Best outdoor UA-cam channel hands down. Jon your filming abilities are second to very few almost none as far as we see you and Erin are the Face of Outdoor Canada. We can't wait for the adventure...
I absolutely love cold camping videos. I am so excited the season is finally here. Thank you for never ceasing to amaze me with all that is possible in beautiful Canada.
I always was baffled about folks not dragging an electric chain saw. Your wife has good since, mine divorced me because i was me. What about those backcountry ski things LL Bean? Shuffling rather than trudging ?

For those who don't know, it's a 10:1 ratio of snow to liquid water by volume. It would take 10 pots of melted snow to get one pot of liquid water. Snow is also very porous, which makes it a pain to melt. I'm always amazed at how that little stove can keep a thin walled tent, with no insulation, warm in the winter! Excellent trip Bud!!
Another outstanding video John! Your compositions are state of the art. I love the jump cuts between soft and hard water at the start of the video. I was immediately transported!
Always fantastic content Jon and Erin! Gorgeous red meat on that sweet Brook trout. I was drooling with vicarious memories of eating them fresh from lake to pan like that! It's simply the best.
Thanks Jon and can’t wait to see more winter camping . Always a good book end to the seasons you are able to tackle . Great capture of that amazing sun dog , truly spectacular vision , not to mention the Brook Trout . Good fish fry eating to warm the soul.
Now that was an awesome video, thank you for sharing. Being from southern Alabama in the US, we don’t get to go ice fishing, so I’m always excited to see videos of folks doing it. That was cool that Erin came out to help you setup, she’s definitely a keeper. Thanks again Jon for sharing
Such a cool intro, almost like watching the forest freeze over in time lapse, which would be epic if it was possible. I'm jealous of your extreme cold as usual! Erin rocking the OAC skis, love those.
That was fun. Thanks for sharing. This is my favorite season to watch your channel. Never get to experience anything this in Florida. Ice fishing is on my bucket list. 🤙
I've started putting your videos on in the break room at work while I'm on my lunch break.. taking advantage of the smart TV lol. Slowly but surely getting more people hooked
Wonderful. as always! I love it when I see another video pop up!! Have together more clothes on when I watch your winter camping. I’m from Louisiana and we’re cold at 50! Beautiful camera work! The colors of that fish were beautiful! Thanks again Jon!
Loved this!!!! The trout! OMG!!!! When y’all first drilled that first hole - WOW!!! And so loved that perspective at the beginning showing summer then bam - winter! So cool to see that!!! Thanks Jon and Erin!!! As always - my fave people online ever!
Happy New Year U and Erin. thank you for bringing us along. Especially love the trout fishing 🎣 videos. Bet that dead kill spruce didn’t burn long at all-25. Great video to start 2025. Happy times
Brrrrr...i love your winter camping videos but ever since i saw Erin in the ice doing her survival video i shiver and shiver watching these videos. No more ice swimming Erin!!!!
Hi Erin , Jon Looks so very cold indeed at those temps .Like that little sonar nicer than big n bulky if it works nice Brookie tasty for sure I miss fishing for them . Thanks for this short sweet camping adventure , see ya on the next one !
You finally got me guys. I just finished testing my hammock for winter conditions and I’m out this weekend for my first winter back country! Thanks for the continued inspiration. 😊
Great shots, especially the before and after drone shots at the start, impressive to line up the frames that well (and to have the foresight 4 weeks in advance!) My only complaint is that is was only 16m, i could have kept watching for hours! Will have to wait for the next one I guess. Thanks as always Jon!
Oh perfect - we've had a whole 1cm of snow here and I've just come in from having a little fire in my garden log burner and enjoying a winter's night and now I get to see it done properly!
Go to a goodwill or second hand store and buy some skis and mount them on your sleds you will be amazed at how much easier it is to pull them also I love your videos and am jealous of your lifestyle keep going full support from me
I've caught literally thousands of perch, lake trout, pike and walleyes through the ice on Swedish pimples. My all time favorite jigging spoon. That little grub you put on there mnight have sealed the deal. Really cool closeup of the scales too.
I've been spending a lot of time in your back catalogue (since you'd have to be doing 5 trips at once 24/7 to keep up with my viewing!) and I've always loved your videography and editing, but the recent videos have been stepping it up another notch! Only a few minutes in and I'm already impressed!
One of my favorite things about winter is knowing your hot tenting trips are coming!!! Love the before and after shots of the lakes and the trek in was beautiful 🤩
I got one of these fish finders for my Canoe this summer! It's light enough to take into the back country, even with the clamp mount they sell, and at least provides you with some good information like depth, water temp and structure.
Jon and Erin! Great to see you two at it again! I’m a skinny lad who grew up in Texas and Southern California so watching Erin in that icy plunge took my breath away. Jon, it’s good to see another fellow hammocks who lands the plane in winter! I tried and tried both on backpacking trips and day hiking local woods near home to get into hammocking in winter with a blue ccf mat and a reflectix mat underneath it and I was still freezing after a time. I’ve decided that I will stick to tents on winter trips. Much warmer for me and I can spread stuff out better. Great trip here and you two take care. NQU
From Maine and absolutely love your videos and the hard work that goes into just making the video and all the stuff behind the camera that we don’t see can’t thank you enough for giving ur fans this opportunity to try and do it ourselves stay blessed John and Erin
Great video, Jon. You've got me pumped for ice fishing some brookies when the season opens here on February 1st. Although we have zero snow or ice as of yet on the East coast of the island.
Nice one. That's a nice feature for ice fishing. good video, keep them coming. Just got my own hot tent from Nortent, Gamme 6. Maybe i'll test it on ice for ice fishing after this one.
I have hot tented and slept in everything from igloos to holes in cornices' on a Yukon mountain and all over the Arctic.. literally (sovereignty ops) and I can tell you that you Sir are an exceptionally skilled woodsman. It is refreshing to see the next generation enjoying the life that I once adored. Cheers to you and Erin. From an OG Thunder Bayer! Cheers.
A nice outing Jon to start off the hardwater season. That giant bobber sonar is pretty slick. Looks like that lake has freshwater shrimp judging by the colour of the flesh on that brookie.
Wow....now that I finished the video I have to say....u know when its super cold when the snow crunches like that!. Pretty cool fishing device! wish I had that growing up!. 50 degrees is pretty damn warm for a tent! I have to say, I licked my lips when u cooked that trout! always love ur vids buddy..stay safe.
So glad this popped up, been so long since I saw a video of yours and I have the subscribe with bell on and there's so many videos to catch up on it looks like

I love winter camping videos too, i tried it out a few years ago and love doing them now.
Me, too. I swear, I get chilly watching these freezing videos.
I always was baffled about folks not dragging an electric chain saw. Your wife has good since, mine divorced me because i was me. What about those backcountry ski things LL Bean? Shuffling rather than trudging ?
You and Erin, did it again. Totally awesome. Thanks Jon 🍻 Cheers
Nice one buddy, liked the cinematic slow mo sequence and music, v fitting.

Sorry if you have mentioned it before, but what is the make/model of that wood stove? Are you happy with it? I have only ever used kni co stoves.
Really appreciate the cinematography! The sunset and sunrise shots were stunning

Thank you!!
Been waiting all year for the winter vids! Living vicariously from the hot southern USA!
my 2 favorite Canadians.....and my 1 favorite survivor!!!
Always fantastic content Jon and Erin! Gorgeous red meat on that sweet Brook trout. I was drooling with vicarious memories of eating them fresh from lake to pan like that! It's simply the best.

What a lovely time in our awesome northern winter ! TY!

Beautiful, just so beautiful, real winter, delicious fish, real people… Thank you!
Winter at its finest up there
Such a cool intro, almost like watching the forest freeze over in time lapse, which would be epic if it was possible. I'm jealous of your extreme cold as usual! Erin rocking the OAC skis, love those.
So wish I could get a timelapse like that!
That was fun. Thanks for sharing. This is my favorite season to watch your channel. Never get to experience anything this in Florida. Ice fishing is on my bucket list. 🤙

Brook Trout is sooo delicious, it could very well be considered seafood...lol. Fantastic video guys, thank you!!
Cheers to the first winter camping trip of the season! That trout looked delicious, well done, Jon!
John. I love your videos brother. Your truly are inspiring
Wonderful. as always! I love it when I see another video pop up!! Have together more clothes on when I watch your winter camping. I’m from Louisiana and we’re cold at 50! Beautiful camera work! The colors of that fish were beautiful! Thanks again Jon!

It’s funny how happy & excited I get when you catch a brook trout. No better way to spend a winter weekend.
👋👍🤗❤️ Your videos never disappoint me. I really enjoyed watching Erin cut that wood, nice! What a great watch!
Brrrrr...i love your winter camping videos but ever since i saw Erin in the ice doing her survival video i shiver and shiver watching these videos. No more ice swimming Erin!!!!
Hi Erin , Jon Looks so very cold indeed at those temps .Like that little sonar nicer than big n bulky if it works nice Brookie tasty for sure I miss fishing for them . Thanks for this short sweet camping adventure , see ya on the next one !
Dude I love your videos. I’m 70 now and love camping but I never did the amazing things you have done. This one is really entertaining
I love the winter and the cold! But that’s too cold for me to want to camp. 😂 beautiful video as always
You finally got me guys. I just finished testing my hammock for winter conditions and I’m out this weekend for my first winter back country! Thanks for the continued inspiration. 😊
Thanks for a great opening to your hot tent camping season. I'll be staying tuned in. Thank you for sharing your experience 🙏.
I love the drone shots of the lakes switching over! Thanks for the video guys.
Nice to see you guys. Thanks so much for the video. 🙂
Great shots, especially the before and after drone shots at the start, impressive to line up the frames that well (and to have the foresight 4 weeks in advance!) My only complaint is that is was only 16m, i could have kept watching for hours! Will have to wait for the next one I guess. Thanks as always Jon!

The season is here. All the best this winter. Todd.
Another great adventure. Nice to see the catch n cook. The bright red and orange of that brook trout meat was pretty spectacular.

Always enjoy your videos thanks guys and gals happy new year be safe...
So excited for your winter cold camping videos! Keep up the great work!!❤
The meat on that brook trout is beautiful. Nothing better than that for a meal.
I've caught literally thousands of perch, lake trout, pike and walleyes through the ice on Swedish pimples. My all time favorite jigging spoon. That little grub you put on there mnight have sealed the deal. Really cool closeup of the scales too.
Well done! Even on a shorter video, you still got aa the good bits in .

Hahah I'm with you on sticking to tents in winter. Thanks NQU!
Great setup! That fish finder looks amazing. Thanks for sharing the video, it must’ve been cold out there 😅
Great hot tent video! It's nice to see all of that snow. We don't get much snow or cold weather here in Minnesota anymore. Cheers!
From Maine and absolutely love your videos and the hard work that goes into just making the video and all the stuff behind the camera that we don’t see can’t thank you enough for giving ur fans this opportunity to try and do it ourselves stay blessed John and Erin
🙏 Much appreciated!
Fun video - but aren't they all? Happy New Year Jon and Erin.
Loved the vlog. Beautiful fish, that looked good eating.
Great video, Jon. You've got me pumped for ice fishing some brookies when the season opens here on February 1st. Although we have zero snow or ice as of yet on the East coast of the island.
Thanks Troy! Hope some comes your way soon
That time of year again. Lovely video. Lived in Finland for 7 years and those temps look all too familiar :)
The intro was great with the audio mix! Another great video!
Happy New Year you two. Hope to see more of the 2 of you camping.
Awesome video as always guys!
Nice one. That's a nice feature for ice fishing. good video, keep them coming. Just got my own hot tent from Nortent, Gamme 6. Maybe i'll test it on ice for ice fishing after this one.
Lets go! A new video to watch before sleeping!
I'm pretty happy with my Deeper Sonar too. When I'm in my hut, I leave it outside in my tipup hole. Nice and light for run and gun too. Good video!
I have hot tented and slept in everything from igloos to holes in cornices' on a Yukon mountain and all over the Arctic.. literally (sovereignty ops) and I can tell you that you Sir are an exceptionally skilled woodsman. It is refreshing to see the next generation enjoying the life that I once adored. Cheers to you and Erin. From an OG Thunder Bayer! Cheers.
Thank you my friend 🙏
Erin you are the boss John I’m sure you know that!! John I love your videos I don’t even fish, but still love them
vey interesting, got chilled watching it. thank you
Happy New Year Jon and Erin, all the best to you for 2025!
What a nice surprise after a looooong Monday.
I needed this video today ❤
A nice outing Jon to start off the hardwater season. That giant bobber sonar is pretty slick. Looks like that lake has freshwater shrimp judging by the colour of the flesh on that brookie.
Tis the season, looking forward to many more adventures💯
Watch out when camping john I hear there's a wild beast called trump after your beautiful country. Looking forwards to more vids :)
Just what I needed a video from Lost lakes to help me relax😊👍🐟🐟🐟🐟
Thanks, Jon. Good show!
Wow....now that I finished the video I have to say....u know when its super cold when the snow crunches like that!. Pretty cool fishing device! wish I had that growing up!. 50 degrees is pretty damn warm for a tent! I have to say, I licked my lips when u cooked that trout! always love ur vids buddy..stay safe.
I enjoyed watching that. Thank you.
Thanks for the video, I was in need of a good old winter camping one. It’s a great start for 2025 🎉
I've been using a Deeper for about 4yrs now. Game changer, allowing mapping of unknown lakes :)
Nice little trip! Ice is just hardening up down here in southern Ontario. Can’t wait to get out!
cool intro jon and erin ! happy go ice fishing
Here we go!
So glad this popped up, been so long since I saw a video of yours and I have the subscribe with bell on and there's so many videos to catch up on it looks like

Great stuff Jon the brook trout looked tasty.....cheers.
Very beautiful video, like always
