    I think this is my favorite video of this year so far and maybe my all time favorite. I'm sorry the rest of your trip got canceled. All the wildlife on this trip was awesome. You have always stayed true to yourself throughout your UA-cam career. You are a genuine man. I certainly hope you come back and do a longer trip on this amazing body of water. Sometimes I meditate before bed. Sometimes I watch your content. I get the same results from both. Thank you for creating fantastic videos.

    My dad worked at the Kimberly Clark pulp mill in Terrace Bay back in the '70s. KC logged an area the size of the state of Arkansas centered around Longlac. To set up the operation, Long Lake was dammed at its northern end, diverting the water from Hudson Bay down the Aguasabon River to Lake Superior. They built a dam and hydro plant at Terrace Bay and the mill is on the reservoir. They log all year and truck the logs out on the ice on Long Lake once the ground freezes up. From there the logs go down the Aguasabon to the mill. Beautiful area. Lots of lakes to fish if you can get permission to use the company logging roads.

    Just noticed the behavior of the fox at the beginning;
    he buried the chipmunk to make sure it was secured before checking you out.
    After he saw what you were about he went and grabbed his belongings and hit the trail lol.

    I loved that black fox it looked just like my dog burying her shhhh... toys. Beautiful camera work. It's amazing how similar that lake is to the one we're long term camping on. It's another long thin lake, running parallel to the one you were on. We found a Luna month floating last week too, it never occurred to us that it might still be alive. Big pike are the staple here for my family but we also have trout in the depths and sneaky little perch. I use 50lb fluoro and the burly pike here still fray it up, especially when they're angry and won't stop biting to get unhooked. Thunder Bay is awesome. We stocked up at Sleeping Giant Brewing the other day, best beer on the North Shore! Cheers!

    Great shots of wildlife small and large. If I remember correctly, Long Lake flows into both the Great Lakes and Arctic watershed. (Either naturally due to morphology of lake basin or from damming). Have driven past Longlac countless times in the 80s when driving the northern route.

    I've had a problem with cans of beer breaking open due to vibration in a small soft cooler in my saddlebag on my motorcycle. What I have come to do is I put those thin koozies over them to stop them from vibrating and rubbing on themselves which stops them from breaking open. And then of course when you put your beer in a cold river or lake you have a cozy to keep them colder longer. It's a win-win. Maybe a helpful hint that you can use on your journeys.

    Nice video, Jon, and I'm sorry you had to cut your trip short. Though, as usual, it sounds like you made the right decision. I hope your friend is okay. I've really been enjoying your channel. Though your styles differ, your canoeing and winter camping posts have gone a long way in filling the huge void left when Glen "Hoop" Hooper stepped back from his Wintertrekker channel. They really help me enjoy the wilderness vicariously even when I'm stuck inside. Keep up the good work. Oh, the "debris" bugs in the pond at your camp were the larval stage of caddisflies. Each larvae will spin a silken case, and camouflage it with local debris...sometimes pebbles, sometimes vegetation. Fair winds and tight lines.

    Well, the channel is off and running now and all from scratch. Well done sir! It doesn't hurt that your film-making is excellent, what with your 37 go-pros and every conceivable camera angle catching every possible animal and insect sighting, not to mention the time lapses and drone footage. You are the quintessential duck: all calm and cool above the waterline yet paddling like crazy out of sight of your viewers... all that planning and preparation and circling back to pick up cameras for parting shots. Wow. This is primo back country documentation. You should be proud.
