, you are a brilliant cinematographer and narrator. I see that attitude of gratitude in every video and it’s contagious. My canoe gear is packed away for the winter but your videos will keep me daydreaming and planning for next year. Thank you.
Day 7 to day 8 were so magical. Wonderful video once again!
