If there was ever a video that deserved a thumbs up, its this one. You really captured the camaraderie between the three of you and the joy you all experienced. Having those two there must have been a huge mental boost after that first day. Wow John, write a book pal. Would be a best seller no joke. Brilliant video yet again.
Epic trip and video!! It's so awesome watching my favorite UA-cam canoe trippers tripping together, it's like getting to watch all my favorite guitarists jam together on stage for a song. Hope you do lots more of this!
On behalf of myself and 206K of my closest friends, we are very glad that you didn't bail on this trip. The three of you make a great team. Looking forward to the coming of Spring and more bouncy water adventures!
That was an amazing experience, with some great teachers ❤️ just finished watching Xanders take on the trip 😆 he's such a card, great energy. Once again you have done an amazing job capturing the beautiful scenery and excitement of the journey! CHEERS 🍻
Well my dear friend yet another classic. I felt that I was there with your friends. You are the luckiest and the richest person on this planet. How come? Well you have the best office to work in and two great friends to accompany you........ absolutely priceless! Keep the videos coming bro. Regards from across the great pond Steve
Seeing you boys together, excited in the beginning put a smile on my face. And what a ride down the river that was. Glad it was a safe trip, thanks for bringing us along
Whoa Man! That looked hectic!! As a guy with very limited canoeing experience it was an awesome trip and fun to live through your "lesser" experience and with a couple awesome experienced bros. lol, 8:56 Hi Xander!! Can't believe you dumped on the first set but that's just part of what great adventures are made of. Thanks for taking us along. My heart rate picked up on some of those rapids as I could imagine yours was exhilarated so nice call on the dual screen through those shots Bro and perfectly timed slo mo's. 31:23 amazing shot for a guy with no camera crew. If this wasn't done with the drone, this shot was A LOT of work and the bird call is icing on the cake, much respect appreciation.
@@LostLakes You had some great Bro's upstream. I added Brad's channel for sure. keep paddling, adventures! I was just asking you like 2 days ago, got any new stuff? This was awesome content Brother,
You guys are doing it right. Staying together, scoping out the swifter water. It’s nice to hear the honesty and sincerity about this trip. I already watched Xander’s channel. It’s nice seeing it from your point of view.
THANKS Jon. That is like the best kind of "TV"; of seeing you guys working together and having fun up north, to be priviledged to watch. Thank-you for sharing.
Wow, great job at navigating the rapids! I was on the edge of my seat through most of them! I have never paddled whitewater, it attracts me but at the same time scares the crap out of me. lol Too bad on the canoe damage and the leaky dry pack. People would laugh at me when I used to canoe trip because my sleeping bag and clothes were always in dry bags inside the dry bag. lol My worst fear, sleeping cold or should I say, trying to sleep cold. lol Wonderful adventure, you three seem to be great travelling companions. Thanks for sharing. :) :)
Hahah *trying* to sleep cold is right. I've always had clothes in a dry bag but sleeping bag should really join that party...you are wise! Thanks as always J!
I love the scenery you capture. Where I live, I don't get the luxury of getting to see all those beautiful stars! The world is an amazing place and I love seeing it through your videos. They're very humbling, as you yourself, are humble. I'd love to go on one of your winter camping trips with you. That would be a dream come true.
I loved Xander birthing out of his dry suit lol and blowing a kiss in the background when john was talking food ha ha ha I giggled for ages on that one! What a hoot! Great adventure!I could feel the tension in the rapids, I admire you doing things that scare you. Greetings from Aus
Super fun trip! Would love to see you do more of this over the summer. You only get to learn something once and it would be a fun experience to see you try to develop a new skillset as a challenge this year. We don't normally get to see you struggle with much so it's fun to see an aspect of canoeing you're not totally familiar with. Excited to see the hot tent retired for the season and the canoe back in action.
"At least your dry suit worked" and "Rocks and Canoes are bad!" you guys are hysterical. I can't wait to see more of the 3 of you on trips together. Your channel keeps growing everytime you post a new video, the youtube gods are loving you lately! Keep on the awesome work and can't wait for the next video.
the people love it!! I know i do! what beautiful places he go's its amazing!!! Also I'm a felon so i dnt think i could ever do half the lakes he does in the north Canada don't let us in.....sad but i messed up i guess. I live in Cleveland so I'm already close so maybe that is why it's hurts me so lol
Emotional energy is the word. Adrenaline the whole time. Others to bounce it around, after the trip it continues. Proud of You definitely growing out of comfort zone!!
Great video. I see you were out for an early spring swim. Dumping can be your new way of catching some fish. Glad to see you were alright and ran more rapids. Enjoyed seeing the boys all together enjoying some fun!
Once again I find myself changing my evening plans. I simply can’t not watch when I get these notifications. Stunning photography again. Unless there are some whitewater experiences you haven’t filmed and uploaded, this seemed to be the most challenging route you’ve taken so far. Nicely done. No surprise that the number of Lost Lakes subscribers continues to grow steadily.
I truly appreciate that Sean 💚 Definitely the most challenging WW I've done...I've had short CII runs before but they've been few and far between so this was a terrific place to learn
My dad and I did the Tat 30 years ago in low conditions (neither of us had any whitewater experience). Many of the swifts we waded. I think I remember that falls. Dad caught brookies at the base and saw a lynx on an old forestry road nearby. Im a bit foggy on the details, but I do remember eating pike each night, the brook trout, and the lynx. Good times with pop. Thanks for bringing me back in time on this one! Always enjoy your work
John i truly applaud your determination to step out of your comfort zone all while knowing when to make choices in safe comfort zone. You have two great friends to guide along the way. May you three have many more epic adventures to share. Best regards to Brad and Xander
For someone who has clocked up 1000's of paddle hours yet your so humbled about the whole white water and impacting the other guys. Your always so real with your audience. Another amazing video mate!
Hey Jon, just LOVE to watch you and your style of filming … you are so informative, real ,refreshing, while at the same time being poetic … ty for how it makes me feel when you post a video ✌🏼
Baptism by fire, or should I say, ice cold water. Great job John. Overcoming your fears is the best way forward. You couldn't have been in better company. Love your channel.
Solid job John! Ive dumped plenty in white water and you handled it well. Great campsite at the class 3 ledge. You should give Nick Harland a follow. He does solo canoeing out here in Alberta and does alot of whitewater. Some beauty scenery as well.
What positive energy coming from you three. Being honest with your feelings and thoughts bring about bonding and understanding. That’s what real men are made of. Thank you for sharing this with us, it truly was a high energy experience.
I was thinking about the guys the same way on this trip...no macho, toxic masculinity junk and I really appreciate that about them. Thanks so much Faye 💚💚💚
Exceptional.. kept me on edge of my seat! Love the drone shots, split screen rapids and voice over narrative. Glad you have some like minded dudes to have fun with!
Great trip! It's comforting to see someone like you with a lot of experience to be a bit sceptical of whitewater, me and a couple of guys was out a few weeks back with our cheap kayaks during the spring flood here in Sweden, it was above my level of competence, above the level of our equipement and definitely above my comfort level..but, we made it.. Again, it looked like a great trip! All the best.
I loved this!! And I have HUGE admiration for the three of you. Both in your courage to overcome your fears and the wellness of Xander and Brad to teach. And the sheer humbleness needed from all in being the student and teacher. Great video!!!
And there is a BUT... wirth Xander being in active recovery? Why do you break out the scotch in front of him so comfortably? I am sure Xander is quite the gentleman and assures you it doesn't bother him, but what would you expect him to say? Just seems really disrespectful to me.
Thank you and I appreciate your empathy. He doesn't want anyone to act differently around him...that's what would make it a "thing". If he was freshly sober that would be totally different but he's been in the driver's seat for years
@@LostLakes thank you for responding. Please know I meant no harm. Just like to protect all natural resources! Ya'll deserve this things for all the happiness you provide.
Insane! I fish adjacent to white water often and I get that queezy feeling when the current grabs my kayak and spins me around. I appreciate the feels of being at the mercy of the rapids. Cheers Jon!
Enjoyed the video as I do all of them. Your camp meals always look so delicious. I would buy a cookbook if you were to produce one. Looking forward to your next adventure.
Don't have a favourite trip, but this one is top three. It's been quite a journey with you: your first big, prolonged season; Erin; hot tent and stoves; and now another serious jump in what you're doing with more collaboration and really, really getting into something new and uncomfy... Kudos!
That was a fantastic vid my brother!!!!! I clapped, cheered, laughed and so enjoyed that amazing trip!!!!! LOL love the clips at the end!!!! Two thumbs WAY UP!!!!!! Friggin Leafs!!!
Man that scared me too! And Xander escaped what could have been a disaster at the end with that rock. Kudos to you for realizing that we have to learn how to fail if we are to grow. Your videos have quickly risen to the top of my watch list. Now, you need to find a canoe manufacturer to sponsor you with a new whitewater boat. Get out and promote your channel to those companies. Sorry, just a little motivation for you. But, watching you do the patch was interesting for me. I have experience wrapping a solo boat around a rock. It was a very long time ago before I understood the power of moving water. Ain't no joke! Looking forward to more, stay safe.
Fantastic that you stepped out of your comfort zone Jon you had to do it sometime what a great way to build your confidence. Have you ever thought of getting a spray deck for the canoe. Looks like you 3 amigos had a lot of fun paddling through those wild rapids awesome filming to go along with it, Well done Jon. always nice to have an couple experienced white water fella's with you to teach you the ropes , very good of them, One day you will be doing the same , Teaching someone . awesome and exciting video thank you
Thanks so much Sue. Been very temped to get a deck but it's pricey and I don't really paddle whitewater that much, though it would be good on Superior too. It can be a hindrance in other ways like on portages and I hate the idea of drilling holes in my canoe...and I'm not sure which canoe I would commit to that purpose. But it still is very tempting and I probably will someday :)
Fantastic video and the split screen when running the rapids is a great way to showcase not only the rapids but what you are doing at the same time. Keep up the great work as always!
Hi, Jon from Peterborough, Ontario. I really appreciate your videos, mainly for the realism and education. I aspire to be at the level that you and your pals are at. I’m also a huge fan of Xander’s. Love your content. Always look forward to your videos.
Great trip Jon but honestly the solo trips you do are way more hardcore then what you did in this video. Way more ways to get into trouble on a 10 day solo trip. Can’t wait for more.
I'm glad you finally figured out why your canoe felt so unbalanced! I'm sure you'll be much more comfortable and confident navigating through whitewater next time. Another great video! Thanks for posting!
If there was ever a video that deserved a thumbs up, its this one. You really captured the camaraderie between the three of you and the joy you all experienced. Having those two there must have been a huge mental boost after that first day. Wow John, write a book pal. Would be a best seller no joke. Brilliant video yet again.
Thanks so much Tyler 💚 If this had been a solo trip with rough weather it would have been pretty miserable
Great comment 👊🏼
Please do write that book. 🙏
Epic trip and video!! It's so awesome watching my favorite UA-cam canoe trippers tripping together, it's like getting to watch all my favorite guitarists jam together on stage for a song. Hope you do lots more of this!
LOL thanks so much Richard!
On behalf of myself and 206K of my closest friends, we are very glad that you didn't bail on this trip. The three of you make a great team. Looking forward to the coming of Spring and more bouncy water adventures!
That was an amazing experience, with some great teachers ❤️ just finished watching Xanders take on the trip 😆 he's such a card, great energy. Once again you have done an amazing job capturing the beautiful scenery and excitement of the journey! CHEERS 🍻
Thanks so much Christian! He's a natural entertainer for sure
Well my dear friend yet another classic. I felt that I was there with your friends. You are the luckiest and the richest person on this planet. How come? Well you have the best office to work in and two great friends to accompany you........ absolutely priceless! Keep the videos coming bro.

Hahah thanks so much Josh! Under 12 mins to get down the hill, paddle through, and hike back up...not too bad. Brad's creative idea :)
@@LostLakes You had some great Bro's upstream. I added Brad's channel for sure. keep paddling, adventures! I was just asking you like 2 days ago, got any new stuff? This was awesome content Brother,
@@LostLakes Big up's to Brad. Really sweet 10 second shot for a lot more work than 10 seconds footage!
What a fantastic adventure! That looked like so much fun, and also terrifying.
You guys are doing it right. Staying together, scoping out the swifter water. It’s nice to hear the honesty and sincerity about this trip. I already watched Xander’s channel. It’s nice seeing it from your point of view.
THANKS Jon. That is like the best kind of "TV"; of seeing you guys working together and having fun up north, to be priviledged to watch. Thank-you for sharing.

Jon in a tent? What is this new devilry?
Great video man, always appreciated.
Hahaha thanks as always WW
Nice to see a healthy respect for the river. Miss the white water thrill myself, so living vicariously.
Great adventure. Nice to see the three of you working so well together.
Brad! Nice to see you paddling with Jon! I've followed both of your channels
Solid job John! Ive dumped plenty in white water and you handled it well. Great campsite at the class 3 ledge. You should give Nick Harland a follow. He does solo canoeing out here in Alberta and does alot of whitewater. Some beauty scenery as well.
Thanks bdub! I'll check him out...miss the Rockies
BRAD is the Man, love their channel. Glad you challenged yourself feels good to do new stuff with support.
Hey Jon.... such a fantastic trip... And what a collaboration! So glad to see you and your buddies enjoying the challenges.
Thanks a bunch Jan!

Well done Jon. Thanks for sharing.
Here’s to a safe and wonderful canoe season!
Cheers to that
Seeing that Maple leaf sweater opened up fresh wounds..
Ugh...still mourning
Good job pushing yourself. This clearly was good peer pressure. You’ve surrounded yourself with good people which always equals a good time.
Exceptional.. kept me on edge of my seat! Love the drone shots, split screen rapids and voice over narrative. Glad you have some like minded dudes to have fun with!
Thanks Barb! Sure is nice to have good paddling buddies, as you know :)
Hello John that was awesome adventure I'm glad you okay when you fall to the water, The view was incredible thank you for sharing the video.
Thanks a lot Halina
I love watching this adventure from different perspectives!
Super trip!!! So glad we got to go along!!

The best part is we get to see em 3 times. "conquering fear"🔥🙌
Beauty eh? No bugs too! TY. Blessings one and all.
Great trip and video - appreciated your vulnerability with whitewater. That paddling away shot at 31:25 gave us a great view!!
Great adventure and nice to see the learning curve!
Thanks Kevin! Been a looong curve
Cheers for having so much fun!! Very impressive on all the canoe handling, and way to get back on that horse!
I learned a valuable lesson tonight, never skip a trip for a Leaf game, even game 7. Fortunately this vid helped ease the pain a bit. Cheers.
Yupp...at least now we can camp in peace without that awful distraction
Great adventure, always look forward to your adventures!!! Looked like fun fun fun!!!
Great experience :) Thanks a lot KC!
Enjoyed the video as I do all of them. Your camp meals always look so delicious. I would buy a cookbook if you were to produce one. Looking forward to your next adventure.
Thanks a lot Ricky! Kevin Outdoors on UA-cam is a fantastic resource on backcountry cooking (some of my meals are from his cookbook)
Love the growth of the channel 🙌 if we don't get uncomfortable and scared we dont have growth I'm finding that in my recovery
You got it brother 💚
Now that looked like a tonne of fun Jon. Awesome way to spend a few days. Very nice region of Ontario.
Thanks man! Sure is
Absolutely AWESOME!!! Man, am jealous of y'all.

Thank you for sharing your adventure! A very exciting video! Cheers!
Awesome adventure!
The shots of the regrowth are amazing
You’re so brave Jon 🫠,just remember, John Wesley Powell went down the wild Colorado in the Grand Canyon with one arm.
Wow, that's some courage
@@LostLakes how’s fishing been? Put any in the boat this year yet?
Wow, this was a great trip, thanks for bringing us along with you....
Good job at it, a real confidence booster. Enjoyed the go along.
Amazing trip leaving the comfort zone looks good on you.
Thanks Jeff :)

Favorite lost lakes adventure thus far hands down. This is what guys are supposed to do thanks for sharing john.

Watching your adventures really makes me want to take one of my own. Loved your videos!
O John, you must feel the bush is the only safe place to wear that Leafs sweater! Another great video and content!
Hahah packed it after game 1 and deeply regret allowing myself to have any sense of pride in them. Thanks Ryan!
Congratulations on overcoming your fear of white water. Great video. Thanks
Awesome! Good on you for expanding your experiences.
Fantastic adventure! Looks like so much fun!
Great video John, time for a spray deck!! Go for it!!! Fun video 👍👍 thanks Guys
Thanks a lot Doug! Definitely thinking about it
I like that you always remain humble even though you're obviously a very accomplished outdoorsman Well done as always!
💚💚
Man that looked like alot fun! Epic adventure guy's! Seeing three canoe buddies just enjoying life! That's what it's all about!
Absolutely...can't wait for the next one
Enjoyable watching you boys out and having some fun and adventures. Building wonderful memories for your old age years.
Fantastic that you stepped out of your comfort zone Jon you had to do it sometime what a great way to build your confidence. Have you ever thought of getting a spray deck for the canoe.

Thanks so much Nate!
Great to see you having fun John! Another super video.
Thanks a lot Paul :)
Great trip Jon but honestly the solo trips you do are way more hardcore then what you did in this video. Way more ways to get into trouble on a 10 day solo trip. Can’t wait for more.
Thanks Paul! That's an interesting point. I guess the fears of solo camping I'm used to but the fear of raging rapids not so much
Pretty ballssy canoing down Those waterwaves but looks like a very fun camping trip With friends ... Cooking The Burrito looks fire On the fire
One of the better “crossover” videos out there. Sometimes when UA-camrs get together, it’s a damn disaster.
LOL thanks Erik
@@LostLakes thank you Jonathan. Another happy trip. Just what I needed.
I'm glad you finally figured out why your canoe felt so unbalanced! I'm sure you'll be much more comfortable and confident navigating through whitewater next time. Another great video! Thanks for posting!
Every time you went through the rapids it stressed me out! What an adventure!
What an amazing trip with good friends !!!!
Great video Jon. Looked like a lot of fun. What a great environment to learn in. 🍻
Thanks a lot Tosh, it was indeed with the sunshine and weather
Glad you pushed yourself outside of your comfort zone, since you love canoeing so much maybe you’ll get hooked.
I'm not a thrill-seeker but it is kinda addictive :)
