MUSIC: El Baile De Los Andes by Pangal & Gana LONG-TERM CAMP: This is the third/final video at the long-term winter camp. We set it up on the previous trips if you missed them. AUDIO: Something went wrong with the mic on the main cam for a bunch of shots (muffled, a few times recorded nothing). Used the action cam more than usual too and the DJI action 3 mics suck. Did my best to salvage it at home but some clips just don't sound right...sorry about that. Also got the worst piece of sensor dust of all time on day 6 🤦♂ But the best of the winter is yet to come. 10-day adventure next.
The music is great and reminds me of Iohan Gueorguiev's soundtrack selection when he was bikepacking through the South American snow. Some of the finest soundtrack work ever done on UA-cam, sadly it ran into copyright issues even though he was using it under license and I don't know if you can find it now, but the soundtrack music was Inti Illimani.
Hey John! Wicked video once again!! I watched it last night and now just read your comment here. I never noticed anything wrong with the sound you edited it all perfectly!👌 the skating was fun to watch and awesome job with the drone shots!! Very cool👍
The overhead shots of the shoveling/igloo were awesome. Erin's persistence and determination building was also something to behold. You guys are great.
Another WOW!!! Thank you! How you still don't have 1M subscribers? This is probably the most Canadian episode on UA-cam, a couple enjoying nature on ice, building igloos, scating and having fun in temperatures well below freezing. An idea for your future episodes: maybe you can play a friendly hockey game with your buddies and even get into fake fist fight, who knows, it might get you more subscribers.
Love how you thought to keep the fire going in case she changed her mind….this week is 15yrs for me and my queen and I am the same way, crazy for her and keeping her in my mind.
Watched the WHOLE thing Jon. Can't believe I did. You're the only UA-camr that can sustain my attention for so long. Again, absolutely amazing cinematography. You two rock!
I spent three years in a tent while building my house and learned the peculiar trait of wildlife having a love to bed down near the tent. Animals like to sleep by us interestingly enough. It's like a comfort they want, but can't experience until we're asleep.
Erin must have been really been properly dressed to last that long inside the second igloo considering the cold. Also I couldn't help but wonder what would have happened if at about the third or fourth row up, she had to use the washroom, lol. Cutting an exit at that stage could have been disastrous.
I love watching this stuff. It's already starting to get hot here again in Texas and it pisses me off haha. You'd think if I disliked the heat I'd be anywhere other than Texas, but nevertheless here I am.
Just curious papaown are you worried about increasing temperatures in texas i remember last summer you guys had about two weeks where temperatures where over 100 f
I was just watching a video ...and they mentioned a UA-camr named ThroatSingKing ....the reason im commenting this to you is because this guy goes out in the backwoods of Ontario and makes these noises that sound like "flutes" i started wondering if just maybe thats what John heard that one day. The odds of you both being in near area on the same day maybe slim lol but i thought i would tell you about it in case you wanna go listen to see if just maybe thats what you heard?? 🤔
Amazing video! You two are such an adorable couple and work so well together and skate well too! Pro hockey technique. That was fun watching you both skate on the lake! Nice igloo! And such incredible beautiful scenery, editing & music , and the sound of that awesome ice cracking Wow! That is so cool! Phenomenal video!!
Erin really did an awesome job building and going solo in the igloo. Her chopping and splitting wood skills are second to none not to mention her ability to pull you from an icy death Jon. Easy choice to marry her! Great episode and editing as always. Nice work Erin!
Hard to explain how it feels to move from the intro into the start of a Lost Lakes story to the uninitiated. Always a privilege guys - thank you from Australia
John, you struck Gold with Erin. You two make a great team. You love your adventures wherever you go together. May God bless and always keep you safe. Thanks for sharing with us.
Congratulations you guys!!!! Such an amazing episode!! I love Erin. AND John, of course. The overall quality of the entire video is hands down as good as an y studio quality production. You two are GREAT together. ❤ Thank you for sharing
I just ❤ all of your videos!!! Especially those with John & Erin. You two are living the dream & there are so many of us that appreciate you sharing the experiences. 🥰😊
You know it's a cold climate when -5 is "cozy". Another spectacular adventure Jon and Erin - thanks for taking us along, and for all your effort with the editing too.
What a tremendous achievement! Congratulations on those two BEAUTIFUL structures. Both so artistically crafted and landscaped too! 😄 I was thinking that unfinished one was a perfect ice fishing wind break too, glad you got to use it, even if you didn't catch anything. I sure would want to spend a bunch of nights in the completed igloo too if I had worked that hard on it. What a fun week! Thank you for taking us along. 🏕
The sound of the lake is like nothing Ive ever heard before. So amazing. Thank you for giving us all the gift of being able to hear that sound. SO sick.
I never get tired of hearing the ice popping in these videos. Such an intense sound. I wouldn’t sleep a wink if it was going on around me all night long! The igloo was so freaking cool. I know that was a crap ton of work, well done hanging in there both of you! The sense of accomplishment was well worth it I’m sure. I was shocked when you got on top of it! So cool. Great video, thanks!
Erin's persistence pays off! Finally igloo success! Then to sleep it total commitment. Like having your own private mini ice hotel as they do in Quebec City. Kept thinking she was really braving it, especially with no bag o'scotch 😥. Now im just waiting for the game cam lynx footage, next time forsure, third times the charm!
Your channel is the reason I winter camp. I would have never even considered it. You take the the risk out of it by showing how to do it without dying. Thank you.
So happy to see Erin again! Absolutely love the channel, Jon! But adore your videos together. 😊 one day I’ll prioritize my craving to be outdoors with my doggos over work. In the meantime, I’ll live vicariously through you two. Thanks so much for sharing your adventures! ❤
Y'all are the best, and so in love with each other and that's great how you work together, I love watching EVERYDAY, never miss a episode, and the music suits the show. Sometimes I feel like I'm there, so beautiful. I pray y'all are together forever 💓 just amazing show. God watch over you on your journeys! Diane Studs!😊
What a cool trip! That shot of the glowing blue igloo on the lake at night with the stars overhead was mesmerizing , and the (Peruvian?) flute music really lent a fitting touch to the picturesque scenes. Bravo to Erin for her resilience in not giving up on the igloo build and the sense of adventure in soloing overnight in it, twice! You two are renegades! 👏🏼
I rarely watch a video that is this long and I must say I was totally captivated by your entire trip! Although my knees ached just thinking about being out in those temps lol
Really a great trip! The ice sounds, which most have never heard, the igloo building, the night photography, a first class production. Thanks so much for sharing the beauty of winter in northern Ontario. !
What an awesome episode! Erin, incredible job on the igloo. Imagine somebody coming along and finding it. No way they pass up spending a night in there. Jon- nice job feeding the wood stove and reading in the warm tent.
Erin is such a joy. Her drive and focus without which you never would have built the igloo. I’m with you Jon - quihnzee. Made one in Algonquin with the kids when they were young. Worked great but -30° - helped it sinter fast. Loved the drone “art” shots and cracking ice was a new one. Finally a dose of winter in a season of 💩. Thanks to both of you. 🤗
Great one! Loved it! You married a great one my man! Had a really good laugh when Erin said (i hope Jon is gonna be ok in the hot tent tonight) 😂 That's one tough Chick!
This was extrodinary beautiful to watch. First of all you are such a sweet couple and watching you two together makes me smile. hearing those ice sounds is unbelievable. I´ve never heard that before, sound sureal! And you really made that trip like a holiday out of a dream: Ice skating, exploreing, fishing, building an iglu and sleep in it, hunting chaga, .... What an adventure!! Thanks a lot for sharing that with us, Jon and Erin.
WOW! I have traveled quite a bit in my younger days, seen some beautiful country in the Yukon and beyond, and I tried in vain to capture the astonishing beauty of so many experiences, but my lord you’ll take it to another level, thank you for sharing your adventures with us! I’m 65 now, done a whole lot in my youth, only problem I have now is the only evidence exists in my memories, which isn’t bad mind you, just more difficult to share. So again, thank you for sharing such beauty! Oh I too have built a few igloos and yes it’s tricky
Amazing! Erin is way better at chopping the wood than Xander will ever be😂. Mad skills lady. The aerial of the igloo reminded me of Art Attack. If you know, you know👏🏼❤
Some beautiful cinematography here--as usual! Is there a new camera in play? Some of those 'nature' shots at 16:00-18:00 are sooo crisp! Great work, and it looks like you two had a BLAST!
The igloo is quite a feat! And so fun to watch! Did you cover over the entrance to the igloo as you slept?! I find your adventures so soothing to watch! You both are so calming! Thank you for sharing! ( and the lake sounds?!? There No way I’d sleep!!)
Hello Jon and Erin. Congratulations on your igloo build! I watched the igloo-building portions of your video with special interest and, as I saw the first layer being built, I wished I could have been there to warn you about a problem with your anchor spike. Part of the reason your transition between layers was difficult was that your spike was raised (possibly as much at 5" off the surface of the ice in a mound of snow you piled up to hold it in place. The center spike should be set into the snow (or in this case, the ice) at the same height as the bottom of the first layer of blocks. That discrepancy would have thrown off the three-dimensional geometry. In future, if you are building on ice, chop a small narrow hole in the ice where the spike will be set, pour in some water and loose snow, and then wait for the spike to freeze into place. This will ensure that the spike and bottom of the first layer are on the same level. The other reason you were experiencing gaps was that you were filling the form with snow all the way up to the top. For both the 8' and 9" igloo builds, the form should NOT be filled all the way up, but rather 1" to 2" from the top, otherwise the walls climb too high (and then lean in too soon), all of which again deviates from the desired catenary arch shape and results in those gaps between the inside wall of the lower block and the inside panel of the form. With all that said, however, that gap you showed is not that uncommon and can happen even when everything is done correctly. The way to deal with it is for the form-handler to cram a mittened hand under the inside panel of the form and block the hole up as much as possible while the shoveler drops in a lot of snow, essentially choking the opening with a lot of snow, which is then packed. No doubt, something like that is what you did to deal with those gaps, so good on you both for working it out. Hope this helps, and kudos to you and Erin on your perseverance! Cheers, - Martin
Thanks a lot Martin! That was so frustrating as we thought we were so careful but makes good sense now. I think we're finally through the worst of the learning curve 😅
Thanks for your feedback! After the first one didn’t line up I was wondering if the centre piece being slightly elevated was part of the issue. It seemed so minor that I dismissed the idea but hearing you explain it I understand how it would impact each subsequent level. It’s a fascinating tool, I enjoy learning how it works and it feels satisfying to finally have succeeded with one. Thanks again for the insights!
Glad to hear that my buddy! I know exactly your mindset, and UA-cam sometimes throws you some weird numbers, but sometimes you gotta say, FU YT, I'm sticking to my guns!! 🙂 lol. I had the same thing with my last video. Take care buddy!!@@LostLakes
After how many seasons, you folks finally got that igloo made: awesome! I'm sure it's warmer than an arctic tent with a coleman stove. Once again, I noticed a few Army surplus items that Erin uses. That sleeping bag weights a ton but it does a great job of keeping you warm.
Been watching for a few years now. I’ve watched other channels, but I keep coming back to yours. Love it. Keep up the good work and stay away from Xander.
I appreciate the time and effort you enjoy the overhead visuals enough to re shovel and reshoot. I’ve done similar things that no one has seen but only for my self gratification. Nice to know I’m not the only “weirdo” amoung us.
Somewhere under his breath there is an Inuit elder giggling. I admire however the persistence you both have. I wish I was there with both you lucky ones

@@The-Dutch-Explorer thanks Koen!

Great determination on the igloo Erin👏🎉.Guys the content was awesome the filming and drone is outstanding.
This is great fun to watch, but gotta say the most Canadian thing I've ever witnessed! Cheers
The statement from Erin hope Jon isn't too uncomfortable inside the tent with his big stove. Lol. Super shots of night time igloo.
So calm and quiet
I normally prefer solo trips, but you and Erin have changed my view. She has to be 1 in a billion!
Another WOW!!! Thank you! How you still don't have 1M subscribers?

Those blue igloo shots at night, just stunning 😊
Watched the WHOLE thing Jon. Can't believe I did. You're the only UA-camr that can sustain my attention for so long. Again, absolutely amazing cinematography. You two rock!
Thanks a lot Joc!
That vid was a LOT of fun to watch. You two have a great spirit of fun & adventure.
WOW!!! Amazing trip ! Amazing camera work! you guys just keep getting better and better. Loved it !!!
I spent three years in a tent while building my house and learned the peculiar trait of wildlife having a love to bed down near the tent. Animals like to sleep by us interestingly enough. It's like a comfort they want, but can't experience until we're asleep.
Erin reminds me of PFT Commenter
Still want a wedding invite… I’ll bring that damn Breville juicer!!! “Lez Dance🎻🍸
The photo at 5:44 is just awesome.
Even with all those clothes Erin, I can tell you've lost a lot of bulk. Congratulations. Not an easy task.
Erin must have been really been properly dressed to last that long inside the second igloo considering the cold. Also I couldn't help but wonder what would have happened if at about the third or fourth row up, she had to use the washroom, lol. Cutting an exit at that stage could have been disastrous.
Lol I thought so too but she informed me that after the third level you can dig out a hole through the first level
I love watching this stuff. It's already starting to get hot here again in Texas and it pisses me off haha. You'd think if I disliked the heat I'd be anywhere other than Texas, but nevertheless here I am.

Lost lakes is one of the few channels I click like before I watch the video because I know it's going to be a banger.
haha same here 👊👊
I know right?!❤
Exactly what happened here😂💪✌
Every time too
every time!!
I fight with my wife when we assemble an IKEA chair. I can’t imagine building an igloo with her 😂. Great work guys!
Hahah I found this tool to be like the most frustrating IKEA build ever. Thankfully Erin has more patience
That igloo is amazing! Looked so awesome with the blue light showing through at night. Great choice of music and wonderfully filmed…. As always.
Amazing video! You two are such an adorable couple and work so well together and skate well too!
Pro hockey technique.
That was fun watching you both skate on the lake!
Nice igloo!
And such incredible beautiful scenery, editing & music , and the sound of that awesome ice cracking Wow! That is so cool!
Phenomenal video!!
Erin really did an awesome job building and going solo in the igloo. Her chopping and splitting wood skills are second to none not to mention her ability to pull you from an icy death Jon. Easy choice to marry her! Great episode and editing as always. Nice work Erin!
The best storyteller in this genre! I'm waiting for the book ;) Keep the videos coming.
You and Erin make a great team. I thoroughly enjoyed this video
Do you want a toothpick? I made them myself. 😂
Hard to explain how it feels to move from the intro into the start of a Lost Lakes story to the uninitiated. Always a privilege guys - thank you from Australia

damn she slept on the ice, mad respect.
The night shots of the igloo was the best. Erin is brave sleeping in a cold igloo
Great video, love winter camping and the “booming” ice. Thank you, it’s been years since I heard that sound. You guys are great!
You know it's a cold climate when -5 is "cozy". Another spectacular adventure Jon and Erin - thanks for taking us along, and for all your effort with the editing too.

Congratulations on completing the igloo! Patience, determination, and skill win. Very enjoyable vid. Thank you.
Beautiful!!! Just beautiful!!! Thanks for sharing you two! 🤗♥️🔥🌅

Great job..fun to watch...a reminder to us all ..that ...THESE ARE ...THE GOOD OLD DAYS

Kept thinking she was really braving it, especially with no bag o'scotch 😥. Now im just waiting for the game cam lynx footage, next time forsure, third times the charm!
intro drone shots are amazing
Don't you feel one with the world when you stand and look at the night sky. Great video, guys. Congrats, fantastic fantastic
This is what marriage is all about. True companions!!❤
Whoa, amazing night images of the igloo lit from within. Among the best night camping pictures I’ve ever seen. Congrats on persevering!
Your channel is the reason I winter camp. I would have never even considered it. You take the the risk out of it by showing how to do it without dying. Thank you.
So happy to see Erin again! Absolutely love the channel, Jon! But adore your videos together. 😊 one day I’ll prioritize my craving to be outdoors with my doggos over work. In the meantime, I’ll live vicariously through you two. Thanks so much for sharing your adventures! ❤
It would be so nice if my wife would enjoy camping all year round. I enjoy all your videos and watch them over and over.
Could you imagine getting your wife to go out in -30 to build an igloo on a frozen lake.
So do I!! Especially the canoeing / fishing ones!!
I wish my husband wanted to do these adventures.
Well finally.Erin is a part of these.A must.
Y'all are the best, and so in love with each other and that's great how you work together, I love watching EVERYDAY, never miss a episode, and the music suits the show. Sometimes I feel like I'm there, so beautiful. I pray y'all are together forever 💓 just amazing show. God watch over you on your journeys! Diane Studs!😊
Simply amazing! I was sad when your video came to a close! I could watch your videos for ever! Keep up the great UA-cam content👍👍👍
Thanks so much Dale!
What a cool trip! That shot of the glowing blue igloo on the lake at night with the stars overhead was mesmerizing , and the (Peruvian?) flute music really lent a fitting touch to the picturesque scenes. Bravo to Erin for her resilience in not giving up on the igloo build and the sense of adventure in soloing overnight in it, twice! You two are renegades! 👏🏼
Best camping youtuber by a long shot.
So much wholesomeness here
I rarely watch a video that is this long and I must say I was totally captivated by your entire trip! Although my knees ached just thinking about being out in those temps lol
Really a great trip! The ice sounds, which most have never heard, the igloo building, the night photography, a first class production. Thanks so much for sharing the beauty of winter in northern Ontario.
!

Erin is a keeper. Loved this video.
"I could write my will on here. To whom it may concern." 😂😂
Definitely, it was an experience of the "joys of winter!"
This was extrodinary beautiful to watch. First of all you are such a sweet couple and watching you two together makes me smile. hearing those ice sounds is unbelievable.

Please tell more about the bark you boiled... never heard about it before....from South Africa....
Amazing! Erin is way better at chopping the wood than Xander will ever be😂. Mad skills lady. The aerial of the igloo reminded me of Art Attack. If you know, you know👏🏼❤
That sound! Imagine sleeping on top of it. Awesome as usual.
Some beautiful cinematography here--as usual! Is there a new camera in play? Some of those 'nature' shots at 16:00-18:00 are sooo crisp! Great work, and it looks like you two had a BLAST!
Just love the interacrion between jou two, always such a joy to watch you both ❤
Awesome!!! Erin’s personal Pantheon!!!! 👍😃
The igloo is quite a feat! And so fun to watch! Did you cover over the entrance to the igloo as you slept?! I find your adventures so soothing to watch! You both are so calming! Thank you for sharing! ( and the lake sounds?!? There No way I’d sleep!!)
What a wonderful experience for you both. Glad you took me along with you both thank you.
Great video. Absolutely love this stuff. BTW I do believe you've got a keeper. LOL
I so enjoyed this one. Wtg Erin, loved the igloo. Thanks for sharing this awesome trip!!
You're making me sick I want to go out so badly, but I'm only equipped for summer..
Hello Jon and Erin. Congratulations on your igloo build!
I watched the igloo-building portions of your video with special interest and, as I saw the first layer being built, I wished I could have been there to warn you about a problem with your anchor spike. Part of the reason your transition between layers was difficult was that your spike was raised (possibly as much at 5" off the surface of the ice in a mound of snow you piled up to hold it in place. The center spike should be set into the snow (or in this case, the ice) at the same height as the bottom of the first layer of blocks. That discrepancy would have thrown off the three-dimensional geometry. In future, if you are building on ice, chop a small narrow hole in the ice where the spike will be set, pour in some water and loose snow, and then wait for the spike to freeze into place. This will ensure that the spike and bottom of the first layer are on the same level.

With all that said, however, that gap you showed is not that uncommon and can happen even when everything is done correctly. The way to deal with it is for the form-handler to cram a mittened hand under the inside panel of the form and block the hole up as much as possible while the shoveler drops in a lot of snow, essentially choking the opening with a lot of snow, which is then packed. No doubt, something like that is what you did to deal with those gaps, so good on you both for working it out.
Hope this helps, and kudos to you and Erin on your perseverance!

Thanks a lot Martin! That was so frustrating as we thought we were so careful but makes good sense now. I think we're finally through the worst of the learning curve 😅
Thanks for your feedback! After the first one didn’t line up I was wondering if the centre piece being slightly elevated was part of the issue. It seemed so minor that I dismissed the idea but hearing you explain it I understand how it would impact each subsequent level.
It’s a fascinating tool, I enjoy learning how it works and it feels satisfying to finally have succeeded with one.
Thanks again for the insights!
At the 45 minute mark, you're thinking moose and I'm thinking Bigfoot 😂
Hey bud, the original thumb looked cooler 🙂, hope you're well sending you both much love as always
Hahah that's what I needed to hear...changed it back. Thanks my friend :)
Glad to hear that my buddy! I know exactly your mindset, and UA-cam sometimes throws you some weird numbers, but sometimes you gotta say, FU YT, I'm sticking to my guns!! 🙂 lol. I had the same thing with my last video. Take care buddy!!@@LostLakes
Arrival view looks like [ crop ] snow circles. With a U.F.O. in the center.
Canadians just cant help but turn to tom foolery when the water freezes and the butter knife shoes come out
I was waiting for a new video! I enjoy this channel very much!!
I imagine someone else coming through and finding a bunch of started igloos lmao
After how many seasons, you folks finally got that igloo made: awesome! I'm sure it's warmer than an arctic tent with a coleman stove. Once again, I noticed a few Army surplus items that Erin uses. That sleeping bag weights a ton but it does a great job of keeping you warm.
Ya that bag surprises me with how well it keeps her warm versus my pricey down bag
Been watching for a few years now. I’ve watched other channels, but I keep coming back to yours. Love it. Keep up the good work and stay away from Xander.
Lol thanks a lot Greg :)
Great show loved the igloo and what a nice way to find peace in all seasons.
I appreciate the time and effort you enjoy the overhead visuals enough to re shovel and reshoot.
I’ve done similar things that no one has seen but only for my self gratification.
Nice to know I’m not the only “weirdo” amoung us.
I’m not alone 😊
Hey guys!! You two get my vote for cRaZiEsT couple on you tube!! LOL
Such fantastic camera work, I come here to help rewind before sleep but I am always so invested in seeing the video through!!! ❤
Well done.
I've been meaning to ask: can all Canadians just ice skate from birth?
Ya the doctor's main job is to operate the zamboni to allow the baby to skate out
i like you both camping together
You two make a great team. Great perseverance with the igloo. Another awesome video
Lucky in love and Mother Nature ❤️
Blanche Chambly is really good. I've been able to get it here in Michigan.
The music made me feel like i was watching this at PF Chang's.......and that is a great thing
Somewhere under his breath there is an Inuit elder giggling. I admire however the persistence you both have. I wish I was there with both you lucky ones
Are you people Zander Boodnex's parental figures?
Can you guys confirm that when Canadians are born they have skates on ready to go?
Can confirm :)
